I'm a few months late from posting this review, but I highly, highly recommend staying here on any…read morefuture Florence travels. (Especially if you've previously visited Florence before.) As a solo traveler, this place was perfect! First of all, Romina was amazing, amazing hostess with the most-ess! She literally knows everything and anything that's going on in Florence; and she even has her own app!! From the best tiramisu in town to live music, to the "hot new restaurant" - she'll guide your way. So this gorgeous "hostel" was previously an elementary school... gorgeous architecture with marble floors! (I'm sure not too many hostels have that...) But if you can remember your old small gymnasium.. well yeah, that's the main "lobby" part of Tasso, with a bunch of tables and sofas to lounge. And the gym stage is where Tasso hosts the frequent local music acts that play on the weekend! Yeah... how cool is that?!? :) My solo room was quite large, extremely comfortable bed... locker inside to stow my belongings. (Just remember to bring your own combo lock with.) Shared bathroom was totally fine.. i never had to wait; nor do I think I even remember hearing anyone else go in there. ?? Loved this place! It was a total yelp find.. I can't recommend high enough. And I'll absolutely stay here again with future visits to Florence. Being on the other side of the Arno was great... it was certainly "less touristy". I stayed in Florence for a few days, so I even found "my own coffee shop" that i'd frequent because I stayed at Tasso. Tons of charm... amazing service.... totally secure location... comfortable beds... and I met the coolest people from all over the world!

BEST HOSTEL. This was our favorite hostel throughout our entire Euro-trip. Clean, single beds, high…read moreceilings, great staff, amazing location, air conditioning, the list goes on! We always cabbed to the train station because it was only €14 and we had a group, but you could walk if you're up for a 25 minute trek, not bad at all. Make sure you book in advance to stay here in Florence! We had the best trip here and credit that partially to the wonderful hostel.

This is a lovely Summer bar on the beach. What makes it special is that there are large mats with…read morecandles and cushions spread out across the small beach and you can drink under the stars whilst watching the waves lap in. The downside is that drinks are quite expensive and it is a little out of the way as it is in Marina di Pisa. There is a regular bus service running from Pisa bus station to Marina di Pisa though but it stops around midnight. I would say it is well worth the effort though.

AMAZING singer - music started at 10:30 on Saturday and we were a bit concerned at first because…read morethe place was a bit empty, but after the music started the place filled up and after 3 songs people started signing along and making recs! So so fun :)

Da quando ha aperto al posto di un negozio di vestiti non sono mai riuscito a entrarci. Ieri è stata la volta buona e credo di essere stato super fortunato. Suonavano gli "Strangefaces", una cover band della madonna con gli ACDC loro punto di forza. La gran musica pompata a dovere ha sicuramente contribuito al mio voto comunque positivo. Bell'arredamento "legnoso" e minimal q.b., barman (barwoman?) brava e veloce, disposizione dello spazio intelligente con un'area lontano sufficientemente dalla musica per chi vuole anche parlare senza sgolarsi. Il palco in vetrina poi credo sia la vera chicca. Della serie "volete sapere come suonano e cosa suonano? ENTRATE!"
