although this was one of the more expensive places we stayed during our travels in Italy, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Panella's. The Owner, Graziella, is a total character, very helpful (making phone calls on our behalf in Italian) and a wonderful hostess all around -- morning breakfast was excellent (homemade cakes and breads!!) in the cozy cellar. B+B... more

I had the priviledge of staying at Panella's Residence the end of January 2008. From the moment I arrived to moment I departed I felt a truly welcome guest. I was greated upon arriving by Graziella. What a loving hostess. She welcomed me in and escorted me to my room on the second floor. It was beautiful. The room was... more

We recently came back from Florence where we stayed 3 nights at the Panella's Residence. Although you cannot tell from the outside, we were pleasantly surprised of the warmth, beautiful décor and of the size of our bedroom. The room was 2 flights up but that was offset by the comfort and how quiet it was. The residence is very... more

There cannot be a better Bed & breakfast in Florence! Panella's Residence is just superb. The Suite we were given was delightful and so spacious with a bathroom to die for! ( Warner Brothers did a bathroom scene in it the day before we arrived - it's fantastic) The situation is a few minutes from fabulous Duomo, but is quiet... more

My husband and I loved our 3 night stay (Oct 23th, 24th, and 25th) at Panella's Residence in Florence, Italy. Panella's Residence is located on a very quiet street, but surprisingly it's in the heart of Florence. Our room number was 44 and it was very large. The size of the bathroom was huge (see pictures), even by American standards.... more

With so much to choose from, looking for accommodation in Florence can be a daunting experience. My husband and I recently stayed at the excellent Panella's residence. Once a convent, it is centrally located, just a few doors away from the Theatro Pergola and 5mins walking distance from the Duomo and central Florence. Each room is unique in character. We... more

We have recently stayed at MSN Suites Panella and whilst I agree with some of the comments made by other visitors, my husband and I didn't have such a good experience. We were in room 42, a room with no window, just a door leading on to a narrow passage way with pipes and a ladder. Breakfast was adequate but... more

My mother, my sisters and I spent three nights at Panella's Residence in late-September, and I can not speak highly enough of the rooms, the location, and the warm and welcoming service provide by Graziella. The B&B is located on a quiet street within easy walking distance of all of Florence's highlights, and Graziella gave us very thorough directions (with... more

We booked Panella's Residence based on reviews on Venere.com and our expectations were more than exceeded. The location is central Florence and with a good map it is easy to find. Only a 10-15 min. walk from the train station and 5 min. from both the Duomo and the Accademia, on a quiet side street. We were warmly greeted by... more
