 | Simple, clean, comfortable and staff was so helpful. Called cab for our pick up on our last day and cab arrived in 2 minutes. We were even given our brioche in a take away bag since we left before breakfast. Close to train station and many other places we wanted to see. Will be back as our son and his family live about 2-3 blocks away so perfect location to him. |
 | Cross-pollinate has always been efficient and helpful. Love this website!! |
| The ambiance and decor is very nice and very charming.. Very conveniently located and reasonably priced. The owner is very very helpful and has good suggestions. |
 | No eggs included in the breakfast. |
| We had a really wonderful time at Casa di Barbano. From the warm, friendly, hospitable staff who to the interior design and friendly presence of oddities (such as sweets, and a cat or two in the garden!) Lovely breakfast given too. Not so far from the centre either. Will definitely be booking into Casa di Barbano next time I am in Florence. |
| We liked everything about this B&B! The owner Moraq was very helpful and lovely, and the location for us was great for the main train station and great food. Beds were comfortable, and the room had plenty of storage for our belongings. Breakfast was nice and we really appreciated that she made us Italian perculated coffee. |
| Maybe the selection of breakfast could be more? We don't normally eat pastries for breakfast so a more savoury option would have been nice. |
| Easy and reliable. |
| Great location, beautiful and clean accommodation, friendly and very helpful owner. |
| It was super easy and hassle-free. I will definitely use Cross-Pollinate in the future, and will recommend it to my friends. |
| Nice and cosy room, Breakfast in room each morning at time you request. Close to train station. Close to many amenities such as laundry, market, restaurants. Also close to bus line but we did not take the bus. |
| The room was pretty small. Smaller than we had expected. There was barely any room to place our luggage and we only had 2 carry on roller bags. The room could use an additional table or desk. |
| It was a fairly seamless transaction. We didn't have any problems with cross pollinate or the owner. The owner was on vacation and we did not see her. We dealt with a friend of the owner who knew what was going on for the most part. |
| Moroq was welcoming, helpful and provides a lovely room and a delicious breakfast. I highly recommend Casa Di Barbano. |
| As in the other places we stayed in Italy, there is a lack of towel racks for some reason. I understand that the towel warmer is used but it really is not the same. Hardly a criticism. |
| I feel the confidence we had in booking the rooms we had in Italy thru Cross-Pollinate was not misplaced. It was reassuring that Cross-Pollinate would be there should a problem arise. Apparently Cross-Pollinate does a very good job of screening. Thanks so much ! |
| Moraq is very helpful and friendly, she even booked museum tickets for us and offered great restaurant recommendations. The breakfast was good and hot but light. The room was very clean and nice and quiet at night. We were also just a few minutes walk from the Accademia, the Mercato Centrale and leather market. Great location! |
| Please provide an iron for your guests. Softer towels would be nice too. |
| This b&b was wonderful in every way - a gracious hostess, beautiful and spacious rooms with plenty of light, and a decent light-fare breakfast (small pastries and GOOD coffee - yes, I couldn't find "american" coffee until I arrived here...) The location of the B&B was very good, only a few minutes walk to everything we wanted to see in Florence. Me and my wife also felt very safe and comfortable walking around the area at night - there were families in the near-by piazza at night with the kids playing freely (made us lament how this didn't happen in American cities). Maroq was incredibly helpful and her stories of life in Italy were extremely captivating. -Andrew and Kim Hobby |
| Excellent - this service made our honeymoon a wonderful trip and I recommend it to anyone I come across who is traveling abroad. |
| The owner was wonderful and friendly. Room was comfortable. |
| I have used Cross-Pollinate for a couple of stays and I have been very pleased with the selection and them as a resource. |
