On the first floor, after a flight of stairs, there is the Reception Hall and the Tacca Hall on the right. The night zone, instead, is a third hall, divided in 20 small rooms, each of which can host up to 4 people (with 2 double decker beds) Not just hospitality... Besides the hospitality, the hostel offers also a number of complementary services, among which the following: - Locker closets (free) - Breakfast (fair trade based) - Eco-fair catering, for lunch and dinner (on the road as well).

It is necessary to book the service, specifying the number of people and the required menu. - Meeting space and hall for exibitions and workshops - Fair trade shop - Bicycles (for rent) - Internet point Social itineraries throughout Florence To enjoy the experience of a social and sustainable turism in the traditional town and in the more contemporary parts of Florence, you may be accompanied by a guide of the Ospitale delle Rifiorenze. Guided Tours These itineraries offer the possibility to get to know not only the beautiful and antique face of Florence, but also the face of the modern city. Florence, as Buontalenti discribed it, is the city of the “good eye” and the “bad tongue”: it is worthwhile to discover it slowly and respectfully, following different paths than the traditionally mass tourist ones.
