Casa Howard truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Firstly, the convenient location made exploring the city a breeze. Easy walk to the Uffizi and Duomo! The hotel's beautiful decor created a charming ambiance, and the unique room designs added a touch of character. We ended up upgrading our room halfway thru our weeklong stay to try out another room with a tub. However, what truly stood out was the incredibly helpful staff, who went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout my visit. I highly recommend Casa Howard to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay in Florence.

Very convenient to train station. Bed was hard and uncomfortable although decor was beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and arrived very timely. Staff was not very welcoming and tried to charge us a late fee although arrived before 10pm.

We stayed 4 nights at Casa Howard. The property is conveniently located in the heart of the historic center with easy walking access to all the main attractions. We stayed in the camel room and it was fairly spacious. Our main concerns was that we had a leaking AC unit that was not fixed and so we had to lay a towel on the ground to soak up the water everyday. It also made a loud dripping sound that echoed in the room at night making it difficult for any light sleeper. It is also very loud in the morning due to breakfast service, so if you like to sleep in you’ll be woken up at 8-9am everyday. We didn’t try any of the food on their in-house menu but it looked good. Overall, the location was the best part of the stay and I would check out other neighbouring options before rebooking here. It is also worth noting that none of the rooms have a safe, so if you have valuables that you’d prefer to store in a safe while you’re gone that won’t be possible. If you have a car, parking is offsite but very close by (3 min walk).

Booked this last minute from a flight cancellation. The staff was great and very accomodating with recommendations and stowing our luggage long after check-out. The room itself was so-so: had a smell, air conditioner made the room humid, no hand towells, and missing outlets left open for some reason. Rated a 4 star online, but in Italy all 4's are really 3's. All-in-all, it served it's purpose and was close to the train station. ✌️

Beautiful and unique boutique guest house, run by a family. Absolutely wow bedroom - the "drawing room" - one of the suites. Only niggle is that this is a first floor room overlooking the main street, above the entrance to the property and beside the reception area - so it does get quite a bit of disturbance, esp if other guests are not quiet as they come and go. Cannot be helped. But still blown away by the room. Attention to detail and artistic flair throughout Case Howard. Lovely breakfast. Staff very helpful. Delicious supper club style dinner by arrangement with the owner - who is the chef! Loved it! Would recommend.

Christy, bent over backwards to reserve tickets for museums in Florence prior to our arrival. Looked into an opera, La Traviata which was showing in Florence whilst we there and sent us the link to enable us to book tickets. Nothing was too much trouble. The Fireplaces suite room was quirky but beautifully decorated, it was light and airy and spacious and tea & coffee facilities were available in the room. The bathroom was beautiful too. Casa Howard was conveniently located, close to Unica Tram Stop which is at the end of the line - 10 mins walk max and takes you within steps of the airport entrance for a mere Euros 1.50. As for Florence, it is simply like stepping into a museum - amazing.

Great location, minutes walk from the train station. Breakfast was taken to the room which was really nice. All the rooms have different configurations and they were able to accommodate us in a room with a stand-up shower and not all rooms have one. The staff are very helpful and nice.
