What guests think
Across many reviews, La Fonderia Firenze is praised for exceptionally friendly, attentive hosts and generous breakfasts, with guests enjoying the quiet garden setting and walkable location slightly outside central Florence.
Rooms range from compact attic singles with low ceilings to spacious family options, some with terraces or garden access; beds are generally comfortable. Cleanliness is consistently noted, and guests appreciate all-day snacks and drinks. Reported drawbacks include many stairs and limited accessibility, occasional air conditioning challenges or mosquitoes, sporadic noise near the kitchen, and occasional check-in communication issues. Expect a relaxed, home-style B&B stay.

Staff were so kind and helpful. Whilst like room was small it was well planned and had everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely and so nice eating on our own little terrace, garden was very pretty. Coffee and snacks left out for you to help yourself which was great when you get back from a long day sightseeing. Would definitely visit again 😊

Nice people and lovely place. The host was very helpful and we could get something to drink or grab a bite at any time of the day. There was always food on the table. The only thing we didn't like was that there was no bidet in the bathroom.

Delightful establishment within walking distance of the city centre. Very friendly welcome and Joan was always very helpful and pleasant throughout the stay. Stayed in the single room which although small was very quiet and perfectly comfortable - having the whole upstairs mezzanine area to yourself gives you plenty of space. Kitchen/conservatory area was very clean and nicely decorated and having tea and coffee making facilities along with biscuits and cake available 24 hours a day was very welcome - always a good spread for breakfast as well! Whilst being in easy reach of the city centre, there are a number of excellent restaurants and bars nearby which are well worth checking out for a slightly less touristy experience. Overall a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it.

The best part about the B&B was Joan! She was very pleasant and available. My room had 2 long doors with windows with a nice view of the outdoors, however there are mosquitos. The room & bathroom were small (normal for Europe) but nice. Location close to the Arno was a plus.

Very friendly hosts, breakfast was delicious! We loved looking out at the garden and we had a little terrace off our room, but it was just so hot when we were there we didn’t really get to enjoy it. We found the air conditioning in our room had a hard time keeping up, so they gave us a fan and that helped a lot. Bed was comfortable and there were always snacks in the main area. An important note, there are a lot of stairs, so if you need a handicapped accessible property this is not it, but it was very charming.

I was lucky to have a whole little area including bedroom and separate bathroom and little balcony which was exclusive for the single room. I can’t recommend staying at the hotel enough the garden is beautiful too. .

We would love to return again and highly recommend it to any travelers at all - with or without children. We were able to take the bus easily multiple times and walked to the city center many times as well. We always felt safe and fully enjoyed our time. Joan, who worked at La Fonderia was incredibly kind, willing to help with anything, and did a marvelous job with breakfast, recommendations, and other help as needed.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would gladly recommend it to anyone seeking a short-term accommodation. The breakfast was delightful, and the garden added to the serene atmosphere. However, the only drawback was the lack of communication regarding check-in instructions. Arriving after 3 PM without receiving any email left me locked out for about an hour. Unfortunately, I couldn't contact them due to not having a SIM card. It's essential to ensure all guests have access to necessary information, as not everyone may have the means to call for assistance

Property was well located, 15 min Walk from Ponte Vecchio and easily accesible by public transportation. Johanna was very nice and helpful, room was clean and had all necessary supplies. Bonus points because breakfast was very good. Recommended!

The best part about the B&B was Joan! She was very pleasant and available. My room had 2 long doors with windows with a nice view of the outdoors, however there are mosquitos. The room & bathroom were small (normal for Europe) but nice. Location close to the Arno was a plus.

Breakfast is frequently praised for quality and variety, and many enjoy eating in the garden. A minority felt it could be better for the price.

I really enjoyed this bed and breakfast, where you could have the breakfast in the garden. Felt more like a real b&b than a hotel or air bnb for example, which was nice. The breakfastcould have been a little nicer for the price. Location was good, 20 minutes from train station by foot

Vi havde en fantastisk oplevelse her. Joan var super sød og hjælpsom og vores værelse var et af de fineste vi har boet på, med en dejlig lille terrasse til! Rent og pænt, høj service og dejligt udvalg af morgenmad også. Tak for et dejligt ophold i Firenze.

The staff were fantastic (Joan & Alessandro)! They treated us like close friends. Breakfast was diverse enough that everyone could find something they loved. Loved everything about this place!

It was an unexpected oasis in the middle of Florence. It was a very welcoming environment and the breakfast allowed for many options and combinations.

Delightful establishment within walking distance of the city centre. Very friendly welcome and Joan was always very helpful and pleasant throughout the stay. Stayed in the single room which although small was very quiet and perfectly comfortable - having the whole upstairs mezzanine area to yourself gives you plenty of space. Kitchen/conservatory area was very clean and nicely decorated and having tea and coffee making facilities along with biscuits and cake available 24 hours a day was very welcome - always a good spread for breakfast as well! Whilst being in easy reach of the city centre, there are a number of excellent restaurants and bars nearby which are well worth checking out for a slightly less touristy experience. Overall a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it.

The hostess graciously helped me to figure out buses, walking routes, etc. The place is darling, quiet, and there is a wonderful breakfast. I hope to come back and stay here again!

Just returned from a fantastic stay I can’t express how overjoyed and Impressed with the accommodation, service I received. The breakfast was amazing! Cleanliness was excellent. I was lucky to have a whole little area including bedroom and separate bathroom and little balcony which was exclusive for the single room. I can’t recommend staying at the hotel enough the garden is beautiful too. .

The room (family room with loft) was updated and very well kept, as was the overall property. Breakfast area and garden were perfect for rest after a day of exploring. Food was plentiful and excellent. Joan, one of the operators, was a joy to be around. Great option for couples and families.

Staff was lovely and very helpful. Bathroom nicely renovated. Unfortunately I had to leave before breakfast but it seemed to be a nice selection. The only thing I didn’t like was it was a very small attic room with a very low ceiling. Nice automatic blinds installed. Felt like a fire trap - up a small spiral staircase to get to top. Clean though.

A charming place well situated to explore, a bit of a reprieve from the very busy area. Joan was very attentive and helpful, and offered a good breakfast that set us up well for the day. Very clean.
