Great Villa outside the bustle of Florence. Fabulous views of Florence and the country side. Very nice staff. Great breakfast and dinners. Several other good restaurants nearby. Best if you have a car to get to Florence and for side trips.

Nice hotel overlooking Florence
Stunning villa on the outskirts of Florence - tucked away on a private road. The room was a good size and comfortable. We visited during the offseason, so we weren't able to take advantage of the outdoors and the property as much as we would have liked (due to weather). It looks as though there is a new pool going in. A couple of things which may be improved: the hotel does not allow you to bring food in and Florence shuts down on Sunday's except the city centre - so plan your Sunday meals accordingly (we were allowed to order pizza). Also, there are a couple of dogs at the property in the offseason and let's just say there could be more attention to picking up after the dogs. Overall, the staff we great, food was good, and this property made for a very enjoyable long weekend stay.

Gorgeous Respite in Florence
This hotel is gorgeous! It’s up on the hill overlooking Florence so a taxi ride or if you have a car, all the better. The grounds are well maintained, rooms are gorgeous, breakfast is fantastic and they have snacks in the early evening as you consider cocktails. It is a very peaceful place with plenty of exploring for the kids. They did not have an appropriate dinner menu for kids however, but were willing to try. If you want to go into town for sight seeing- allow at least 30 mins to even call a taxi as the Florence public transit seems always overwhelmed. We would definitely come back again!!!
