科里 1 號公寓 - 佛羅倫斯

My daughter and I used this as a base for Florence and found it just right for what we were needing. Its position was ideal for walking into the center and yet far enough away to avoid traffic congestion or noise. Very informal relaxed ambience. The owner was reachable by mobile, if necessary. We would say the price (inexpensive) reflects the standard so don't expect the best.

It was a pleasant stay in a quiet and beautiful neighbourhood close to the Boboli Gardens.

Residence I Colli is a beautiful gated property from the golden age of Florence. The rooms are enormous -- we had a suite with a bed room, sitting area, and kitchen. Next to Bobboli Gardens, 2 blocks from Porto Romano, 15-minute walk to the Pitti Palace. We would stay here again, no doubt. Nits: 1:You may get tired of the uphill slog you have to make from the Porto Romano, and then the flights of stairs to your room. 2:, kitchen did not have an oven, microwave or otherwise; OK, we made do with stove-top cooking. (There are some fresh produce stands by the Porto Romano and a small supermarket nearby.) Third, the neighborhood did not have an abundance of the wonderful little restaurants in the wonderful little neighborhoods that we love about Italy. We were quite warm one night, so thank heaven for the electric fan in the room -- but one day we came in and someone had taken it. Our room wasn't cleaned during our stay, and that's OK, but if your'e going to come in at least empty the trash and don't take the fan! This is a minor complaint, and a quick chat at the desk got our fan back, so no worries. But this is just to say that the service is... uneven. Overall it's a gorgeous building, wonderful antique furniture, very quiet, lovely staff and management, in a neighborhood that's a bit out of the way. And we were astonished at the low price of the room, considering its size and location -- a bargain.

This hotel is a bit of a hike to reach on foot with baggage, but not if you use the local buses which run frequently from Santa Maria Novella.The staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was really a finely appointed apartment with kitchenette up a staircase. The place was once an elegant villa, therefore high ceilings and spacious rooms. The bed linens and bathroom were clean, but the floor really needed a good vacuuming in each room! Internet was only available sitting outside our room, and the connection we sporadic, at best. If you are not too dependent on that, it is a very quiet place to stay about a ten minute walk up a hill behind the Boboli Gardens. I think the owner could spend more attention on the garden which could be charming, and just oversee things more carefully. It has the potential to be four stars, but not as is!

Gorgeous building, gardens and neighborhood.
