About
Melody House
Melody House is a 3-star bed and breakfast on Viale Fratelli Rosselli, a short walk from Florence's Santa Maria Novella station. The property is adults-only, so the atmosphere stays calm, and there's a garden and a shared lounge for relaxing between sightseeing.
Rooms are simple but well kept, with air conditioning, heating, and tea and coffee facilities in many of them. Breakfast includes croissants and what several guests describe as real espresso. The B&B sits about 1.5 km from Ponte Vecchio, so most of the historic center is within walking distance.
