Quality Inn Florence, Quality Bed and Breakfast Centre of Florence, Italy

For first time and regular visitors to B&B Residenza Il Villino, there is a surprise that is waiting to spring up to you as a way of welcoming you to one of the foremost bed and breakfasts in the centre of Florence. The bed and breakfast center of Florence was our only stop throughout the previous year and this was during the long holiday period of the year which meant we had ample time to experience Tuscany first hand. To begin with, we had to book for our flight early enough to secure comfortable seats on the long haul to Italy since we were traveling from the U.S. We bought travel packages that gave us some rebates on the European airline we used. We had been given Residenza Il Villino as the best and recommended hotel we should choose for our Florence trip and was also told that this was a quality bed and breakfast hotel whose reputation for cleanliness and affordability was legend.

So for the early booking, my husband and I went through the site's portal which is www.residenzailvillino.com where we made our reservations. The entire process was smooth and quick with none of the usual hitches associated with such online transactions. This was the first confirmation we had before we decided the trip was one that we were most likely going to enjoy rather than endure. We had a contact in Florence that was introduced to us by the friend who recommended Residenza Il Villino so we sought and got a comprehensive piece of reliable information on how to get there. From some online sites, we were able to get the map to Residenza Il Villino and all available means of getting there. Being a top quality bed and breakfast inn, there were a lot of places we could source for these vital pieces of information especially online which we relied on to get started with preparations.

If you are coming by air via Florence Airport Amerigo Vespucci, it's just about 7 km and with only 20 Euro, a taxi service can take you to Residenza Il Villino or you can gowith the half hour bus shuttle service. Meanwhile, we came through the Pisa Airport Galileo Galilei which was quite further with a distance of close to 100 km, so we had to use the train service. Thankfully, the Residenza Il Villino bed and breakfast lodge was just about 20 minutes walk from the station and because we didn't come with too much luggage, this would have weighed us down. The thought of putting up in the quality inn of one of Florence's best bed and breakfast simply made us trim down our stuff. We were given a set of room rates for single, double, extra bed and suite rooms which range from between 20 to 190 Euros so that you are without excuses as to the budget yo need for your accommodation.

We were told that these rates include heating, tax, buffet breakfast, air conditioning, kitchenware, towel and other services. However, don't expect services like beverage, telephone and parking services as part of the prices. For those with preference for rooms with balcony views, a surcharge of 10 Euro applies and there is a 5% rebate for payments made in cash. You can check-in at any time of the day but check out must definitely be before 11 am otherwise you risk paying for another full day. To say that we had a wonderful time in Florence will be undestating the obvious because we had a dedicated tour guide who gave all her time and energy to make sure that we were well educated about the history of the city and how Residenza Il Villino came to be. We were simply thrilled to be given a VIP reception from the time we arrived at the bed and breakfast hotel up to the very moment we were set to leave.
