Really friendly host, clean amenities, great breakfast, and overall wonderful stay. Would highly recommend! I liked staying south of the city versus in the center - was still easy to walk to but a little less chaotic.
We awoke each morning to the smell of croissants baking and fresh brewed coffee. Agostino and his parents were very attentive. Offering us suggestions on places to visits. The room was spotless, with lovely Italian linens.
We both love to walk, it was just a 15 minute walk to the old town, and also conveniently located on a bus route.
We would stay here again!

Have to remember it’s a Bed and breakfast, it’s an old building; Agustino, the host, is very attentive and helpful, his father is very sweet and setup breakfast every morning.
The rooms and building can totally use a renovation, but it is clean and just perfect for a quick stay to sleep and have breakfast.
It was great to have a breakfast option and we were pleased with it. Owner was very knowledgeable and offered suggestions for us in the area. The bus was close by so convenient for us. We also got moved to a nicer room with a pretty view.
When I first booked this place, I did it as a single. Then my friend joined me so I didn't do the right planning for a larger room. The double room would be fine for a couple or a single since there is only one bed, but there was room for all our clothes, very nice nightstands next to each side and it worked out fine. The hosts were all more than accommodating for everything we needed and had all the nice things for breakfast each morning; meats, cheeses, croissants, fruit, juice and coffee. And when taxi service was really hard, they would call one for us. A nice quiet neighborhood close enough to center but far enough to relax.
We had a pleasant stay. Augostino was a great host, very helpful and gave great recommendations on what to do in the Florence area. The breakfast was good: it consisted of croissants, fresh fruit, cheese, salamis, toast, yogurt, cereal, and eggs. During our stay, a water pipe broke somewhere in the neighborhood, leaving us with no water for 24h. Augostino handled it well with providing us with several water bottles, providing updates from the City of Florence, and waived the city tax for the inconvenience. The bed and breakfast is in a quiet residential place. We felt like locals while was nice! It’s about a 10-20 minute walk from the touristy stuff, which was good to walk off the gelato and pasta. Part of the walk is on a steep hill, so it may be challenging for people with mobility issues or for those who don’t want to walk uphill. I would recommend to stay here.
It was interesting and charming experience. The place is family run in an old house with character rooms. The rooms were nice and very clean. Bed was comfortable with expensive good quality linens. We had nice view from our window. Father, mother and son were all nice and helpful if to provide tips and suggestions. We had three mornings with breakfast where all family serve itTeh father was especially nice offering something different every morning to try new, be it specific cheese from different region or cake. Parking is problem next to the house but there is free street parking 5 or 10 minutes away by walking and the owner pointed it out to us and we used it The place is a walking distance down the hill to teh city limits (Roman gate where is also an entrance to Boboli gardens (10 min) and another 5-10 minutes walking to Ponto vechio and Uffi gallery and centre. You can use buses from down town to come up the hill..
The room was adequate. The owner was not very helpful in general. Note that this place is at the top of a large hill and not easy to get taxi service. Not accessible for older people or people with disabilities.

Fantastiks service
Værten bød os pænt velkommen. Han var så rar ! Værelset og hotellet sf ældre stand, men det fungerede godt. Rengøringen kunne gøres bedre.
We loved the location, easy transportation to the city center or an enjoyable walk. The room was charming, clean and efficient. The owner was attentive and kind, check in was easy. The shower was fantastic. Breakfast was delicious. I would stay here again.

Our stay at the Sangaggio house was ok. It was a quiet area without worrying about driving in ZTL zones with free parking. About a 30 minute walk to Florence city center.
The Good:
Free parking
Augustino does have a laundry service for $5eu
Breakfast included and the fresh made pastries daily were nice
Nice restaurant down the street
Augustino and his dad were hospitable
Wifi works well
The Bad:
The room was not very sound proof. The people next door and to the side were quite loud and you hear everything outside of the rooms
The entryway and hallway have an odor to it that is hard to describe, it does not smell in the rooms though
The bed was ok and everyone has they opinion on beds but it was firm and older feeling.
Overall, I think our stay was nice at Sangaggio but there is room for improvement.
Nice little place that has a country home feeling, rooms that are facing the street could be noisy in the morning during garbage pick up. Luckily is was not hot enough to use the AC because it was not working.

Ein Gastgeber, der sich an seine eigenen Regeln nicht hält. Es liegen Welten zwischen den eingestellten Bildern und der Realität.
Aufgrund der positiven Bewertungen habe ich diese Unterkunft gebucht. Ich glaubte für 90 Euro die Nacht ein schönes helles Doppelzimmer gebucht zu haben (auf den Bildern wurde einem dies so suggeriert). Verfrachtet wurde ich in ein Kellerzimmer mit Terrasse, welcher auch für das Frühstück und alle Gäste vorgesehen ist. D.h. jeder andere Gast konnte bei mir nicht nur reinsehen, sondern im schlimmsten Fall sogar auch reinkommen.
Der Inhaber wollte mir kein anderes Zimmer geben. Die nächste Überraschung folgte prompt. Er setzte mich davon in Kenntnis, dass er starker Raucher sei und jeden Abend/Nacht auf der Terrasse rauchen würde und ob ich ein Problem damit hätte, wenn der Rauch in mein Zimmer zieht. Ich bejahte dies, weil ich Nichtraucherin bin. Dennoch stellte er das Rauchen nicht ein. Teilweise habe ich im Zimmer keine Luft bekommen. Das Nichtraucherschild im Zimmer völlig sinnfrei. Aus Sicherheitsgründen habe ich die Terrassentür meistens geschlossen gehalten. Dies verstärkte bei mir dann noch weiter das Kellerlochgefühl.
Zudem war es nachts sehr laut, durchgehendes nächtliches Poltern und Badezimmergeräusche von oben. Auch der Inhaber selber war laut.
Der Eingang zu meinem Zimmer ging über den Frühstücksraum/"Kaminzimmer"/Büro des Inhabers. Ständiges Klappern und Poltern.
Uanangenehm riechende Handtücher. Frühstück war gut, Eltern nett.
Nice hotel. We’re were met at the gate. Interestingly though, the young man who greeeted is did not offer to help take our bags up the stairs so we had to make 3 trips, but maybe that’s what they do here in Italy.
Anyway other than that it was a comfortable room and we slept well. A bit noisy from other guests moving around in the room above but we were so tired we slept anyway.
Florence is a cool city so we spend most of our time out.
Only real gripe, and it is really more of a country thing, but everyone in Italy smokes where they like, ( especially in restaurants), and consequently, as every 3rd person seems to smoke, everything smells like cigarettes including the hotels, clothes etc.
Other than that it was a nice enough place to sleep for a few days.

Tout bon
Le taulier parle français,vous donne d'excellents conseils,vous prête un guide en français, ! On est â 10 min du centre en taxis à 13 € la course ! Le ptitdej est bien fourni ! On parque la voiture 🚗 pile en face de l'entrée,gratuitement pendant toute la semaine .
This B and B is very nice. A little outside of the main area of Florence. If you want to be directly in the city not the closest but we didn’t have any trouble getting anywhere by bus. The owner is awesome! He helped us figure out the keys many times, made us breakfast when we had to leave ridiculously early, and answered all of our questions. Also the air conditioning worked great! Cooled the room down super quick when we were there in August.
Skønt sted - fredeligt og roligt. Ligger udenfor centrum af Firenze, hvor der er masser af gode lokale barer, restauranter som ikke er turistet. Fin lille gåtur ind til centrum - kan anbefales
I am not sure how this place is so well reviewed. Firstly, it's objectively not comfortable due to toilet/shower noises from other rooms waking you up. The bed is far too soft and we both had bad backs after the first night (we even considered going elsewhere for the second night). The bathroom was not clean according to my girlfriend.
Then there's the service from the owner which is more subjective. To us, when we ask for something simple like a blanket, we don't need a lecture on how we should be using the room. We also shouldn't need to ask twice.
To be fair, the location is decent, a bus is nearby and relatively frequent. The breakfast is good and the terrace outside is nice.
At the end of the day, if you can't sleep in a hotel, what's the point? Would recommend you avoid.
Personnel très sympathique , rien à redire !
L'hôtel n'est pas loin du centre ville et au calme, ce qui est très agréable !
On y reviendra certainement !
El hotel está a 10 minutos del centro caminando pero hay camiones por si se quieren ahorrar la caminada. La zona es muy tranquila y bonita, las habitaciones muy amplias y cómodas con calefacción, el personal es muy agradable, me hicieron sentir como en casa, muy atentos. Todas las instalaciones están muy bien. El desayuno, normal.
