My husband and I visited Italy for the first time, and honestly, we can’t think of a better place to have begun our adventure. Il Bargellino was a terrific home base to have in Florence. It was within walking distance of all the major sites and only a few blocks from the train station, yet it was on a quiet... more

This was exactly what I was looking for, on my first visit to Europe and Italy. A longtime friend and I took a whirlwind, low budget 5-day tour of Italy in Feb 2008. After much web research, I chose Hotel Il Bargellino for two nights, based on the reviews on how friendly Carmel and Pino were. The hotel definitely met... more

Hotel Il Bargellino was terrific. The location is great--walking distance from the train station and close to center of Florence near the Duomo. Carmel, the proprietor, was most helpful prior to our stay. She reserved tickets to galleries for us ahead of time also. Her niece Rosita was managing the hotel during our stay, and she, too, was most helpful.... more

I have stayed at Il Bargellino twice and will stay there on future visits to Florence. Bargellino is a small hotel offering personal service, convenient location, and probably the best hotel bed I've ever slept on. The rooms are a good size and most have a private bath. There are a few rooms that share a bath down the hall,... more

Great place to stay and handy to the train station. Handy to everyhting actually. Rooms were nice, a little small, but a good price and the location. Lovely deck area and the owners were very helpful. more

We have stayed at Il Bargellino on 4 different trips to Florence. It first caught our attention because it was so convenient to the train station, but it now we feel like it is our Florence home. Carmel and Pino have always been gratious and hospitable providding us with whatever they could to make us comfortable. The rooms are clean,... more

This was our second trip to Italy.....Last time we stayed in a hotel north of Florence and bussed in daily but we decided this time we decided to stay in the old section of the city iteself.....We were glad we did.......We arrived late from Pisa but Carmen and Pino were there to receive us. Il Bargellino is a small hotel... more

This hotel is a good buy for the price. Yes, it is not a four-star hotel, but it has a lot of pluses. The owners are very nice. They booked my museum reservations in advance. I got very prompt responses to my e-mail when planning our trip. Our room opened onto the terrace. It is wonderful to sit out there... more

I just returned from a 7 night stay at the Il Bargellino and once again, I was truly sad to leave. The hotel was full when I originally planned to go so I rearranged my dates. I enjoy the hotel so much, I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else when I'm in Florence. It is so charming and Pino and... more
