The Lombardis are wonderful hosts and the rooms are clean, comfortable, well appointed and reasonably priced. The location can't be beat. Two blocks from the Duomo, two blocks from the Accademia and easy walking distance to nearly anything in Florence, this home away from home will not fail to please even the pickiest of travelers.
On our first visit to Florence, we only had reservations for 2 days and decided to stay 4. Every day, Senora Lombardi would move our bags to a new room. On the last night we had two single rooms (for the same price as one double). The bathroom was so tiny that the commode folded up into the wall!
There are also quadruple rooms.
Hotel Casci has a comfortable breakfast room with a very nice buffet breakfast included in the price of your stay. An elaborate espresso machine is Senore Lombardi's pride and joy.
There is also a computer in the lobby for guest use. Very useful for keeping touch with loved ones at home.
