Linda Nichols
★★★★★a month agoWe absolutely loved our stay at Secret Garden Firenze. The hosts were wonderful, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The location was excellent — very walkable and convenient for exploring Florence. Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and it truly felt like a relaxing place to come back to after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast was delicious and had a lot of great options. The water and snacks in the kitchen were also such a thoughtful and useful touch. This was my favorite place we stayed during our trip in Italy, and I would happily stay here again. Highly recommend!

★★★★★4 months agoWe had an amazing time. Secret Garden is like nowhere else - it offers a wonderful experience - an oasis of tranquillity. The staff are lovely and super helpful and had answers to all my questions. Breakfast was delicious and plenty was on offer. Even though it is in the heart of Florence, it was very quiet at Secret Garden and we slept perfectly. Fantastic. Highly recommended. 5 stars easily!!!
