Our hosts at Panella's Residence, Graziella and Giuseppewere are awesome. We had a wonderful time with them, talking about all sorts of things, they are very friendly and helpful. The residence has an interesting history, and has character. The location is very close to to the Duomo, and is easy to get to. The room was nice and big, and had air conditioning, which was nice after a hot day out. There are stairs to navigate, but that is a fact of life in many places in Europe. Breakfast was very good, with a good selection of foods presented by Graziella and Giuseppe. Loved our time here, no complaints, will stay here again when next in Florence.

Panella's is an old convent not far from the SMN train station in Florence. Rooms are big. Breakfast is wonderful. Mrs. Panella is very kind and helpful. It's a historic building and by law they can't modernize it. We loved it but not everyone appreciates old character. Three small issues. A/C doesn't work well (this is an issue all over Europe). Cooled the room but not by as much as most Americans would like. It was about 78 F at best. WiFi dropped constantly---which is an issue also in these old buildings with thick stone walls, not sure much can be done about it. Lastly, the room was up about 40 ancient steep stairs. I have a bad knee and bad balance and this about did me in. I blame Rick Steves for not putting this in the guide! If you're fit, this is no issue...but if stairs are a problem, this might not be the place for you. Otherwise a charming, delicious, good value!

O quarto que ficamos é muito amplo. Café da manhã muito bom e ótima localização, dá pra ir aos principais pontos turísticos á pé. Sem falar na simpatia da dona do hotel, que nos trata super bem e dá ótimas dicas. Recomendo muito!!!

We loved staying at Panella’s. Graziella and her husband were so gracious. The building is totally gorgeous as was our room. It was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was basic but good. Good coffee. Good croissants. We could walk everywhere but room was very quiet. Comfortable beds. Only minor problem was the Wi-fi which was not stable. Not a big issue for us. Grazie Graziella!

We had a great stay once again as this was on our 2nd time at Panella’s residence. Great room, nice breakfast and great hosts. Located right behind the Duomo so walking distance to everything. Graziella is a lovely host and will recommend restaurants, help with tickets, taxi’s to the airport, etc. You’ll enjoy your Stay!

Check-in at Panella's was excellent. Graziella was kind enough to detail on a map of Florence all the relevant places to see, as well as recommended good restaurants and even made reservations for us. Our overall stay was excellent. The place was clean and very convenient. And the breakfast provided by her husband was just right and in a quiet setting.

The Panellas take great care of you at their B&B! They helped with restaurant recommendations, directions to various locations, and ordering the taxi to the train station.

Panella's is a very nice place to stay. It is on a quiet street but very close to the Duomo, great shopping, and restaurants. The owner is very accommodating and provided us with maps and routes to walk to all that we wanted to see. We walked from the train station which took about 15 minutes. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Very nice bed and breakfast. Owners are very sweet - you feel welcome and like a guest in their home. Delicious homemade cake/pastry, fresh juice, coffee, etc. in morning. Owners very helpful with directions to tourist destinations, restaurants, etc. Hotel is easy walking distance to main Florence destinations (Duomo, Academia, Ufizzi, etc.) Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. Rooms have mini fridge with water, sodas and beer. Rooms also have air conditioning If you need anything, just ask and they can help you. Great value!! I would most definitely recommend!

Fabulous place to stay! My husband and I spent a couple weeks touring in Italy and by far our favorite place to stay was Panella's Residence. The accommodations were beautiful and charming, as well as Panella's owner Graziella. Graziella was extremely helpful in booking tours and finding local restaurants that were not too touristy and had great, authentic Italian cuisine. The residence itself was wonderful with large rooms and lots of character. If you're in Florence, this is a must-stay place.

Panella's was a great find! It is in a very central location and walkable to just about everything in Florence. Graziella is so gracious and responsive. By the time we left, she felt like family. We had a room to accommodate three adults and breakfast is included at a slightly increased cost. Panella's is a 200 year old former convent. There is something special about staying in an old structure like this. Highly recommended!
