“Excellent location overlooking Florence old part of town. Located on a hill with a beautiful pool. Very helpfull concierge service by suggesting some great dinning experience in Florence. Swimming pool and its surroundings - it made us enjoy the trip even better as it was extremelly hot and so gave us the opportunity to hide away from the heat.”

A great location above the city of Florence. The tranquility and ambience of the Villa makes it an outstanding stay for any well-heeled traveller prepared to pay a little extra for the privelage this establishment offers. I cannot think of one thing. It was really great.

Fantastic view over Florence and the staff was very helpful to help us sort out museum tickets during a busy weekend! Hotel is nice and deserve it's classification. The restaurant inside room is bit of a cave... Would be nicer to serve diner in the veranda on the main terasse!...

A lovely location near to Michaelangelo Plazza, free parking. We were travelling all around Italy and this was the one place we did not get a view! Very disappointing--after a week of other hotels exceeding our expectations. The man at the check-in desk was rude and immediately turned us off. It seemed strange that free breakfast was not included as it was everywhere else we went. We were trying to make a 1:00 appointment when we checked in, so had to rush to drop our luggage and never got an offer of being shown around the hotel after we missed the original check in. The garden is lovely, but some of the sculpture seemed very odd and distracting from the garden itself. With a few changes, this could have been a favorite, but it ended up being our least favorite of our weeklong trip to Rome, Assisi, Venice and Florence. Lack of room with a view of Venice, lack of breakfast included, rude man at checkin (the ladies were nice), photography going on in the lobby made us feel unwelcome to be there in the main building. Overall, just a lack of the welcoming high standard of service we received from every other hotel in Italy, which was surprising considering the price. We probably should have stayed elsewhere.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great lots of choices on the buffet and the hot choices were even more plentiful. We enjoyed the walking distance to Florence in town. The staff were prompt and helpful when my husband broke a tooth and had to get an emergency appointment with a dentist. The valet service took us to the dentist office and offered to pick us up afterwards, but we simply continued to walk around florence afterwards. Lots of walking, which is great to work off all the pasta, pizza and pasteries! Would love to go back and stay there again. Internet in our room was spotty on Wi-Fi, but again, the staff came to the room and gave us a wire to hook up to the hardwire access so that we could continue to use the internet. Drinks at the bar were expensive - 15 euro, while down the street drinks at the cafe's were 6-9 euro.

Location eccezionale, con una stupenda vista su Firenze. Struttura molto curata. Personale gentilissimosec efficiente. Molte sono le iniziative: oltre all'aperotivo serale, abbiamo avuto la fortuna di soggiornare mentre la struttura ospitava una serie di opere d'arte lasciate in loco a seguito di una mostra tenutasi in marzo: si passeggiava nel parco immersi nell'arte con il panorama su tutta Firenze! Il Sabato e la Domenica, outlet di moda... Il tutto senza in alcun modo limitare l'attenzione al cliente! Bravi! Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo! Unico neo: posizione del ristorante sacrificata, rispetto alla posizione della villa.

The staff tried very hard in trying to resolve our luggage problem (too much) in flying back to US. However, they were not very accurate, or else the language barrier got in the way. The room was small, but the bathroom was elegant. Very impressed with the stonework.

очень красивый вид на город с холма, находится рядом со смотровой площадкой, откуда примерно минут 30 пешком до старого моста, до моста и от него раз в час ходит шатл от гостиницы, что очень удобно, особенно вечером, в номерах ванны с гидромассажем. вообще ощущение было, что находимся не в гостинице, а заехали погостить на раскошную виллу. очень понравилось!

“I booked the hotel as a surprise for my girlfriend. It is an amazing hotel, that is so well done with excellent staff. They were always helpful, but such nice personable people also. I found it excellent value for money against other hotels in town that you pay top dollar for location but little else. We loved the staff, the views, the restaurant, the pool, the room, the four poster bed, the history, and the spa! What a great stay! Highly recommended.” David, London |
