Hotel Villa Liana  

Hotel Villa Leana is a piece of art by itself. The entire hotel is decorated with antique furniture. The high ceilings paintings and over all decor are a very nice touch and a great way to start to get into the Florence experience. We had a classic double rm and it was very comfortable and well appointed. Hotel staff was very helpful and their front desk personnel had a reasonably good command of English. Their interior parking is very limited and is dominated by a very nice garden. The center of the city is a close walk (10 to 15 mins). The breakfast was good, very nicely layout and we totally enjoyed their beautiful breakfast room. They also have a family room with table games, big screen TV, fireplace, and a very warm feeling to it. All and all very good experience. Will stay here again with no hesitation.

The room air conditioner (if that is what it was) is a standalone unit sitting in the rm with a hose that takes the hot air out thru a hole in the glass window. The hose actually heats up quite a lot making it hard for the rm to cool down. Even with the outside temps running at around 90 f (32.2 C) during the day the rm stayed at about 75 f (22.2 C) so don't expect much efficiency out of the air conditioning system.

Hospitality, Famil Atmosphere

The common areas in the hotel are very nice - classic style.

The hotel is too expensive for where it is located and the size of the rooms and bathrooms. The hotel "family" rooms are small... really just a double room with a couple of extra beds put in. We had them change our room because the first room I could barely fit in the bathroom and TV did not work (tiny screen, not a big deal but, with kids...). If you get a room facing the street it is very noisy. They were nice and changed our room to a little better room, at least with a reasonable bathroom. It is also a bit too far from anything - the 15 minute walk to get to the city center can be tough after having walked all day in museums and around the city. The hotel also charges for parking, which adds to the expense. It would be a nice hotel for couples, not for families. Families should seek apartment rentals, with more space, less cost.

Location was good for us.

No iron in the room (a deluxe room). I went to reception to ask for one and I was told there was no iron in the hotel. Not happy! A basic service that is essential for every traveller. The shower was very weak and took ages to warm up. The double bed was obviously twins pushed together. Not what you'd expect for €130 a night. Don't get me started on the pillows! I'd price the room/ hotel at €50 a night.

Extremely charming and historical pensione with lots of character. Somehow feels like a mini palace with beautiful high ceilings and details. Lovely reception/entrance. Felt really cosy and comfy.

Prefer tv with some English channels or English subtitles.

A beautiful old house very conveniently situated for the sites of Florence, we enjoyed a 4 day stay and walked everywhere from the hotel. Staff are friendly, rooms are clean and well appointed and breakfast is very good. It would not suit people who are not prepared to walk in our opinion, as taxis are expensive and it's a 15 minute walk to the centre for a fit person.

An old fashioned florentine palace, with a very nice aspect. Excellent and rich breakfast, in a bright ancient dining room at first floor.

Hotel room was impressive, however the very old and classic furniture may get a little tiring when you stay for more than 2-3 days. Breakfast is lovely, so is the staff. It was a little far (15 mons walk) from the centre and the monuments. Overall however, very satisfied!

The decor was very eclectic to say the least!! Breakfast was good and the staff very helpfull but the hotel itself was a bit of a let down considering the cost of it. I think next time we will stay a little more central because it is a good 20 minute walk to the hub. Having said that, if you like something a bit more rustic, then this hotel is for you.

We paid for a superior room with garden view but were put into a room facing the main street and were awoken to the sounds of sirens and dense traffic noise. It was so loud that we started to laugh! The staff accommodated our request to be moved into what we had paid for which was better and much more quiet.

This was the second stay. When we made a three-day trip to Arezzo and Cortona just with small bags, the staff kept our luggage safely as well as the previous time. Location ; main railway station (Firenze S.M.N ) is little far, but, another railway station Campo di Marte is within a walking distance enough.

Very friendly staff.A nice room
