Despite being a bit further out that I'd realised the Argentiere is great as it is in a quiet neighbourhood. It is very close to a main bus route with buses into Florence every 10 minutes. Buy a multi trip ticket from the tobacco shop 5 minutes walk away and enjoy mixing with the locals. The rooms were very large and the breakfasts were good. It is not what I'd define as a B&B, more like a small hotel but the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Estuvo perfecta nuestro hospedaje, nos toco un cuarto nuevo e impecable, muy buena atencion y desayuno. La ubicacion es bastante buena ya que no dejan ingresar a Florencia en auto y pasan buses cerca del hotel que nos dejaron dentro de la parte historica. Muy recomendable!!

The hotel was located about a 30 minute bus ride from the train station. Be sure you ask when you purchase your bus ticket where exactly to find the bus. It took us 20 minutes to find the spot where the correct bus stopped. I looked so simple but believe me it is not. Once we found the bus, it was only a slight problem knowing where to get off---the directions given by the hotel are only fair. Ask the passengers of the bus to tell you when to get off and save yourself some unwanted steps. Once we found the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised. It is about 15 minute bus ride outside of Florence, very clean, very quite and the staff was very accommodating. The only downfall was the breakfast left alot to be desired. Oh well, coffee and croissants are cheap. If you plan on eating at a restaurant near the hotel forget it as there is only one pizza place nearby. Our first night we did not realize this and came back from Florence about 8PM only to find the one restaurant closed. We were saved by a deli with a very friendly person who provided us with a banquet which we took back to our room. The art in Florence is truly magnificent, the shopping never-ending and gelatto fantastic. Go and enjoy the city and then head to Lake Maggiorie for peace and tranquality and to Venice for wonderful art without the crowds of Florence....just go after the summer season. When heading back to the train station, you MUST change busses in downtown Florence or else you will take more than an hour to get back to the train station.

Hotel was difficult to find according to directions provided by web site. Far from the center. Bus ticket difficult to get re opening hours of vendor. No restaurant in the area for dinner. Very good buffet for breakfast included in price

This B&B was nice. The location is a bit far from the historic city center but there was a bus stop very close by there and back. The breakfast was good- lots of choice. The room was fairly standard if not a little small. Overall nice place to stay.
