Located just around the corner from Via Faenza, the Il Bargellino is peaceful and off-the-beaten-path. You could sit on the jumbo terrace, gaze into the garden, and enjoy a cup of coffee without ever realizing that you're only five minutes away from Florence's bustling station.
Pino and his Boston-born wife, Carmel, pack antiques into almost every space of their 10-room guesthouse. And we're talking about cool antiques: stained-glass skylights light up the hallway, paintings line the walls, the beds are hundreds of years old, and antique fixtures adorn the bathrooms.
Four of the Il Bargellino's rooms open directly onto the terrace (though everyone has access), while the others overlook the Via Guelfa. The hotel does not serve breakfast, but several cafes are nearby. And although there's no elevator, there are only two floors to deal with: the ground floor and the one above. Parking will cost you €10 per night.
