Liked: Staff & service
The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, gave us good recommendations for restaurants and places to go. Breakfast was delicious! The hotel itself was average, not worth the price in our opinion. Our shower drain was clogged and water pooled in the corner of our bathroom. The walls are thin, we could hear other guests. It’s a beautiful property, but we probably wouldn’t stay again.

Nice, historic villa. Good sized rooms, everything worked but the air conditioner, which is very weak and could only get the temp from 28 to 27 after running for hours _ in the end we took our chances w the mosquitos and opened the window. Do not book this place when it is hot outside. A suggestion - a cheap $20 fan woukd have been great to have i the room. Also, mosquito nets should be installed on the windows, again, inexpensive but very useful when the AC does not work. Other than the AC not working, making for terrible discomfort when it's hot - the place is amazing.

Das Hotel ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, aber dennoch angenehm. Wir hatten im Bad lockere Fliesen. Das Frühstück ist klein gehalten, aber hat alles was man braucht. Zur Bushaltestelle läuft man ca. 5 Minuten und man ist damit schnell an den zentralen Plätzen!

Property was private and walkable to Ponte Vecchio etc. room for auto if you are driving. The place was efficient, but cold. No employees really spoke to you, or engaged. Just everyone doing the job. Stayed 5 nights. Says has bar but was closed for most all the stay.

Eine wirklich gute möglichkeit Florenz zu erleben. Hotel liegt etwas ausserhalb, deshalb war unser Plan erst mit dem Auto in die Innenstadt zu fahren. Wir haben dann aber bemerkt das es eine Bushaltestelle nur 4 Minuten entfernt gibt (Linie11). Für nur 1,7€ kann man so in die Altstadt kommen. Top! So steht das Auto sicher im Hotel und man spart noch Parkgebühren!!!

The hotel is located in a beautiful neighborhood with easy access to downtown Florence. Breakfast was also acceptable. Our room was renovated and clean but extremely uncomfortable. The sitting area and bathroom were on the first floor and bedroom was upstairs. The ventilation was so poor that we had to leave the first floor windows wide open at night but they didn't have mosquito screens and we got tortured by mosquitos all night. We asked to be relocated but they said they were all booked. There was a bathtub in the bathroom but the drain cap was missing and they refused to provide us with one so we couldn't use the bathtub. The building is not equipped with elevator and the receptionist who showed us our room on the second floor, didn't offer to help us with our heavy luggage.

Good place to stay with your family (nice and quiet rooms) and to park if you have a car, but note it is a 25 minute walk to the main areas. However you can take a taxi, the drink desk can call it or download the local taxi app (you cannot drive into the main areas if you don’t have a permit). Overall a good choice.

Only giving a 4 instead of a 5 for a few reasons. We didn't have breakfast so can't attest to how good it is. The shower was somewhat difficult to use due to the shower head not wanting to stay still. With that said it's in a good location pretty close to a bus stop which takes ~25 minutes to get to the tourist area or a 45 minute walk mostly downhill.

Hotel muito confortável, limpo e funcionários atenciosos. O café da manhã era excelente, uma variedade muito boa e sem restrições. O localização não é tão perto do centrinho, mas é perto da praça michelangelo e tem ponto de onibus perto que chega no centro rapidinho. Ideal para quem quer fazer bate e volta em cidade das toscana.
