About
Guest House Biffi Simone
Guest House Biffi Simone sits on Via Martiri Del Popolo, a quiet street within easy reach of Florence's main sights. The Duomo is a short walk away, and Santa Maria Novella station is close enough to reach on foot, making it a practical base for exploring the city or catching a train.
The property is a small guest house rather than a full-service hotel, so expect a more personal, low-key experience. Rooms are modern and clean, each with a private bathroom, and some offer city views. There's a lift, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi throughout, along with a communal kitchenette for guests who want to prepare their own meals.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 17:00, which means you'll need to time your arrival carefully or make prior arrangements.
- Limited room selection — Only two room types are offered – a single and a double – so larger groups or families may find the options restrictive.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property isn't suitable – the policy explicitly bans pets.
- No on-site parking — There's no parking mentioned, so if you arrive by car you'll need to find public parking nearby, which can be tricky in central Florence.
