1865 Residenza D'epoca

Great host and beautiful rooms

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The hotel is beautiful and very well situated - slightly away from the hustle and bustle of tourist areas but also easily within reach of them. We were made to feel extremely welcome (by 'Matthew') and the fantastic advice about places to go and things to see, and the overall service was second to none. Staying here feels like a truly unique experience and one that will stand out from many others for years to come!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was so perfect! The location is incredible, on a quiet street and walking distance to everything we wanted to do while in Florence. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room was so comfortable!

Our room was disappointing. The impression was all the rooms have murals on the ceiling. Ours did not. The pics also show light airy rooms, ours was dark brown and a little depressing and cramped. The lighting inside was terrible. You couldn't see to unpack and the lighting in the bathroom was even worse. It had heat lamps only which when putting on makeup made you swear and had a horrible glare. I told my husband i hoped it looked good because I had no way of knowing for sure. With no other mirrors in the room. The worst hotel lighting ever experienced. Pillows were so,bad we had to ask for extra for any support and there wasnt a top sheet on the bed only a comforter. This made for a very hot night as the air conditioner did not work or was preset that we couldn't lower at all. Breakfast Selections were minimal and due to the same options every day we chose to eat elsewhere on day 3. I was beyond disappointed. The reviews were so good but this stay fell way short. I would not return or recommend.

It was a great pleasure to stay at 1865 Residenza D'epoca. Cinzia & Michel are warm hosts who took care of all our needs. The rooms are clean, spacious, convenient and have a special atmosphere, the location is central, and I would highly recommend staying here!
