Have you stayed here? Write your own review below
| Don’t let the scruffy entrance, nor the (two) steep flights of steps put you off. Immaculate Canto de Nelli is haven of peace, far removed from the bustling leather market below. Owner Faride is a cultured, generous hostess and her breakfasts in the welcoming, homely kitchen/breakfast room or on the roof terrace are delicious. Light, airy bedrooms (with ensuite bathrooms) are simply yet attractively furnished, with crisp bedlinen and stunning views of the Basilica San Lorenzo. High standards and kind prices. |

They Say... Bed and Beakfast Canto de' Nelli is located right in the center of Florence, a few steps from the Duomo and the Railway Station (Santa Maria Novella).
The second floor of an old palace and completely restored in 2005, it features large and airy bedrooms, a pleasant lounge, quiet terrace and, in addition, the warm welcome of its hostess.
Its windows provide an enchanting view of the church of San Lorenzo, the Medici Chapels, and the Cathedral (Duomo) of Santa Maria del Fiore.
Being in the heart of the characteristic San Lorenzo quarter, visitors to B&B Canto de' Nelli can get to know one of the city's most vivacious markets, stroll through ancient streets and twisting alleys, explore traditional Florentine stores and artisans' shops.
The area, moreover, contains many schools for foreigners (some affiliated with American colleges) offering courses not only in Italian language and culture but in art, music, fashion and handicrafts as well.
For those coming to Florence on business, the commercial fair grounds of the Fortezza da Basso and the Palazzo dei Congressi convention center are within easy walking distance.
B&B Canto de' Nelli is a family-run enterprise, characterized by hospitality, discretion and helpfulness.
