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.

Very friendly English speaking staff, who always greeted us with a smile. The hotel is a leisurely 15 minutes walk to the Duomo so whilst not being central the hotel is within easy reach of the city centre. The room we had was very clean and well appointed, and the breakfast buffet had plenty of choice. I would without hesitation recommend this hotel.

Walking distance to all of Florence with great places to eat nearby. Old 1800's villa with all the updates to keep a tourist happy. Free breakfast and safe and secure parking available. Overall, great location and good price for a wonderful time in Florence. They even let us leave our car in the parking while we explored Florence for the rest of the day.

To get to the parking, you have to go through a very tight entrance...turn you side mirrors in kind of tight, but it was secure and no one would be able to get in to mess with your vehicle.

The central location was excellent, and the building itself has great charm and character. Staff were efficient and professional.

It was difficult to arrive alone in a foreign city after midnight, and there did not seem to be any facility to have a snack, after 12 hours travelling. I was simply sent - with perfect courtesy and civility - straight to bed immediately on arrival, without any supper! I only discovered on the day of departure that there seemed to be a sittingroom where I might have had a cup of tea - although I needed more than that. Going to bed tired and hungry is not the best way to start a holiday. Perhaps an arrangement could be made in advance for a light meal such as sandwiches to be made available - this should not be too difficult. This is not a complaint - just a suggestion!

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.

A beautiful building near the centre of Florence.

The staff were aloof and what appeared to be the manager was more concerned at telling her staff off for arranging the cheese at breakfast than tend to guests.

The room was beautifully decorated. Some will say its dated, but that's the point :) The garden in the courtyard is fantastic and very comfortable. Our room had a balcony overlooking the garden and it was very quiet. The staff were very friendly and the gentleman took the time to give me very detailed directions on how to drive around the city center to return our rental car. I would definitely stay here again!!!

The location is only 15 minutes walk from the major sites of Florence, I consider that close but it might be a problem for people with disabilities, as well as there being no elevator.

Everything has been good

The only thing that could be improve are the tv channels due to the fact that spanish people weren't able to watch the spanish channel.

Location

Loud Aircondition

The garden is good

The suit is not really worth the money we paid. too many mosquitos and the smell of the suit is never fresh
