When we were in Italy in 2000 the Dei Mori bed & breakfast was one of our favorites. Daniele (Danny) the owner is super nice and makes a great french press coffee (very strong). When we stayed there our room had a shared bath--which was super nice and clean--but it looks like all the rooms have private baths now. The best part of this place is the fabulous location in Florence.
