The host was really friendly and provided a lovely breakfast. The garden is so beautiful and peaceful next to the river. We ended up staying in the garden all day as it was so lovely!

Claudio was a wonderful host! He invited us to a festival in town and was very accommodating. The B&B is very stunning, we loved the very special room in the tower that we stayed in. We could use the bikes to ride to the city. Also the breakfast was very delicious and had a great variety. Would definitely recommend staying there!

It was beautiful by the river and had such a homely feel. Our host was so helpful in local advice regarding Firenze which was very easy to access from the B&B. All this with an exceptional breakfast.

Wifi was patchy & reception wasn't much better. It made planning our day a little difficult.

This B&B is enchanting, the room we had was beautiful. It was clean & towels were provided. We had a great view of the river & could hear the water rushing by. There are sockets by the bed. There were enough clothes hangers & hooks for clothes & coats. Bathroom was large enough & shower had good water pressure. Breakfast consisted of sweet pastries, bread & various jams, cereal, eggs, meats & cheese etc. There is a bus stop about 6 mins walk from the B&B that takes you to the centre of Florence in 30 mins. It's a little out of the way, but the experience of this B&B is worth it. Claudio was responsive over text & welcoming in-person. We enjoyed our time there & wish we could've stayed for longer.

We had to leave.....

Loved this place. Breakfast was excellent....almost a highlight. Great location, lovely little town, Claudio, the owner, was very helpful and lovely to chat to. Met some lovely people there from USA and Ireland. Would have liked to stay longer.

This is amazing place! You are really need to come here. The host is best one we met in our long jorney. The room is like from fairytale and very romantic, but with all modern facilities: for ex. airconditioning. To spend sometime with your partner there is the best idea. The bathroom is very clean and you will find all, that you need. The breakfast is amazing and every time is different. To go to Flirence will take 15 minutes with bus. To go to bus 3 min. It is really the best place to stay in Florence!:)

We really enjoyed our stay, but felt there were a few shortcomings, most of them easily fixable. The bath room was private, but didn't have an outside window, and felt pretty hot/damp. Also, the water in the pool was a bit mirky, so perhaps refresh that? The bikes were very handy, but most of them really could do with some maintenance.

First off, the location is wonderful. Situated at the end of a one-way street, La Martellina has a kind of quiet oasis vibe. It's right next to the river, which is lovely (although that means it naturally comes with mosquitoes). And in that garden you'll find Daisy, the dog of the house, who we also loved. Our room was clean, and uniquely set in the tower of the house with a magnificent large window overviewing the river Arno. We really enjoyed the breakfast! There was too much to even begin to try everything, and there were different homemade pies and quiches, all wonderful. It was served by Olivia, who was very friendly, and a perfect host. The pool in the garden was not the largest, but perfect to cool down during a hot day. Another feature we enjoyed was the bikes that are available there. That way, we could cycle to the centre of Florence (8km, 30 minutes), which we much preferred to taking the bus. Taking your car into Florence is a virtual impossibility, so don't try that.

We didn't have enough time in the property to actually sit and relax, as we were exploring the city... If you look for a place to enjoy nature, write a book and relax - this is the place!

My daughter and I loved to stay at La Martellina. Location very close to Florence, easy to take the bus to the city, takes around 20 minutes. The place has wonderful breakfast and many beautiful nature spots, with good atmosphere, where you can relax and enjoy the river view. Exceptional hospitality of Claudio, the owner. He is generous, kind, funny and interesting person who knows the history of Italy. I forgot to mention in the booking that my daughter eats gluten free food, as soon as he heard about it, he went to the store and got a variety of tasty food for her, we really appreciate it. The room located in the tower from 1100 has a unique atmosphere. Great to leave the window open, to hear the water from the river. Because it is an old historic tower, the access to the room has spiral stairs. stairs are good but it is narrow, so recommend to bring trolley and not large suitcases.
