B&B Mr. My Resort

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of places in Florence, but B&B Mr. My Resort caught me off guard in the best way possible. It’s tucked away on Via Delle Ruote – honestly, I walked past it twice before spotting the entrance – which turned out to be perfect because you’re close enough to everything but far enough from the tourist chaos that hits the city center every morning around 9 AM.

The thing about this place is that it actually feels like someone’s home that they’ve opened up to travelers, not some corporate hotel trying to fake intimacy. The owner (I’m pretty sure his name is actually Mr. My, which I thought was a translation quirk until I met him) knows exactly which bakery opens earliest for cornetti and will casually mention that the 7 bus is faster than walking to the Duomo, especially when your feet are already protesting from yesterday’s cobblestone marathon. The rooms have this lived-in comfort – proper blackout curtains that actually work, thank god, and those little touches like a decent coffee machine and towels that don’t feel like sandpaper. I mean, the décor isn’t going to win any design awards, but there’s something refreshing about a place that prioritizes function over Instagram-worthy aesthetics.

What really sold me was the neighborhood vibe. You’re literally a five-minute walk from Mercato Centrale, which means you can grab fresh produce or those incredible panini before the crowds descend, and there’s this tiny osteria around the corner – I think it’s called Il Convivio – that locals actually eat at. The street itself is pretty quiet, especially at night, though you’ll hear the occasional Vespa (it’s Florence, after all). Parking is… well, it’s Florence, so forget about that, but the train station is walkable if you don’t mind hauling luggage over uneven stones. The host was genuinely helpful with restaurant recommendations too – not the touristy spots everyone suggests, but places where you’ll actually want to linger over dinner. Honestly, with an 8.9 rating, I expected it to be good, but this felt more like staying with a knowledgeable friend who happens to have excellent taste in coffee and knows exactly how firm you want your pillows.

Reviews

• Brittany from United States (10/10)

  Place was quiet and out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the city center which we really enjoyed. Lorenzo was very helpful and informative on how to get around the city and what food is best to try and he nailed it. Would definitely stay again if we ever make it back to Florence.

• Rebecca from Australia (9/10)

  Great stay. Tommaso checked us in, was extremely helpful and informative. He also ensured that we didn't miss out on our breakfast on day two when we were leaving early for a Tuscany tour.

• Bronwyn from Australia (10/10)

  Had absolutely everything.

• David from United Kingdom (10/10)

  location, style of room, facilities in room, value for money, ease of check in and helpful host

• Stanley from Canada (8/10)

  The room was nice, plenty of room with a deck to the inside courtyard. The weather was rather wet so we didn't use it. The stairs going to the room were a bit of a surprise as all other rooms were on the ground floor. The location was good as away from the busy areas and plenty of good places to eat close by.
  Lorenzo was a great help with anything that we asked.

• Sarah from United States (10/10)

  My husband and I really appreciated a peaceful and clean place to stay so close to so many attractions in Florence. If you want to explore other places there is a train station nearby. Breakfast being offered daily and help getting a taxi service for airport transfers were a huge bonus. Thank you!

• Nick from Isle of Man (9/10)

  Great location for visiting Florence.
  Property nice and roomy, and clean and tidy.
  Cleaning staff did excellent job each day.
  Great bathroom in our room with very good shower, and the bed was very comfortable.

• Jeannette from Australia (10/10)

  Location, staff, convenience, and modern. Lovely fresh rolls for breakfast but some may find it monotonous if staying for extended period.

• Marlene from Canada (8/10)

  Close to city centre but in quieter area

• Joanne from Canada (9/10)

  The location was perfect. We could walk everywhere. Lorenza was so kind and extremely helpful from giving us instructions to ordering our taxi to the airport. He cleaned our room everyday and topped us up with water. Having full access to cappuccino machine and fresh fruit snd yogurt was so appreciated.
