About
Casa Di Barbano
Casa Di Barbano is a small bed and breakfast set in a quiet corner of Florence, just a five-minute walk from the lively Mercato Centrale. With only nine rooms, the atmosphere feels personal, and the building's vintage decor — think books, musical instruments, and parquet floors — gives it a homey, lived-in character.
Breakfast is a highlight here, served in a shared dining area or out on the patio when the weather cooperates. The property includes a garden with outdoor furniture, a shared kitchen for guests who want to prepare their own meals, and amenities like air conditioning and flat-screen TVs in the rooms.

Worth weighing

- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this isn't the place — the policy explicitly prohibits pets on site.
- Small property, limited on-site facilities — Casa Di Barbano is a B&B with only nine rooms, so there's no restaurant, spa, or gym. Facilities are limited to a shared kitchen, garden, and picnic area.
