Bed & Breakfast Il Bargello – A Favorite for Families in Florence

Bed & Breakfast Il Bargello occupies a restored 15th-century building just 200 metres from Florence Cathedral. The property retains exposed wood-beamed ceilings and a red-themed décor across all rooms. A 77-step stone staircase leads to the top-floor apartment, offering direct access to the rooftop terrace and shared lounge.

The rooftop terrace is fitted with a gazebo and chairs and provides views over the Florence skyline. Guests have 24-hour access to a shared kitchenette with a tea and coffee machine, plus a shared lounge and TV area. The terrace is open to all guests and serves as a quiet outdoor seating area.

Each room is air-conditioned and comes with a private bathroom equipped with a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. Rooms feature either a shower or a bath and are cleaned daily by the maid service. Luggage storage and a safety deposit box are available for all guests.

The hotel is 200 metres from Florence Cathedral and a 10-minute walk from Michelangelo's David at the Accademia Gallery. The Ponte Vecchio bridge is 600 metres away, and the Bargello National Museum is around the corner. Santa Maria Novella Train Station is reachable on foot in 10 minutes, and a parking garage is available 100 metres from the entrance.

A daily buffet-style Italian breakfast is served in the dining room and includes pastries, muesli, fresh fruit, and beverages.
