Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 19:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals; there's no mention of after-hours check-in options.
- Distance from the historic center — The B&B is in the Gavinana-Rovezzano district, a bus ride from main sights; the Boboli Gardens are a 15-minute drive away.
- Limited room types — Only one room type is listed — a private bathroom double room — so options are limited for families or groups.
- Parking may be off-site — While parking is available, one review mentions an 'off-site car park,' so you may need to walk a short distance from your car.
