BRIGID B&B, Florence

The B&B sits in a convenient residential area with excellent public transport. Campo di Marte train station is within walking distance, providing a direct 5-minute ride to the city centre. Several bus stops are also nearby for a 15-20 minute trip to central Florence landmarks like Piazza della Signoria, the Duomo, and the Uffizi Gallery. The area is well served by restaurants, bars, and a supermarket. The property is particularly well placed for the Mandela Forum and Stadio Franchi.

Rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped. Each includes a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, a kitchenette with fridge, microwave, toaster, and tea/coffee maker, plus air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. Some rooms feature a balcony and a sofa bed. Windows are well insulated, keeping road noise minimal despite the lively ground-floor pub. The modern décor is consistent with property photos, and the bed is comfortable. The room size and facilities suit longer stays and self-catering needs.

The B&B does not have a restaurant, but the self-service breakfast area is a practical highlight. It includes pastries, bread, fruit, yoghurt, juices, and a selection of hot and cold drinks. Each room has a labelled box in the fridge with a sandwich. The kitchen is accessible 24/7, allowing guests to prepare snacks or reheat leftovers. For evening meals, several restaurants, pizzerias, and a well-stocked Irish pub are located directly below and on nearby streets within a few minutes' walk.
