Il Mercato Centrale offers an excellent central location right in the heart of the San Lorenzo Market district. From the moment you step inside, the building gives an atmosphere of a traditional Florentine residence. You can see that it was once a private apartment with beautiful high ceilings, which has been thoughtfully converted into several guest rooms with a shared breakfast area.
Staff are present mainly in the mornings and early afternoons. Staying here felt like living in a local home, yet having the independence to come and go as you please.
Our room was spacious, spotless, and very well maintained. The mini fridge was perfect for keeping drinks cool, and we appreciated the complimentary beverages provided on arrival. A continental breakfast was included in the rate—simple, yet good quality and more than enough to keep us going until lunchtime.
One of the highlights of our stay was meeting Bouchra. She greeted us warmly at check-in and served breakfast throughout most of our visit. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine hospitality made our stay truly memorable. Thank you, Bouchra, for your wonderful care and conversation. Hope to see you again soon! A presto!
