Michelin Guide "Simple yet elegant... It has a magical, fairy tale atmosphere."
Frommer's "With its echoey halls, airy loggias, and imposing stone staircases, the Bellosguardo feels just a few flickering torches shy of the Middle Ages -- exactly its attraction." Full review
Fodor's "Bellosguardo means "beautiful view"; given the view of Florence you get here, the name is fitting." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Situated atop the hill of Bellosguardo, this distinctive hotel is housed in a Renaissance-era villa built around a 14th-century tower." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Far from the crowds, but with the city at its feet, the views from the 16th-century tower of this 14th-century villa are unparalleled."
Rough Guide "Its not central - its perched on a hill about 2km from the heart of Oltrarno - but the four-star Bellosguardo is one of the most beautiful hotels in the city."

Frommer's "Quirky, midsize, individual rooms in this palazzo turned chic, contemporary guesthouse come with stylized themes." Full review
Concierge "Casa Howard... invented the luxury Italian guesthouse... this discreet home-away-from-home exports that winning formula to Florence, offering high standards of comfort and service at great rates."
Lonely Planet "With six rooms, this is a delicious retreat near the train station."
Travel + Leisure "This affordable guesthouse... features 13 themed accommodations in a prime location near Santa Maria Novella church." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The individual, characterful rooms combine original features with modern furnishings."
Fodor's "This unassuming little inn has no two rooms alike, and an aura of eclectic funk pervades: one room takes its inspiration from Japan; others are geared to families." Full review
Afar Magazine "A guesthouse to its core, Casa Howard continues this Florentine tradition; there is neither lobby nor restaurant, and the husband-and-wife owners live in their own apartment here while in town." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A stay at Casa Howard feels a bit like being the house guest of a rather eccentric but very stylish friend who has gone on holiday." Full review
