Reservation via internet.
When we got to the hotel, we were "welcomed" by an old lady norma (about 90 years old). She told us that the hotel was booked out and that we had not reserved a room. Our internet-reservation would not interest her, she said. She was very unfriendly, shouted at us and made anti-german remarks. She wanted us to admit that we had not reserved otherwise she would not help us to find another room for the night.
It was the most unpleasent experience we had to make in our hole holiday.
I was worried about staying here after reading some negative reviews, but my experience at the Lea was fantastic! I got there with my parents and, even though she spoke no English, Norma was extremely welcoming. The room was beautiful though not really "central" (it's only about 15 minutes to walk to anywhere in Florence though...it's a tiny tiny place). The place was clean, breakfast was good, and overall I was very happy with everything.
I do not know about other similar hotels in Florence area. But this certainly could not be my choice during my next trip. If you make deal through internet be careful if the terms and conditions would be ordered. We were offered a price including breakfast but to our surprise, we were informed on arrival that no breakfast was part of the deal. This hotel does not accept any credit cards and insists that we check in on the day of arrival in begining of the day and pay money upfront otherwise they are unable to hold the room. We ended up wasting up our valuable time by travelling only to pay the room rent. The old lady managing the hotel is very aggressive and you would hardky find a staff in the hotel who is able to speak in English.
In general be careful about your deal and prices. I would not recommend this place in case you are not used to carpet dealers.
This was our forth time at Casa Lea. We will always stay there when go to Florence. Norma (the lady that owns the place)is very pleasant and helpful.The rooms are large by Italy standards. You can walk to the duomo in fifteen minutes or just jump on the 11 or 17 bus and be there in 5 minutes. See you next year Norma!!
It's a simple and basic pension, but what more could you ask for this price? Everything is clean and tidy. The location is superb, too close to the main buildings and te duomo. No need to use public transport. The rooms have a big bed with private bathroom.Very quiet and peaceful. The lady who runs the hostel is really charmful. Great!
