Very cozy and comfortable spot. Just wish they had coffee. We did not have the breakfast. Location is a little removed unfortunately, but overall an excellent option.
Very clean and comfortable stay and close to transport links. The owner Angelica was very helpful and really quick to answer questions and help sort out remote check in. The room was huge and very comfortable for the few days I stayed there. I didnt get the breakfast so I can't comment on it but there were supermarkets and food places a short walk away. I would recommend staying here, I felt safe as a solo traveller.

Very nice stay. Large room and large bathroom. very nice balcony and upper patio. good location. the main thing that was a problem was a loud hammering/buzzing noise that happened every 30 seconds. no idea where it was coming from.
Overall good, kinda far from main attractions but still a nice quiet place

Room was very clean and well kept. Kitchen was locked all day so make sure you take a kettle. Didn’t see anyone having a breakfast while we were there. We got our own. The patio area let it down as was very tired and seating seen better days. Room could have done with a little fridge. Air conditioning was good. Near transport. Basic but good
I had a really wonderful stay! The location was nice and quiet. It was also a relatively short walk to the train station. The staff at the reception desk was super helpful and accommodating, I would definitely stay here again!
There is a tram station nearby, so it's very convenient. The water pressure in the shower was also great. Best of all, there is a delicious jarato restaurant nearby.
Easy to check in remotely. It was located next to a lot of restaurants and a nice park that we were able to walk to. Angelica, the property manager was so helpful! She provided me with great information on how to check in and use keys to get into the building.
I don’t normally write reviews but this was a really sweet small B+B which was perfect. Communal sun terrace for breakfast/ sitting out. It was clean and Angelica on reception friendly .
Check in was remote, but easy. Room as clean and nice. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. The only issue was traffic noise as it is by a busy road, but it was quiet during sleeping hours.
We enjoyed our stay at Il Sorriso. The communication between Angelica and Antonella was magnificent. The house is so close to the metro line for T1 at the Strozzi Fallacci line. We took breakfast and it was worth it. Thank you for everything!
This property was nice and clean and has a beautiful common terrace to sit on. It is about 15 min on foot to the Academia and 5 more to the Duomo. About a block to the tram - 3 stops to the Santa Maria Novella train station (where we departed for Venicia). Lucia was wonderful and helped us with our tourist needs. Thank you for a great stay!
The location is very convenient, walking distance to the Fortezza da Basso, the train station and fairly close to the city centre.
The room was clean.
The problems:
I ordered the breakfast. This was too expensive (10€) for what it offers considering what you can get from nearby bakeries. More importantly, one of the marmalades had been opened and used. I did not get a satisfactory explanation from the staff or any compensation (i.e. I was asked to pay for this). Apparently I was the only one who was having breakfast that day, so the staff had no idea who ate from my breakfast tray - that's a serious concern regarding hygiene.
There was no Internet service throughout my stay (6 nights, 6-12 July 2026).
I was only told that there is a problem with the line in the whole neighbourhood. I find it extremely hard to believe that a whole neighbourhood was left without Internet for a whole week. Even if this is the case, I was never offered any alternative or compensation. I was on a business trip, so this was extremely disruptive. I had to buy a sim with unlimited data to be able to work, which of course added to the total cost.
Good spot with a great terrace for trying out a bottle of Tuscan wine. Not in the city center but close enough to walk or use a short cab ride. It’s not fancy but we found it comfortable.
