The only positive thing worth mentioning is the beautiful (but unkept) surroundings of the villa. Everything else is from bad to worse. If I could describe the villa with one word - it would be HORRIBLE. Where to start? The apartment we had reserved was with 40-year old carpet, even older furniture and kitchen.Our room was dirty, stinky and shabby. After spending some time outside with fresh air, entering the villa feels like entering a fox house - the smell of rotten wood, mold, and dampness is overpowering and disgusting. The service was even worse - no apologies whatsoever; no willingness to satisfy customers basic needs. The owner, an elderly Italian woman, did not speak any language except for her native Italian, and didn't bother to understand why we were unhappy. The rest of the staff, a Filippino couple, spoke English but showed the same unapologetic attitude towards the customers as if they were doing us a favor letting us stay at the villa. We left the same day we arrived as we were unable to get used to the dirt, mold, and the attitude. Unvelievable how these people are still in business. In my country, such place will be closed by the Public Health Department.

Breakfast is ok Hotel is very bad. Hard to find place. We wondered for hours searching for it. Only after they called us we found it because at night it is hidden in the wall. Hotel looks like a creepy mansion. When we arrived they put us in a basement like room with 2 floors but very uncosy and bad smell and huge spiders all over the walls. The furniture is in bad taste and bedroom has bad ventilation even when window is open.

Their receptionist (from Philippine) was not kind and not polite .At one point the man the receptionist call the boss (Italian) shouted at the children. If you ask something they were lazy to do it .They give us one room that does not lock .They have not change the towels and the bed sheets for the three days we were there. Their breakfast is no good and all cold.

The hotel was very difficult to find, was not in Fiesole and did not 'overlook Florence'. No evening meals served and it was necessary to bus into Florence to get a meal!! To get to Fiesole one has to bus into Florence and then out again and obviously do the reverse to regain the hotel!!

The location of the hotel and the purpose it served for 6 travelers to stay together. The staff seemed irritated by our need for adjustment of our hot water each morning. The first 2 mornings; we had no hot water and a hot water tank that was leaking. Staff was not around to help guide/answer questions any time other than morning at breakfast time.

Si tratta di una casa nobile riadattata ad Hotel. Ha I pregi delle vecchie case nobili riadattate ma anche I limiti consequenti. Parecchi punti negativi. 1- hotel chiuso dalle 12 alle 16 /// 2- senza tv in camera /// 3- tutto il servizio svolto da una persona /// 4- sembra più un residence che un hotel come gestione /// 5- necessaria una macchina per spostamenti

Villa Ulivi mit einem Stil der späten 20er Jahre, ist im Grünen und doch sehr nahe der Stadt - vor allen Dingen ruhig. Da ausgebucht, konnte die ursprüngliche Zusage von großem Raum bzw. 2 Räumen erst ´für die 2. Nacht erfüllt werden

O Hotel tem comodos compartilhados mas não permite o uso total, o que é horrível, melhor disponbilizar menos comodos com mais privacidade O Hotel não possui um atendimento imediato e adequado totalmente inconveniente para o hóspede. Se o dono não gosta de atender melhor mudar de ramo.

L'environnement (parc arboré), calme, proximité des principaux sites touristiques (arrêt de bus proche de la villa). Sympathie des deux membres du personnel. Vétusté de la chambre (moisissures, insectes écrasés aux murs). éQuipement électrique défectueux (2 ampoules sur 3 grillées, prises ne fonctionnant pas). Literie peu confortable. Allée d'accès non entretenue avec de nombreuses pierres saillantes et dangereuses. Propriétaires présents mais "invisibles" curieux pour "une chambre d'hôtes" !!!

La casa es una auténtica villa toscana, muy acogedora y decorada con una variedad de muebles antiguos que le dan una calidez especial. Nos asustó las críticas que habíamos leido antes de decidirnos por este hotel, pero nuestra experiencia ha sido muy agradable, es verdad que no limpiaban cada día pero nos encontramos la estancia perfecta, además nos dieron un mini apartamento que no nos lo esperábamos: con salón, cocina...perfecto!! El desayuno muy correcto, con uns croissants riquísimos, cereales, yogourts, mermeladas...No dudaríamos en repetir. También hay un autobús a tres minutos del hotel, el N.25, que te lleva a la plaza de San Marcos de Florencia. El entorno es un jardín estupendo y muy relajante. Creo que deberían anunciar su ubicación de manera más visual, el letrero es muy pequeño y tuvimos que bajar del coche y buscar la entrada caminando, si llegas de noche puede ser complicado.

Es war das übelste grauenhafteste dreckigste schimmligste Zimmer, das ich je hatte. Mit schimmligem Zeitungspapier abgedeckte Fenster, dreckig eklige Teppiche. Kabel standen aus der Wand. Die Türe der verdreckte Aussichtsterasse war mit Kabeln zugebunden. Ich könnte ewig weiter berichten, aber vor allem sollten die anpreisungen über das Hotel überarbeitet werden, denn von hausgemachten Marmeladen und Kuchen haben wir nichts gesehen. Gerne sende ich ihnen Bilder zu.

Wenn man keinen Trubel will, ist man in der Villa Ullivi gut u ordentlich untergebracht. Gartenanlage ist sehr schoen, Busverbindungen gibt es in unmittelbarar Naehe. Die beiden Angestellten (ein Ehepaar aus den Philippinen) sind sehr freundlich u hilfsbereit.

La manutenzione è decisamente carente (porte che grattano per terra e che quindi non puoi usare, maniglia della finestra scassata, quasi inutilizzabile...) ed è ormai raro pagare 85€/giorno e non avere nè condizionatore nè televisore in camera.

Buena comunicación por autobus con el centro de la ciudad. Zona tranquila y excelente parcela en la que esta ubicado. El edificio esta mal conservado. La limpieza deja mucho que desear. Hay telarañas en los dormitorios y los muebles son muy viejos. La habitacion que nos asignaron no se parece a la que ofertan en su pagina web. Pequeñisima y con dos ventanucos en el techo.
