We loved our stay at Relais Cavalcanti! The room was clean and spacious. The location couldn't have been better -- right in the heart of all the sights -- just a 5 minute walk to the Uffizzi, the Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio. The sisters who manage the hotel are very helpful and speak good English. The bathroom was the... more

My mother and father in law have just returned from their weekend at Relais Cavalcanti in Florence (silver wedding anniversary present from us). They said "It's the most wonderful B+B with such a great location. Being so central meant we could pop back for a rest before taking another walk around this wonderful place". They were able to make their... more

We arrived by train from Bologna (where we should have stayed 3 days instead of 2) and decided to walk from Santa Maria Novella to the Relais; with 2 wheeled carry-ons took us less than 15 minutes to arrive. As clearly indicated in Francesca & Anna's e-mail, it is the door right close to the Old Stove Irish Pub. Francesca... more

It was a pleasure to show my 8 year-old son the Florence of our ancestors starting from the Relais Cavalcanti. Its location is the best in town, a few steps from Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio Palazzo Pitti, Il Duomo and all the city's main attractions. The Renaiscence building is beautiful and excepcionally preserved and beautifully decorated. The rooms are... more

The Relais Cavalcanti is located in the heart of Florence. You are within steps of the Straw Market, Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Duomo. Francesca was the most welcoming b&b host we have ever experienced. She outlined detailed recommendations for restaurants, shops, groceries, and attractions on a map of Florence and provided tourist tips for everything in Florence.... more

Relais Cavalcanti is in the perfect location in Florence. It was a short and fairly easy walk from the train station as well as a couple minutes' walk to nearly all the major sites. My husband and I appreciated the flexibility to stop by the room quickly in the middle of the day, if need be. We also loved walking... more

I finally chose this property because of the location and we were not disappointed. There are some minor issues, steps, small lift, 5 keys, attendant only present for a few hours per day. We knew all these things up front and none presented a problem. The staff was very helpful. The rooms were spacious. The water in the shower was... more

The location is exemplary - a few minutes walk from the Uffizi & Ponte Vecchio. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. They showed us the best shops, cafes and restaurants. Our room was nice & clean - comfy, firm bed and a very nicely decorated bathroom with roomy shower (no bath). It is near a pub and restaurant... more
