About
Casa Maya Souvenir
Casa Maya Souvenir occupies a historic building on Via Xxvii Aprile, a short walk from the Duomo and the main train station. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with free Wi-Fi and soundproofed windows. The interior is a mix of bohemian and antique touches that sets it apart from chain hotels.
This adults-only property keeps things personal: luggage storage, express check-in/out, and staff who are known for their warm hospitality. Guests often mention the rooftop terrace with its city views, plus the resident dog and cat. A hearty, characterful choice for couples or solo travellers who want to be in the middle of Florence.

3 to weigh- Shared bathrooms are the norm — Some rooms are sold as Double Room Private Bathroom, but others use shared facilities — something to check when booking.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in runs from 14:30 to 19:30. If you arrive later, arrange it in advance — there's no 24-hour reception.
- Parking is a separate charge — Public parking is available nearby but isn't included in the rate; you'll need to pay for it on-site.
