Hey from Fernanda

Member since June 2008 | 101,976 hits

Hi, I'm Fernanda De Simine. Roman, married for several years to a true Florentine, vegetarian for ethics, I have 2 children, 5 beautiful grandchildren, 2 adorable dogs. In addition, in the country house of the summer holidays, in Mugello, the land of the Medici, several pets also live with us. I love art so much that I obtained the Tourist Guide license in 2018 and I hope to excite you as it happens to me every day, thinking about what the walls and stones that surround us tell us.

Since 2004 I have enthusiastically opened a part of my small house in the historic center of the world, where I lived before getting married. The 4 paws are welcome if accompanied by polite owners.

My home becomes yours and if you leave you have a little nostalgia, want to return and need to recommend my B&B to your friends and relatives, I will have achieved the goal. I look forward to seeing you.

I would highly recommend this B&B. Very nice and hospitable host - she would tell you all the great places to visit and things to do in Florence. The location is prime, right in the center of Florence. The place is very clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Staying here was such a joy. Fernanda was an absolutely incredible host, she took the time to greet us with snacks and highlight all of her recommendations on maps when we first arrived and walked us through everything. We ended up asking her for recommendations multiple times a day because everywhere she sent us was absolutely incredible. She was super communicative and always got back to us very quickly, she really went above and beyond as a host. If she recommends a restaurant, you HAVE to eat there. Thanks to her, we had some of the best and most authentic meals we’ve had in Italy. Every location she sent us to was incredible and not to be missed. The apartment was incredible, it was super comfortable and clean with a stunning location, we ended up walking pretty much everywhere because we were that close, plus proximity to the train station. The street was quiet enough to sleep at night and we felt really safe there. It was a home away from home, more than any hotel room could have been. We did not want to leave and will absolutely stay here again if we ever pass through. Thank you Fernanda!

Our family of seven loved our stay here. It was just a few minutes from the train station and easily walkable to all the sites in Florence. Fernanda met us personally at check-in, oriented us to the apartments, and gave us her best tips for visiting Florence. She provided some lovely treats in the fridge, and she also arranged a sunset riverboat tour! We would stay here again.

stayed from 07/13/2023 to 07/16/2023

The answer from the host:
Thank you Mr Russell. It was a pleasure to host your beautiful and big family. Thank you also for enjoying the sunset river tour, which is really an interesting way to get to know Florence. I publicly thank you for having left the houses very tidy, a sign of respect and civility. Cordially. Fernanda

michelle

This place was amazing, to say the very least! Located approximately a 10-minute walk from the local train station, this property was clean, organized, and had a super cute design layout. This property offers everything you could want in a vacation rental to make it feel like home. Fernanda was an absolutely wonderful host! She was so nice and helpful in helping us navigate the city and recommending local attractions we should visit. She was also very communicative and always quickly responded to any questions or requests that we had. If we were to visit Florence in the future, we would definitely try and stay here again. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the written review, Mrs. Michelle Estes, which I appreciated with pleasure. I'm not clear, instead the votes 9. And above all the 7 for the breakfast which is NOT included.

Signor Daniel, nonostante le sue gentili parole, i voti non lo sono altrettanto. Eppure ospitarla è stato davvero impegnativo. Considerando che è passato diverso tempo dal suo soggiorno, forse i commenti non sono relativi ai Tre Gigli. Oppure non si può piacere a tutti. Fernanda

Fernanda's place was a lovely home base for a too short 2-night trip I made to Florence. It was a ten-minute walk to/from the train station, and situated within a 15-minute walk from everything I wanted to do in the city. Although there is not an official breakfast, Fernanda does provide some tea and coffee for you to make as you wish, small cakes, and yogurt for you to consume as either a light breakfast or a snack during the day. It was a very cozy place and a great value for everything it has to offer. Fernanda herself was also a communicative, kind, and helpful host. A really terrific overall stay.

stayed from 01/02/2023 to 01/04/2023

The answer from the host:
Thank you very much, Mrs. Melisa, for the excellent evaluation and the details, certainly useful to the reader. I am pleased to thank you for the way you left neat and clean, I wish you a happy new year and lots of luck. Fernanda

B&B Tre Gigli is a hidden gem in Florence. Fernanda, our host, is SUPER accommodating. We were supposed to meet her at the place but she even went out to look for us when we were just minutes behind, making it easier for us to find the place. Right from the get-go, she started giving us tips and info around the area. When we arrived at the place, she offered drinks and snacks and a little tour of the place. She had everything already set up, even a map of Florence with all the details we wanted to see, should see, and free things to do while we were here. The actual place is very homey and cozy. We chose the big room since it has 2 beds. She warned us that it can get noisy since it's right by the street side and there are a couple of restaurants around. But honestly, you can only hear the crowds when you leave the windows open, but closed it's tolerable. The bathroom is a bit tight but it's clean and does the job. There's also a fully equipped cute kitchen you can use. Overall, Fernanda's hospitality is the highlight of our stay at B&B Tre Gigli, her genuine personality really shines. Would highly recommend 10/10.

stayed from 10/03/2022 to 10/06/2022

The answer from the host:
Danke an Michael für die wertvolle, vollständige, detaillierte und maximale Bewertung. Wenn der Gastgeber auch eine Bewertung abgeben könnte, erwidern Sie dies mit einer netten 10, denn Michael und sein Freund waren entzückend, höflich, respektvoll und pünktlich. Vielen Dank! Gutes Leben für dich, Fernanda

ana

Our stay at the B&B Tre Gigli was extremely pleasant, the apartment is very cozy and clean, equipped with everything you might need. It is located 5 minutes from the train station Firenze Santa Maria Novella and about 10 minutes from the Florence Cathedral. Fernanda was very helpful, advising us on places to visit and giving us lots of information on public transport, restaurants and good bakeries in the neighborhood. She also updated us regularly on any events or things we might be interested in. We are very happy with our experience and Fernanda was a wonderful host.

Perfect temporary home in the center of Florence! The apartment was very spacious and charming to have to ourselves and Fernanda was an amazing host. She offered to arrange reservations for us and gave us an overview of the city when we arrived. Highly recommend the Chianti Wine Tour that picks up right around the corner for a great day trip out of the city.

Thanks for the truthful feedback, nice Grace. Being a tour guide, you can also take a walking tour in the historic center, a guided tour of the Uffizi, the Accademia Gallery, Palazzo Pitti, at excellent prices. It is also possible to take half-day guided tours around Florence. Fernanda.

After staying two nights at this bed and breakfast, I can say with certainty that I had a really good time. There are several positive aspects of this property, such as the availability and kindness of Mrs. Fernanda, who also provided us with a map explaining in detail how to reach the city's most important monuments and museums. At the same time, the cleanliness of the room and the proximity to both the station and the center were crucial. Overall, I think it is really convenient for anyone who wants to visit all of Florence while still having a reference point to return to.

Felice di avervi emozionato! Leggere che riuscivo a seguirvi a distanza, mi ha fatto sorridere e pensare allo spot B&B.it in cui la signora raccomanda ai giovani ospiti "questo e quello". Grazie per il buon punteggio. Spero di capire come migliorarlo nelle voci rapporto qualità prezzo/posizione/struttura, perché non se ne è parlato. Anzi colgo l'occasione per chiedere ai futuri ospiti di suggerirmi le migliorie da apportare, secondo loro. Al piacere di riospitarvi, auguro felice e duraturo amore. Fernanda e lo staff.

Excellent hospitality and a lot of courtesy. Extreme care in the furniture and cleaning of the premises. Comfortable rooms, rich and varied breakfast to meet every need.

Positive experience. Fernanda was welcoming and made the short stay very comfortable! She proved to be very helpful and prompt in meeting every need or request. The stairs were a bit tiring, but overall the location is strategic, very convenient for any destination. The trattoria Il Contadino right next to the door deserves a perfect score!

The answer from the host:
Premesso che le valutazioni dipendono anche dalla sensibilità personale, sono rimasta perplessa dalla vostra, signori Katia e Massimo. # 6 sulla voce PULIZIA (il mio pallino), # 8 sulla voce GESTORE (mia assistenza completa e gratuita, con il valore aggiunto di Guida Turistica quale sono, dal primo giorno di richiesta informazioni, all'ultimo del soggiorno), # 5 sulla voce COLAZIONE, che può essere fatta a scelta: Self service a casa con latte, caffè, vari tipi di tè, banane, succhi di diversi gusti, brioche varie, yogurt bianco e alla frutta, burro, marmellata, biscotti, acqua potabile, sempre a disposizione, per cioè non solo al mattino; in alternativa possibilità di fare colazione in 2 bar vicino casa a scelta (brioche e bevuta) ed avendo comunque sempre a disposizione quanto prima elencato. # 6 voce RAPPORTO qualità-prezzo, cioè se interpreto bene: la casa non era pulita, io potevo dare di più, la colazione era meglio farla altrove, quindi ci meritiamo una MEDIOCRE SUFFICIENZA. C'è mancato poco ed eravamo rimandati a settembre! Oltre al danno, la beffa: con WhatsApp mi ringraziate. Sicuro di non aver confuso il B&B Tre Gigli Firenze con un altro B&B dove siete stati in uno dei viaggi che dite di fare spesso?! Comunque ringrazio, perché sempre "si può fare di più" e noi ce la mettiamo tutta. Cordialmente Fernanda e lo Staff.

françoise

Fernanda is very welcoming and provides great orientation to the city. In addition to the city map she gave us, she has several brochures and books to consult - very nice resources. The cost is right for Florence - a tourist city where everything is expensive. A real big bed (not two singles stuck together) and a comfortable room (it's better to book the room near the kitchen as it overlooks the backyard - less street noise); the only downside is the shared shower and toilet that must be shared with two other rooms. This may require some planning if everyone has to leave early, but a very small inconvenience for a very well located place (a few minutes from the station) and tourist attractions. Small fresh pasta store on the same street a few steps away - an authentic cheap dinner! Highly recommended! Thank you Fernanda for a very pleasant stay!

Everyone at the B&B Tre Gigli was friendly and welcoming. Their breakfast was the best I had among the 5 places I stayed. Fernande offered fresh apples, bananas, oranges. There were toast, three assortments of little wrapped breakfast brioches. Two kinds of wrapped little treats, I liked the one in the refrigerator, with chocolate on it. Milk in the refrigerator. Teas and coffee. I liked that they offered a plug-in tea maker. I used it to make instant coffee. They offered coffee, but you had to turn on the yellow knob for the gas on the wall, then turn on the gas on the stove. I could do all of that, but I was afraid that I would melt the handle on the small coffee pot. It was here that I had my first "cherry Jelly", it is now my favorite kind. I liked that the door on the street of the B&B locked, I felt very safe and secure. Tre Gigli offers all kinds of maps and books on visiting Florence. Fernande walked me to the tram at Santa Maria Novella, (only about 1.5 to 2 blocks away), she was helping me understand how to get the tram to the airport.

The answer from the host:
This review has made me very happy: offering guests warmth, safety, comfort, itineraries and small emotions, such as discovering new places and flavors or knowing different ways to prepare breakfast, helps guests to feel protected and to make them they know the habits of the country they visit. THANKS AGAIN TO HAVE SO SPECIAL GUESTS.

We did not stay at the B&B Tre Gigli, but Mrs. Fernanda very kindly accompanied us for three hours to visit the city, telling us very fascinating stories, anecdotes, and curiosities. Thank you, madam, for your kindness and cordiality. If we return to Florence, we will certainly contact her.

Great location of the B&B Tre Gigli, close to the station and a short walk from the cultural center of Florence. The owner was very helpful and extremely kind, she recommended places to eat and also the tourist destinations to visit.

stayed from 03/16/2019 to 03/17/2019

The answer from the host:
Gentile signora Carlotta, è stato un piacere illustrarvi altre bellezze da visitare, essendo già stati a Firenze. Città ricchissima di storia ed arte, riserva appassionanti sorprese anche a me, fiorentina di adozione e guida turistica. Spero di riavervi come ospiti al BB Tre Gigli, quando vorrete fare un'altra gita a Firenze. Cordialmente. Fernanda.

raffaella

The strong point of B&B Tre Gigli is the hostess, Mrs. Fernanda, who is very hospitable. She welcomed us and provided us with very useful directions to move around Florence. The house is very convenient to the station and a stone's throw from the center. The cleanliness is impeccable, the rooms are small but cozy. The shared bathroom is always tidy. There is the possibility of dining at home or having breakfast at the bar near the B&B.

The B&B Tre Gigli, located in the heart of the city, offered us a truly excellent service: starting from Mrs. Fernanda, already a tourist guide first out of passion then as a profession, who, understanding our needs, even contacted us a few days before advising us to book some museums in advance (Uffizi and Accademia Museum) to avoid the daily queues; on-site she immediately made herself available creating a cultural itinerary tailored to our needs and preferences, all places of interest within walking distance from the accommodation.\n\nWell-equipped kitchen, used by us every evening, and bathroom are shared with the other rooms and the 'overlap' of use was very rare (perhaps because normally dinner is eaten out).\n\nAlso appreciated the presence of shampoo and conditioner in the shower.\n\nThe location and the excellent management of Mrs. Fernanda really made the difference for an unforgettable holiday in Florence.

The answer from the host:
Con ritardo (x disguido, non certo per incuria), rispondo con piacere al signor Danilo, che ha ben dettagliato i servizi offerti dal BB Tre Gigli. È gratificante per chi accoglie in casa con passione, leggere delle belle parole di riconoscenza. "Sembra facile fare un buon caffè", diceva la vecchia pubblicità di una marca di caffettiere italiana. Ci si allarga il cuore quando riusciamo a "fare la differenza". GRAZIE signor Danilo, davvero! Alla prossima. Fernanda.

mahmoud

My wife and I stayed there, and we really enjoyed it! A very nice and clean place close to almost all the touristic places (we just needed to walk to visit everywhere) and several shops nearby, kind host, and well-equipped house. I do recommend it to others as well. The host was also very helpful in getting various information about our visits.

Tre Gigli is very convenient, close to the station, in an easy street with several restaurants and a bank ATM close by. The rooms are clean and comfortable but a little crowded with furniture and knick-knacks. There is not much space for luggage in the rooms and the kitchen, while fully equipped, is small. There are four flights of stairs to reach the apartment. Fernanda, the owner, is very nice and accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. However, communication with her is challenging, she lost our reservation after confirming it but was quick to re-establish it. She speaks better French than English so translation-assisted Whats App works better than direct communication and if you don't speak Italian I wouldn't recommend calling.

The answer from the host:
Ringrazio la signora Diana per il punteggio assegnato. Mi rammarico per il 7 dato alla colazione. Davvero non so più cosa proporre. Promesso che non posso offrire torte fatte in casa per la normativa vigente, offro 3 possibilità: self service in casa: latte, caffè, tisane, cioccolata, succhi di frutta, the freddo, plumage, merendine al cioccolata, biscotti, marmellatine, burrini, a volta anche banane e yogurt. Tutto questo è sempre a disposizione in cucina, anche fuori orario di colazione. Inoltre in 2 bar vicino casa, a scelta, si può fare la classica colazione italiana, con brioche e cappuccino, in uno dei 2 bar vicino casa. Riscuotendo per una doppia 55 Euro, con aria condizionata e colazione, con pernottamento solo di 1 notte, con ricevuta fiscale, accetto volentieri consigli su cosa devo offrire x avere il punteggio più alto. Grazie mille. Fernanda De Simine

The manager, Fernanda, is kind and helpful, she participates in exhibitions and cultural events in Florence in person, becoming an excellent source of information. The property is very nice and well maintained, only the bathroom is a bit small. My friend and I will definitely come back.

The answer from the host:
Ringrazio la signora Liliana, che salutando mi ha detto che spera di tornare con le amiche. Felice di accoglierle. Sono perplessa (e curiosa) del voto appena sufficiente per la colazione, poichè ci siamo parlate più volte, a voce ed in whatsapp. Spero di chiarire a lei e a chi legge, dando queste info sulla colazione: in casa sono disponibili self service: caffè, thè, tisane, latte l. c., burrini, marmellatine, banane, succhi di frutta monodose, thè freddo monodose, fette biscottate e cornetti insacchettati (marche note) dato che la legge non mi permette la manipolazione degli alimenti (dunque NO torte fatte in casa). Per chi preferisce colazione servita, può scegliere uno dei 2 bar vicino casa dove consumare il classico: cornetto e cappuccino. Per chi gradisce: una cosa non esclude l'altra! Fernanda.

Reception of Mrs. Fernanda at the top. Apartment equipped with everything you may need. 5 minutes from the station and 10 minutes from the center. I highly recommend it.

We stayed for two days in a room with a shared bathroom. Everything was perfect. The room was beautiful, quiet, clean, and welcoming like the structure. The extremely kind owner assisted us in everything, from directions to the free luggage storage on the day of departure. We had a great time thanks to many small attentions. We thought that the shared bathroom could be a problem, but everything was perfect. In the early morning, there was already someone cleaning it in turns, so it was always perfect. Moreover, the area is full of restaurants, bars, and in no time you are close to all the main attractions. We will come back because we felt welcomed and comfortable.

The answer from the host:
Gentili signori Rivi, grazie per aver apprezzato in toto: qualità, cortesia, convenienza, che Tre Gigli propone da 15 anni, applicando l'empatia. E grazie anche per aver "spezzato una lancia" a difesa del bagno condiviso, che potrebbe in effetti essere un problema se proprio gli Ospiti non sono rispettosi delle zone condivise. E non solo degli ambienti condivisi (anche la cucina al momento è offerta), perché un buon servizio dipende anche dal comportamento degli Ospiti. Vi aspetto il prossimo anno, con piacere e qualcosa di nuovo da visitare da proporvi. Fernanda.

Great structure and magnificent location, in 5 minutes you reach the city center.

The answer from the host:
Gentile signore Fraschetti, la ringrazio per la recensione comunque positiva. Per dare indicazioni sulla gestione del mio B&B, do qualche chiarimento (utile soprattutto ai futuri ospiti), in merito ai 2 punti in cui ho avuto un punteggio inferiore alla media. VOCE GESTORE punteggio 8 Sabato 5 maggio, avendo io un esame da sostenere, dunque non potendo fare personalmente il checkin ai signori, ho delegato una persona di mia fiducia ad accogliere il signor Daniele, facendogli trovare tutto pronto, nonostante fossero le h.9.30 del mattino: camera pronta (che corse!), mappa con tour evidenziato, biglietti da visita per i ristoranti in convenzione, bagno condiviso pulito dalla signora delle pulizie e presenza di altra signora delegata al checkin (dunque 2 persone a disposizione affinchè tutto fosse pulito, in ordine e pronto per le 9.30). Mi ero tenuta in contatto con gli ospiti precedentemente con whatsapp; sono passata in serata al bb per conoscerli e -non avendoli incontrati- sono ripassata appositamente al mattino della domenica: infatti ci siamo salutati. Non posso esserci sempre e solo io a fare i checkin, ma gli Ospiti saranno comunque coccolati da persone delegate. VOCE COLAZIONE 7 La colazione è inclusa e può essere fatta self service in casa. In cucina sono disponibili: plumcake diversi confezionati, succo di frutta, yougurt, banane, burrini, marmellata, fette biscottate e i soliti drink caffè, latte, cappuccino solubile, thè di vario tipo e tisane. Chi non ha voglia o tempo di prepararsi la colazione, può recarsi in uno dei 2 bar vicino casa e usufruire di cornetto e solito drink tipico della colazione italiana, anche seduti. Non sono autorizzata a fare torte in casa, e me ne spiace, ma la legge dà precise indicazoni su questo. Grazie dell'attenzione. Fernanda.

Fernanda is an exceptional host - she came to the train station to receive us - need we say more! She also goes out of her way to help guide you around Florence. Very well located place - a few minutes from SMN station and a 10-15 minutes walk from the city center/piazzas. Her place is spacious, clean, airy, and comfortable. (The bathroom may seem a bit small). Has the necessary facilities at an affordable cost. Highly recommended.

margherita

I stayed for a week at the B&B Tre Gigli run by Mrs. Fernanda. I felt at home, everything very welcoming and a hostess always attentive to my needs and never intrusive. When I return to Florence, I will stay here again without a doubt for its proximity to the historic center, and especially for the caring cuddles and attentions offered by Fernanda. Highly recommended!

The answer from the host:
Ringrazio particolarmente la signora Margherita, che cogliendo lo spirito dell'ospitalità in bed and breakfast, ha condiviso emozioni, entusiasmo, serenità. E assegno un bel 10 a Margherita come Ospite modello, per gentilezza, simpatia, educazione ed ordine.

anna

Clean, cute place, very well taken care of in the details, even though it is not high-end. The lady who manages it is very attentive to details. Maps, books, well-indicated tourist information. Possibility to use a small but clean and well-equipped kitchen. Feels like home.

stayed from 03/03/2017 to 03/05/2017

The answer from the host:
Gentile Anna, anche se con ritardo la ringrazio dei suoi commenti che fanno sempre riflettere. In particolare il 6 sulla colazione mi ha fatto optare in modo che chi vuole una ricca colazione possa scegliere in autonomia, pagando con lo sconto riservatomi nei bar vicini, mentre in casa ci sono comunque The, tisane, caffè, acqua e biscotti per un momento di relax in qualsiasi ora del giorno. Spero di ospitarla nuovamente anche nei giorni non bb day, dove 2 notti hanno il prezzo di 1. Cordialmente saluto. Fernanda.

raffaella

I recommend B&B Tre Gigli for its excellent location just a few minutes from the historical and cultural center and the main central streets full of attractions. The owner, Mrs. Fernanda, is very welcoming and provides all the tourist information. She also offers discounts for restaurants nearby. I hope to return.

Gentile signora Raffaella, ringrazio della recensione. È un piacere per me, romana di nascita, far conoscere Firenze che mi sorprende piacevolmente da 35 anni per la ricchezza di proposte per tutti i gusti. Spero quindi di rivedervi al B&B per proporvi nuovi itinerari. Per il punteggio assegnato alla colazione (inferiore rispetto alle altre voci), meglio un riscontro mentre eravate in struttura per capire in tempo reale se e come migliorare: location, quantità, qualità? Comunque se mi fate sapere sarà utile per tutti. Grazie e buona Vita. Fernanda.

Fernanda, the manager of the property, was very caring and kind. Cleanliness and courtesy for a property obtained from an apartment with 3 rooms, one of which is large (mine for 3 people), a bathroom, equipped kitchen, and Wi-Fi. Located between the center and the station, but practically in the center. Fernanda really facilitated everything for us: a map of Florence with the itinerary to do for 2 days; fair price. I definitely recommend it.

We stayed for two nights and found this charming and comfortable B&B in a strategic location, both for the station (a few steps away) and for the city center.
