B&B DOLCE LUNA, Florence

The property sits along the Arno river in a calm residential neighbourhood, away from the tourist bustle. While the historic centre is a 30-minute walk (or a short bus ride), the bus stop for line 14 is just a few minutes from the door, dropping you near the Duomo in about 15 minutes. A 5-minute walk takes you to a supermarket, and several cafés and restaurants are within 0.5 km. The location suits travellers who prioritise quiet, value street parking, and are comfortable using public transport or walking to explore the city.

The accommodation is a series of rooms set over two floors in a secure residential building with lift access. Each room includes a private entrance, a minibar, an electric kettle with tea/coffee, a private bathroom with a bidet, and daily housekeeping. The rooms are noted for being bright, well-maintained, and quiet - ideal for light sleepers. The triple room also includes a private bathroom and a terrace, though no rooms have a balcony. The property does not offer a full breakfast service, but a paid voucher (5 EUR) is available for a nearby café for a pastry and a drink.

There is no restaurant or other food service within the B&B. A paid breakfast voucher (5 EUR) is available for the café within a few minutes' walk, covering a pastry and a hot drink - a light option. For larger meals or a fuller breakfast, several restaurants, a café, and a gelateria are within 0.5 km. A supermarket is a 5-minute walk away, and a common kitchen area (with microwave and fridge) is available for preparing simple meals.

On-site leisure facilities are absent; relaxation focuses on enjoying the quiet residential surroundings and the small terrace. The neighbourhood is ideal for walks along the Arno river, and the city centre's attractions are easily reachable by bus or on foot.

Services include a luggage storage (available for an extra charge), a public transport ticket service (extra charge), and a fax/photocopying service (extra charge). Safety features include CCTV in common areas and outside, smoke alarms, security alarm, and key access. The building has a lift. Pets are not allowed.
