This room can get quite noisy in the morning, from 7am to 8 am, because the vendors of the market pass by our street, so we can provide earplugs for you!

IMPORTANT
From January 2024, there will be construction works going on in our building, because we are getting a new rooftop, a new facade and a lift. So, there won't be much sunlight coming in from the windows because of the scaffolding and there can be dust and noise in the building. We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope it will be done soon.

You will get keys to the apartment and to your private bedroom. You can use the kitchen, living area and courtyard whenever you want, but we ask your respect for our other guests and our neighbours.

Fantastic experience
Staying in the Zen room at Strange Uncle B&B was a wonderful experience. The room was clean and nicely decorated. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They offered a wine tour with Alberto who was absolutely delightful! The location was perfect for touring the downtown historical area and cathedral. I will stay again when I go back to Firenze!
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024
