Found this property through Alistair Sawday's Special Places. Charming place and very helpful staff. Slightly away from the noisy hurley burley of the Duomo area. Particularly loved the roof top terrace for breakfast or just a breath of fresh air! more

This lovely intimate hotel is located about 12 minutes from the centre of the city, with cafes and restaurants within a one to two minute walk. The staff were very helpful and called for taxis, called the train station, called for theatre tickets, and even arranged for breakfast to be available for an early morning (6 am) departure.

I was traveling by myself to go to a cooking school outside of Florence and wanted a safe and convenient place to stay in Florence for a couple of days prior to the cooking school. Antica Dimora Johlea was really a wonderful place to stay. I felt at home and welcomed and the people working there were very helpful. It... more

Our 2 nights spent at Antica Dimora Johlea were prticularly pleasurable!

Difficult and expensive to park our car nearby and no... more

The reviews lived up to our expectations. The rooms are beautifully presented. Adequate space for our needs. The ability to make tea/coffee whenever we wanted and to be able to enjoy it in this relaxing place was wonderful for us. The view from the rooftop terrace was to die for and we were made to feel so welcome by the... more

The beautiful decorative details, very comfortable large rooms & rooftop deck with great view of the Duomo make Antica Dimora Johlea a lovely oasis in Florence. Ute made us feel very welcome, offered excellent restaurant recommendations & saved us from those dreaded art gallery queues with prior arrangements. It's very close to the Galleria dell' Accademia. more
