Rustic, basic, 4-5k north of the centre of the city. Lovely place to stay. Quite a walk from the centre of the city but it's a nice walk along a river that's like a wildlife haven. There's a resident heron, noisy frogs in the mud & reeds, ducks, dragonflies and even a family of coypu. The owner of the B&B speaks perfect English but we only saw him once. The place is run by a couple of young ladies who you'll see at breakfast. Breakfast is tea, coffee, bread, ham, cheese, jams, cereals, pastries. It was all lovely and we sat in the courtyard and enjoyed the morning sun before we went off to the city centre. The room was cool and comfortable, perfect after a hot day sightseeing and the shower was excellent. No tea/coffee in the room but that's seems to be an English thing. We were also walking distance, perhaps 1-1.5k from the Stadio Artemio Franchi where we saw Fiorentina play their final game of the season, the Decameron aflorence is also very close to a bus route into the city centre. All in all, an excellent place to stay in Florence. If arriving very late be aware there is an extra charge of 15 Euros.
