Before arrival I had contacted the Casa del Garbo for help to overcome the obvious difficulties of arriving by car, directions in negotiating the one-way system and have somewhere to park for 4 days. The rapid and helpful email responses on these and other queries from both Giovanna and Martina was exactly how I found them on arrival: welcoming, courteous,... more

My husband and our two young children stayed one night at Casa del Garbo, after landing in Florence. It was absolutely perfect. Warm and professional service from Giovanna, immaculate apartment with everything we needed (microwave, fridge, great shower and bath, wonderful view of the piazza), breakfast served in our "dining room" the following morning, and a location to die for.... more

We just returned, my niece and I, from Italy and had a fantastic time! It was our first time to Italy but will not be our last. I contacted the residence through their website ([--]) and received an immediate response. We were given the Michelangelo which turned out to be exactly like the pictures on their website. La Casa del... more

Everything about this hotel was spot on. We stayed in one of the new-ish B & B rooms, well equipped, classically decorated, and a bathroom which incorporated sauna, bath, showers and hydrojets in one. The breakfast was continental style, croissants, bread rolls, ham & cheese, jams with juice/tea/coffee, and plenty of it. The staff were extremely helpful, they booked my... more

I stayed three nights in the Arnolfo apartment and was mostly impressed with this hotel. The location cannot be bettered and the apartment was extremely comfortable and well-equipped. However, I was not impressed with the "nominal" fee for late check-in. This amounted to Euros 30 - hardly a nominal amount and also not included in the total cash paid on... more

I recently had the amazing opportunity of visiting Florence, Italy and staying at the Casa del Garbo. The location is perfect.....right in the middle of the most famous piazza in Florence, Piazza della Signoria!! My room was spectacular, first class all the way!! The staff was very friendly and accomodating. Janis was exceptionally helpful in making our stay a the... more

I just returned from 3 weeks in Italy and I must say that Casa del Garbo was my favorite place we stayed. This was my first trip to Italy and I spent a lot of time handpicking the places I stayed. I wanted good locations that were charming. That is exactly what I got and it went above and beyond... more

I stayed in the Leonardo apartment in La Casa del Garbo from September till december of 2004 and in these 3 months I spent some of the most wonderful days of my life. I’ve to say that the place is really amazing , so charming, so beautiful that I’m planning to go back. Before going there I was affraid cause... more
