Soprarno Suites
Via Maggio 35, Florence, Tuscany 50125, Italy
Why We Like It
Every little design detail has been taken into account at this chic and charming B&B. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, the breakfast hearty, and the rooms remarkably spacious. Mixing design themes from pop-art to Florentine royalty, the hotel is a delight for the eyes. Central locations can be a double-edged sword as nighttime noise and church bells can be a thing – but this authentically cool spot is worth any of those potential pratfalls.
Fodor's Expert Review
Funky, eclectic, and cool, Soprarno Suites is a rusticly-chic bed & breakfast with an ideal location. Just south of the river and a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio and other major attractions, this B&B is a design-lovers dream with a mix of pop art, vintage furniture, and authentic Florentine touches. The warm and friendly staff are there to help at (most) hours of the day, and there is always fresh coffee and snacks for famished touring families.
Tip Your little ones get to stay for free if they’re under six years old.

Room
Each room is individually decorated by the hotel’s design-loving owners and is an Instagram-influencers quintessential space. You’ll find everything from mixes and matches of antique furnishings with pop-art on the walls to east-Asian area rugs and original frescoes on the ceilings. Typically, rooms have polished brick floors, high ceilings, and complimentary amenities like in-room espresso makers.
