About
Live Florence Guest House
Live Florence Guest House sits on Via Camillo Cavour, a quiet residential street in the heart of Florence.

The guest house offers a lift and an ATM on site, along with a range of practical amenities.
Rooms are straightforward but comfortable, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. Some rooms add a balcony and city views, and the King Room includes a balcony overlooking the street.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited on-site staffing — With no 24-hour front desk, guests may need to arrange check-in remotely and won't find staff on hand for immediate requests like extra toiletries or an ironing board.
- Potential street noise — Some guests mention noise from outside, particularly in the early morning, which could be a concern for light sleepers despite soundproofed rooms.
- Small window for check-in — Standard check-in is strictly between 14:00 and 17:30, and checkout is between 10:00 and 11:00, which may not suit all travel plans.
- No on-site parking — Parking is not listed as an amenity, and given the central location, guests driving into Florence will likely need to arrange public parking nearby.
