Traveler Reviews CASA ROVAI
Gravatai, Brasile LECO_70 (2011-03-24 08:54:43)We had a great time at Casa Rovai. They are very good value, especially for big group: we where 4 couples, and we have had 4 double rooms with ensuite bathroom. The location is perfect - just 5 minutes from Duomo and Uffizi Gallery. The staff were knowledgable, very friendly and particularly helpful in organising our transfer from the airport and for the reservations for the museums. They also left some tuscan red wine, who was very nice for our wedding celebration! The rooms themselves were spacious and comfortable and they provided a fantastic breakfast with a fantastic homemade cake.

Port Saint Lucie, Florida Linne Esposito (2011-03-24 08:33:50) This is a wonderful guest house for a bargain price. Rooms are spacious and well fournished, everything works, it's spotlessly clean, so conveniently located (between Santa Croce and the Duomo), good and abundant breakfast, the rooms have frescoes.... The staff is warm, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. Very warm and personable atmosphere. It is truly such a deal!

Montreal, Canada Dianne Ellen (2011-03-24 08:31:03) Absolutely fantastic, central location, great breakfast, friendly multilingual reception people, clean and comfortable rooms, quiet and peaceful after full days of sightseeing... all at a fantastic price. You have to be able to lug your baggage up 2 flights of stairs - no elevator - but if you have no problem with that then this is the place to stay. I would go back in a flash.
