The hotel is actually a private residence in a decent neighborhood in Florence. Proceeds from room rentals are used to help people with various types of handicaps.
The single room I occupied was fine for a solo traveler, but, be aware that the rooms were not cleaned at all over the 3 nights that I spent there. Also, the hotel is only staffed from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. On my final night at the hotel, I blew a fuse and had no electricity in the room and there was no one available to help so I had to stay in the dark until staff came in the morning.
Hotel staff that I interacted with was extremely friendly and helpful in assisting me with moving around the city.
If you're a budget traveler or only need a room for a night, this would be a good option, but, if you are in Florence for more than a night, I would look for another place to stay.

Dear Bridget,thank you for your review, it is useful for us to clear up some details about our guest-house. The first thing to clear up is exactly the fact that ours is not a hotel, but a guest-house, so we do not have all the services a hotel does. We do not do daily room-keeping unless you ask for it and pay a small extra. If you do not want to pay more, your room will be cleaned after the third night. It is true that the Reception is open only until 8 pm, but after that we have a receptionist on duty with an emergency number that you can call at any time.We are glad to hear that you have had a nice stay in Florence. With best wishes,

We had a great stay at Foresteria Valdese di Firenze - Casa per Ferie. The property grounds were very beautiful and the location was conveniently located. We walked to all the notable destinations in the area. Our room was very clean and the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Would recommend staying here!

It’s a good place for the price. It’s in a safe neighborhood and takes 15 minutes to walk to the SMN train station which is great for us since we used the train and tram to go places. It takes about 10 minutes walk to Ponte Vecchio and maybe 15 minutes to Duomo and Uffizi. Staff is very helpful and nice. There’s no microwave or fridge here though . I’d like to stay here again .

Beautiful historical hotel with great safety. Quiet but still very close to the city center of Florence. The AC in the room was perfect for after naps after walking around all day. Traditional Italian hotel
Clean
Friendly service
Perfect for families
Could not be more happy for a hotel that was not a chain. I would say, it was the perfect place for a taste of Florence.

This was our first hotel upon arrival and it was wonderful! Monica, Ginebra and Anna Lisa were so helpful and fun to talk to. Location is amazing-steps away from Brunelleschi’s Santo Spirito! Removed from the more overstimulating Centro, but close to everything. Place to store your luggage. Spacious courtyard. Try il libro de arte di Dori for stellar fresh pasta family owned.
Just be prepared for a very small bathroom. It’s worth it though.
