I had a lovely stay at San Frediano Mansion, with excellent hospitality from Alessandro who offered fantastic recommendations. While the spacious room came with some quirks, like odd decor and a small shower, the location was perfect for exploring Florence. 😄 However, I wished there were food options available on-site.

I had a mixed experience at San Frediano Mansion. The location was fantastic, right in the center and close to notable landmarks, but the lack of service was disappointing. The beautiful high-ceilinged room with a frescoed ceiling was a highlight, yet the ongoing renovations left much to be desired in terms of comfort during my stay.

Rooms

My room was very spacious with a stunning frescoed ceiling and high ceilings, but it was dated and not particularly comfortable. I could hear noise from the street below, although closing the double windows helped mitigate it somewhat.
Service

Unfortunately, I felt let down by the service. The host was not present during my stay, which made it difficult to address the issues I encountered with the facilities. I even had to leave the keys behind since there was nobody to assist with check-out.

On the plus side, the location is excellent. It’s in the heart of Florence, close to the Pitti Palace and Ponte Vecchio. The neighborhood has a lovely atmosphere, being less touristy and more authentic.

Although dining options are not included, the area has plenty of local eateries that focus on fresh products, enhancing the overall experience.

The building is undergoing renovations which unfortunately resulted in unpleasant smells and noise; the elevator was also out of order most of the time. While the hotel features some historic charm, the comfort level was lacking due to these issues.

My stay at San Frediano Mansion was a mix of good experiences and a few drawbacks. The suite I occupied was spacious and comfortable, capturing the charm of a villa from the 1400s, yet I did notice some quirky furniture and a shower that could use some attention. While the neighborhood buzzed with life and offered plenty of great eateries and gelaterias, I wish there had been breakfast included and that some of the facilities were better maintained.

My stay at San Frediano Mansion was a good experience. The staff were always friendly and incredibly helpful, which really made a difference. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main attractions, though the quaint coffee shop around the corner had wonderful pastries. I do wish they served breakfast in-house, but overall, it was a lovely home away from home.
