Loved the Rosary Garden Hotel! It’s a quaint, charming hotel right outside of Florence. The staff was kind and helpful, especially Antonio. Breakfast was delicious!! It was a direct, short bus ride in to Florence City center. Only downside was the TV didn’t work right and we couldn’t get the AC to turn on. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay there.

The hotel was wonderful! The staff was helpful with helping navigate the public transit and booking transportation. It is close to a few bus stops that will get you to the historic center quickly. The staff was kind and welcoming. We had the Expedia VIP upgrade for our room and it was amazing. The breakfast had several options and was delicious. Would come back!

The front desk staff was very helpful with all things. The only downside is it is not close to the city center and you need to take the bus to get to the center. However there is a stop right in front of the hotel. The breakfast is ok. If you are looking for a hot breakfast every morning this place is not for you. They have a small breakfast room and they ask you for the time you plan on eating. Dino in the breakfast room is a plus. He knows the area very well and is originally from Canada. Rooms were very spacious, clean and the bathroom is one of the bigger ones I've been in Italy.

The staff are all brilliant. All very helpful with maps and bus information. Our room was fantastic and unique with a lovely high timbered ceiling. The breakfast room is on the small side so you need to book a time. It works well though. The hotel is a bit difficult to find by car so would benefit from having a map and arrival instructions. Car park is 2 minutes walk.

A Fantastic Find.
This is an amazing older style hotel with modern amenities. Perfect finishes and overall cleanlyness makes this property one of the best. The proud management team went out of their to make us and all their guests feel special. For us the location was perfect with a top rated restaurant next door, shopping centre with supermarket over the road and easy quick access downtown using the local public busses. Would gladly return and we recommend this hotel most highly. The best.

The hotel is extremely charming and very well-maintained. The neighborhood is out of the center, which is an essential feature for me as I come for business and like to avoid the crowds in summer. (Tourists would have an easy walk to the sights, however.) Hotel Wifi worked beautifully and a substantial breakfast is included. I particularly want to signal out the desk and breakfast room staff for cordiality, professionalism, and helpfulness. A wonderful value all around for those seeking a more tranquil locale. I will return here for my next trip; this was my first stay.

Andrea (receptionist) is the best!!!. This hotel is gorgeous and cozy, easy to walk around and take the bus to go the the main touristic spots, nice restaurants and big supermarket around to the hotel . Andrea was super helful and patiently answered all the questions i had regarding the place and our stay, he even provided us with bus tickets(they sell them at the hotel) and gave us information needed to move around and enjoy our quick visit to Firenze . Our room was gorgeous, big bed and beautiful Renaissance decorated (we got an upgrade for being gold member ) cozy and comfortable. But without a doubt what makes this hotel unique (besides the decor)is the staff, what an excellent customer service.

Hotel decor was very tasteful. Even though rooms were a bit small they are very well laid out. Check on receptionist (owner?) was very helpful especially on bus routes etc. The name Rosary Garden suggests that there is a garden however there isn't a garden.

We definitely got spoiled at this hotel and the next one we stayed at couldn't live up. The room was a good size and the staff was so friendly. My complaint would be that the bed was a little too hard (though not uncommon for a hotel) and it was far from the center of town. Also, GPS took us to the side of the building so we had trouble finding the door. Look for La Piazzetta sign and the door to the hotel os right next to it.

Lovely hotel and I’m very happy I picked Rosary Garden for my first trip to Florence! Located ~20-25 min from the city center, it is easy to get to and from by buses (or a cab) Complimentary breakfast was delish, rooms are cute and staff is most helpful. Recommended for a stay. One downside is that you most likely won’t be walking to and from hotel so you have to be ready to take transportation.

This was our third stay at this small family-run hotel and we plan to stay here whenever we return to Florence. The hotel staff - Monica, Andrea, and Rodrigo are helpful and accommodating. They really made us feel like we were returning to see old friends. The hotel is located a short bus ride (15 minutes) from the city center, but that distance is easily walkable on a nice day if you want some exercise. Our room was spacious and clean, and we enjoyed the complimentary mini-bar drinks and the alcoholic drinks in the sitting room when we returned at the end of the day. The breakfast buffet was a good start to the day with fresh croissants and pastries, various deli meats and cheeses, fruit, yogurt, juice, etc., but the highlight is always the delicious cappuccino! Many thanks for our wonderful stay!

The Rosary garden hotel was exceptional, the staff were extremely helpful and polite, the location was about 3 miles out of Florence in a lovely spot next to shops and a few restaurants. The bus stop was a two minute walk from the hotel and the number 23 bus was a fantastic bus to take. The price of bus tickets is 1euro 50 and lasts 90min which you can buy from the hotel. The taxi is about 30-40 euros to and from the airport, 14- 16 euros into the city of Florence. The hotel room was great with the most amazing comfy queen size bed. My Wife and I felt spoilt and very much relaxed at the hotel. We would rate the hotel as 4 half stars we absolutely loved our stay. Thank you

The location is safe and the way it’s small you meet other travelers at tea time/coffee or breakfast. The owner is very accommodating. Rooms are clean and home feeling. Room is perfectly roomy. They take your keys while you leave for a safety measure. Traveling alone this is a huge plus. They can help set up tours and transportation. Would recommend ask owner what restaurants to go eat at her choices were great.

Truly the best service and hospitality experience we have EVER had while traveling. Monica is absolutely incredible. She is so kind and helpful. It is evident that Rosary Garden is so much for than a job or business for her. Her guests are her top priority and it is her passion to create an amazing stay for each of them. She adds so many extra touches in the hotel, like complimentary espresso, snacks, and bikes. The location of Rosary Garden is perfect. Quiet and away from the Florence center but only 15min bus ride to the city. The bus stop is literally in front of the hotel and costs only $1.50 euros. As there are no Ubers in Italy, being able to take the bus rather than having to call a taxi to the hotel each time you want to leave is perfect. Not to mention the best gelato in Italy right next to the hotel as well! Monica is so sweet. She remembers even the smallest details about her clients. When we first arrived, my husband and I made a funny comment about really liking her pens - they were great quality! To our surprise, when we came back to our room on the last night, she had left a little gift bag and note with two pens in it, thanking us for staying at Rosary Garden. That kind of thoughtfulness is unparalleled with any hotel experience I've ever had. Thank you, Monica! We were so happy with our stay at Rosary Garden and will most definitely be back!

And like any respectable host, my first interest is to make sure that my guests feel surrounded by attention and are happy, and I'm glad to have succeeded with you! Thank you also for having given an excellent description of the hotel with its services, its location and means of transportation: I'm sure this will be precious to many other guests who will come in the future.
