My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at Il Bargellino this past May. Carmel's thorough and informative emails in advance of our stay were a big help in planning our time in Florence, especially since she offered to make reservations for us at various sites before our arrival. The hotel is a perfectly doable walk from the train... more

Reading the other reviews, I noticed some guests had rather negative remarks. My wife and I did not experience any of this. The directions Carmel gave us were very clear and we were at the hotel about five minutes after exiting the train station on foot. One guest, who seemed a bit upset, said the directions led him to a... more

This review is about a year late but the memories of this great little hotel is still very fresh in my memory due to the wonderful time we had there. Hotel Il Bargellino is located close to Florence's main train station, its Duomo, Accademia, Palazzo Medici and other sites. It's perfectly situated location made the our visit to Florence all... more

My husband and I have just recently returned from a month long tour of Europe. Our last stop was Florence - which we spent six days and six nights. Pinot and Carmel made us feel welcome and allowed our group - there were 19 of us - to have nightly gatherings on the Terrace. The room my husband and I... more

The hosts, Carmel and Pino, were very friendly. Our room was on the terrace-side of the hotel, so we did not have the... more

The hotel is quaint with a lovely terrace and nice hosts, but seemed as if this place was more geared towards americans, with some surprise at guests that are not americans (i.e. us). This is probably due to the american wife of the owner couple. Unfortunately this made the hotel seem less diverse, whereas Florence is very diverse!! The rooms... more

My husband & I stayed at Il Bargellino this past April. This a lovely hotel situated conveniently near the train station. Carmel and Pino are wonderful hosts. The hotel was clean, decorated authentically, and within walking distance to everything. more

El Bargellino was a small, pleasant typically old time European hotel but it was noisy both inside and out. The street noise, nearly all night, was incredible and the sounds on the inside carried to all the rooms. Pino and Carmel need to replace the windows with some sound deadening ones so their guests can get some sleep and they... more
