The B&B
Relais & Maison Grand Tour
Your Romantic B&B in Florence Center
The B&B is located on a quiet street in the heart of the historic center of Florence.
Located inside a building dating back to the eighteenth century, each corner tells about a piece of history of its previous life.
All rooms have been beautifully renovated and each have an ensuite bathroom, some open unto a patio, another to a private terrace and all are away from the street & city noise.
In 2018 a Florentine couple sold the property to me, and I was ready to start a beautiful adventure! Happy to have made such a discovery, I decided to move to Florence to manage the B&B full-time.
Your B&B in Florence where you can feel at home
Furnished with authentic antiques, carefully collected over the years, original flooring, and many other curious details make this place a unique and yet familiar spot to call ‘home’ for a few days or more.
Completely renovated, Relais & Maison Grand Tour once used to house a small private theater that represents a most interesting feature of the structure. This space can have a dual function: normally furnished as a complete apartment and accommodating up to 6 people, it can also be used as a space to organize tailor-made events such as intimate ceremonies, conferences, exhibitions, or ad hoc experiences.
On occasion, for a specific event booked in advance, it is possible to reserve the entire structure and give your event the requested exclusivity. The possibilities are endless!
Present when needed
I live on the premises and am available to provide information or suggestions, but above all to take care of our guests and make them feel ”at home away from their home”. The B&B is featured in several travel guides, such as the famous Rick Steves Guide to Italy and Florence, the Guid Du Routard, and the Rough Guide. As many travelers still appreciate the wisdom of these detailed guides, there is also a website with a booking engine to lock in travel dates. Your prices booked directly with us will always be the most competitive.
The location is perfect for those who decide to stay in the magnificent city of Florence to visit the historic center with its artistic beauties such as Michelangelo’s David, the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery and continuing to the Ponte Vecchio you reach Palazzo Pitti, the Boboli Gardens, the panoramic Piazzale Michelangelo and much more.
Come and see us and judge for yourself, what we are talking about! We cannot wait to introduce you to this incredible city, places, and glimpses of Florence that will leave you breathless, the tasty cuisine of Florentine trattorias and open-air taverns, and much more.
Ciao…hoping to see you soon!
The Relais & Maison Grand Tour is located on two floors
The Relais & Maison Grand Tour B&B has two levels and each room has a well-defined identity with an authentic style & atmosphere, furnished by respecting the traces of its previous life such as that of a small private theater, and enriched with all the comforts of a well-remodeled accommodation in the city. Photographs, gold embellishments on the ceilings, traces of frescoes on the walls, antique furniture, mirrors, and paintings tell the story of this place.
There are 6 suites for a total capacity of 20 people plus a space that in addition to being a complete apartment is also a suitable space for organizing a tailor-made event. Here is the arrangement:
- Maison Grand Tour, on the street level, offers romantic suites, with rooms that can accommodate up to three people each and ensuite bathrooms, with doors and windows that open onto a plant-filled patio, away from the noise of the city.
- Relais Grand Tour, one floor up, offers other rooms and large suites that can accommodate families and small groups, consisting of two or more bedrooms, to be used as standard double rooms (1 room only) with a large bathroom or a family suite (2-3 bedrooms). The Theater apartment, which can accommodate up to 7 people, has private access (via a staircase, without a lift) onto a terrace overlooking the rooftops of the city. On this floor, I also have my own personal residence, but in a separate area of the house. I am therefore available for my guests but also ‘invisible’ for those who want to enjoy their privacy.
Each suite is equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning/heating, antique-style furniture, armchairs, and decorative details, and the most important feature is the tranquility that each space offers its guests.
