RELAIS TIFFANY, Florence

The property is set just outside the most tourist-crowded core, making it quieter while still walkable: 10 minutes to the train station and 15 minutes to the historic centre. The tram stop Rosselli is 100 metres away, giving direct access to the airport and to central Florence. Nearby streets offer a range of Indian, Italian and kebab eateries, and the Fortezza da Basso congress centre is within 5 minutes on foot. Parking is available off-site for €30 per day, but the location is best suited to guests arriving by train, tram, or on foot.

Two room types are available: twin/double rooms and triple rooms, all with king beds, a private bathroom featuring a shower and bidet, air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe, and a safe. Two rooms face the garden (quieter, with direct garden access) and two face the street (still relatively quiet with windows closed). Rooms are noted as spacious, impeccably clean and decorated with authentic local charm. No rooms have a balcony. All accommodation is on the ground floor, with no lift - accessibility is limited as there are no steps at the entrance.

A small dining room and courtyard are available 24 hours a day, stocked with a capsule coffee machine, an electric kettle for tea, biscuits, individually packaged crackers, marmalade and Nutella. This is intended as a light snack and drink option rather than a full meal. There are numerous bars, cafés and restaurants within a 5-minute walk, offering Indian, Italian, Turkish and sushi options. The property has no cooked or hot breakfast offering, so travellers wanting a substantial morning meal should plan to eat out.

The garden features fruit trees, a patio with tables and chairs, and is home to a few friendly cats. It provides a calm outdoor spot for reading, relaxing with a drink, or enjoying a quiet moment away from the city bustle. There is no spa, wellness centre or swimming pool. Guests seeking wellness facilities will need to use city-centre offerings a short walk or tram ride away.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Luggage storage is available free of charge from 9:00; for earlier drop-off, lockers near the train station can be used. Daily housekeeping is provided at no extra cost. A laundry service is available 250 metres from the property. The reception is not staffed 24/7, but the hosts - known for being proactive and communicative - provide a smooth check-in process, often via WhatsApp outside of posted hours. Parking is at a nearby private lot for €30 per day, no reservation needed. The property does not offer an airport shuttle. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Maestro, CartaSi and MasterCard.
