About

B&B Dolce Luna

B&B Dolce Luna sits on Via Della Bellariva, along the Arno river, in a quiet pocket of Florence. It's a straightforward, well-kept base: guests rate the rooms at 9.7 and the service at 9.4, with a 10 for a category the property doesn't specify—likely the breakfast or overall atmosphere. The B&B keeps things simple—no pets, no smoking, but free Wi-Fi throughout and on-site parking for EUR 10 per day, something not every Florence property can offer.

The location is the draw: a direct bus ride to the historic center, with the riverbank right there for a walk into town. Rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, with mini-bars, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs. The staff gets high marks for helpfulness, often going beyond the basics—offering breakfast coupons and local recommendations. It's not a luxury hotel, but for a clean, comfortable stay with easy access and a personal touch, it's hard to beat the value at this price point.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • High guest ratings across the board — Rooms score 9.7, service 9.4, and value 9.3—well above the Florence average of 8.6.
  • Quiet riverside location with easy transit — Situated along the Arno, close to a bus stop, and walkable to the historic center—guests repeatedly mention this as a highlight.
  • Attentive, personal service — Guests praise the friendly owner and staff for recommendations, transport help, and breakfast coupons.
  • On-site private parking for EUR 10/day — A rare convenience in Florence, where parking is often scarce and expensive.
  • Clean, spacious, well-equipped rooms — Rooms come with air conditioning, soundproofing, mini-bars, tea/coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs—all rated highly.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Check-in only until 19:00 — If you're arriving later, you'll need to arrange something with the property—there's no 24-hour front desk.
  • Breakfast is good but not lavish — Guests enjoy it, though it's a B&B-style spread rather than a full hotel buffet—some may want more variety.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place—pets are not permitted.
  • Slightly out of the historic center — You'll need a bus ride or a longer walk to reach the main sights—about a 10-minute ride to Giotto's Campanile, per the description.
  • Category 8 ratings at 8.5 — One unspecified category scores lower than the rest—likely the location or breakfast—so expectations should be adjusted.
