Bed and Breakfast in Firenze, Italy
by admin ~ January 22nd, 2010. Filed under: Uncategorized.There is no such magnificent city in Tuscany than Florence. It was the birth place of renaissance period in Italy. Florentines takes pride in bringing the classic back to its zenith. Taking credit of the Medici Family, Florence became a major city in the renaissance period with numerous works of arts and different architectures. One can view its magnificent panoramic view of its skyline with numerous classical architectures dating back from the 16th Century. Traveling the Arno River will take the tourist to different sites like the Ponte Vecchio. Reminiscing the days of Machiavelli when the Florentines are still independent from other Italian state, one can always visit the Piazza de la Republica which still dates back from the later Medieval Age. With these ancient sites, UNESCO declared Florence as a World Heritage Site. Likewise visiting Italy would not be complete if Florence is not included in every tourist’s itinerary.
Florentines take pride in its tourism. Millions of tourists are flocking in the area during the early spring up to the late summer to experience the great Mediterranean climate. A tourists’ usual concern during this season is a place stay. Lots of tourist, even outnumbering the local residents, will jam almost in all the inns and hotels. While this might be a problem for a tourist, a number of local residents are offering what is called as the “Bed and Breakfast” Inn.
Bed and Breakfast Inn is an old-fashioned tourists’ stay. Dating back in the old times when number of travelers going only by foot, some houses offered a bedroom and at the same time a breakfast meal while travelers have their momentary stop to rest for the night. Until now, Bed and Breakfast Inn has been popular. It is even a source of income for a number of Florentines especially during peak seasons when commercial hotels are fully-Booked. Visitors always feel at home with the innkeepers who will treat them as their family guest
The good thing in staying in a Bed and Breakfast Inn is its proximity to the tourist’s spots in the area. A weary visitor can always find the nearest inn. However, considering the proximity of the area to this spots, one has to consider the price it may offer. Expensive rates usually occur most especially during the peak season. It is most advisable not to stay in these inns during this season. A farther site might cater the same quality of hospitality, but at an affordable price.
For the first time visitors, the following are the guides in choosing Bed and Breakfast inn to make your tour in this magnificent city of Florence a memory of a lifetime:
1. Customize your choice of Inn according to your taste. There are lots of Bed and Breakfast Inns to choose from. One might find a modern type inn furnished with cable television and air conditioned rooms. At the same time, there are inns which are antique and historical in nature. If visiting in a historical site like Florence, one would always love to relive its glorious past. However, for people who are just mere site-seers, a wide variety of inn are there to choose from. Be sure in making the inn of your choice, you would be comfortable sleeping in that place to make your stay memorable.
2. Always ask the Breakfast menu. Bed and Breakfast Inns only cater breakfast for their guest. Likewise, it is best to know which menu does the inn serving. It is also good to ask if you can choose your own menu. In doing this, you will always have a good morning in Florence ahead of you.
3. Check if Baths and Comfort Rooms and are private. The next most important thing for a stay is the checking of comfort rooms and baths. While baths and comfort rooms are almost private in all the inns, there are still others which let guests share a common baths and comfort rooms. As guest, you will always find it uncomfortable to share the comfort room of another person. However, if you are only a transient tourist and would not mind using comfort rooms, this might not be a problem for you.
4. Keep posted on the house rules and regulations. Each inn has its own house rules and regulations. These includes smoking area, allowable adult and children in a room, visitor regulations, and most especially, bringing of post. It is a responsibility for the guests to know the house rules and regulations of every inn they will be staying. Otherwise, they might be paying for some additional fine or worst case of all, being expelled from the inn for gross abuse of its own rules and regulations.
5. Reservations are always a priority. Tourists who reserved before their stay will always be given the priority than the “walk-ins”. Due to the limited availability of the rooms, it is wise to reserve beforehand so that you, as a tourist, will be forewarned of high occupancy rate. It is always a must to know the check-in / check out time. In this way, you can always plan for your trip and plot your itineraries in Florence beforehand.
With the nice and reminiscing view of the glorious past of Florence and at the same time the warmth welcome of Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers, surely you will always have nice and memorable moments in Florence.
Watch the video related to reservation and breakfast
We made a reservation for breakfast at 8:30am this morning, had to get a bus to the Hollywood studios park and then grab the monorail to the contemporary resort where the Restaraunt is located. Made for a not so restful day off to start out but we had a nice breakfast anyway.

Yes, it is a buffet.
"Supercalifragilistic Breakfast in the 1900 Park Fare restaurant at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa offers an all-you-care-to-eat breakfast buffet that features American-style cuisine and selections that change frequently.
Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter and other Wonderland friends host the festivities. All are delighted to pose for photos or sign an autograph book.
"Popp in" for some custom-made omelets and carved ham. For little ones aged 3-9 there are special selections, like light and fluffy mini pancakes or Mickey-shaped waffles.
For those with a sweet tooth, don't miss Edy's Soft Serve Ice Cream, which can be covered with spoonfuls of sugary toppings or fresh fruit.
Entertainment during the Supercalifragilistic Breakfast includes short concerts from Big Bertha, a turn-of-the-century, fancifully designed organ from France."

rates cannot be raised after booking unless by prior agreement at time of booking. they can be lowered…
you should bring to their attention the first email where you both agreed to a price. possibly they lost it but hopefully you have retained the agreement. forward it to the b&b w/ your issue & everything should be resolved. they are w/in rights to have the deposit.
normally, these b&b's are a small business & operate differently from large hotels. sometimes, they are not very organized…good luck!!

The Chip and Dale Breakfast is actually located in Storytellers which is in the Grand Californian Hotel. The one in the Disneyland Hotel is Goofy's Kitchen. There is also another one with Lilo and Stitch in the Paradise Pier hotel.
Goofy's Kitchen is probably the most popular one. They often do extra things that provide more interaction than the others. However, because of this it is also the loudest of all of the character breakfasts. If you are going with kids, and strictly for best interaction this is probably the one you would want.
Chip and Dale Breakfast probably has the least interaction of all of the Character Breakfasts. Not that they don't interact they do, it is just there is usually not as many characters as at the others. But the one advantage to this is that you have the option to order off of a regular menu or go to the buffet.
The Minnie and Friends advantage is that it is inside Disneyland. Surprisingly it is not as crowded as you might expect, but you still need reservations. In terms of interaction this is probably just below Goofy's Kitchen but above Chip and Dale.

Bed and breakfasts are not like hotels. Each one is unique and has its own charms.
Guests are usually expected to pay for their stay upon or before arrival and may be asked to leave in time before the next guest arrives so that their room can be properly prepared. This policy is not unlike any regular hotel accommodation; but the innkeeper, in fact, may have more discretion being the owner of the property. Innkeepers often have a good idea as to when the next guest is arriving and may be able to be more flexible than a hotel. This is all part of the personalized service Innkeepers can offer guests due to the property's smaller size.
Because most B&Bs are small, typically with room for only 2-12 guests, it is advisable for anyone wanting to stay at a particular B&B to make reservations reasonably well in advance of their travel date. Location and time of year play an important role in room availability. Consultation with a qualified travel agent or the innkeeper with this type of accommodation may be helpful. Many B&Bs increasingly belong to associations and have a web presence.
Be aware that prices and tariffs described in various books and paper travel guides are often obsolete by the time they are published – Online guides and directories or B&B owner websites may contain more up to date information.
Before you make a reservation, you should be sure that you'll be comfortable in the bed and breakfast you've chosen. Asking these questions can help a lot.
Location
Is the B&B really located near the places you want to visit? Bed and breakfasts can be found in the middle of nowhere, so even if the address says "Nashville" (or any other city), it doesn't hurt to double-check. (And if you want to be in the middle of nowhere, make sure you really are!)
Breakfast
A full, homemade breakfast is one of the things that attracts my husband and me to B&Bs. But not every inn provides a full breakfast — some offer continental fare while others only have cold cereal available for guests. If you don't want to be surprised, make sure you ask before making a reservation.
Bedroom
Be sure that the room you're reserving has the kind of bed you want, whether that means king, queen, or two twins. And ask about the closets and drawers — some inns have rooms with no closets and very limited drawer space. As long as you know what you're getting, that's not necessarily a problem. But you want to know before you arrive.
Bathroom
Some B&B inns, particularly in Europe, have bathrooms which are shared by more than one guest room. If this is important to you, make sure you have a private bathroom. (Most private baths are actually in your room, known as en suite, but some private baths are accessible only through a public hallway. You miay want to ask about that as well.) If bathroom lighting is especially important, you should ask about that as well.
Allergies
If you're allergic to anything, especially food or pets, be sure to let the innkeeper know before committing to a stay. Most B&Bs will make every effort to accommodate dietary needs. Pet allergies can be more difficult to work around since the inn is often the innkeeper's home — the B&B's web site should mention it if they own pets, but be sure to ask anyway.
Children: Yes or No
If you're planning to bring a child or children to a bed and breakfast, definitely talk to the innkeeper first. Some inns have strict no-children policies, some allow children over a certain age, and others might allow children but discourage them except in unusual circumstances. Even if an inn allows children, it's often best not to bring them out of respect for other guests.
