A little bit too far to walk to the centre of Florence so would need a car or to get taxis unless you like walking

Beautiful palazzo, felt like stepping back in time! Lovely and quiet away from the bustle of Florence, but just a short drive into the centre. Lovely pool and gardens too. Lovely cot for a baby

It's already been noted by countless others, but it's a steep hill! Keep in mind if you're planning on visiting Florence on foot that you'll have to walk back up at the end of the day!

Huge room, historical building, great breakfast, private parking and a swimming pool. What's not to like?

Perhaps a bit far to walk in the evening if you wanted to walk back from centre.

As soon as I arrived it was everything I hoped for. Stunning property felt rural even though just out of city.

The breakfast wasn’t amazing - i was traveling with a hungry teenage boy! better lighting / furniture to relax inside if raining ( I thinkSome rooms have this in the room ) . Lots of lovely space but too dark to read !

The location - out of town but if you like quiet and being able to walk into the city then this is perfect The pool and shady garden was amazing to have access to - I could have spent days there dipping into the city for lovely things then back to relax The staff were very welcoming and helpful

Walk up the long hill back from town was the only minus.

Exceptional historic villa with all the modern amenities in the beautiful tuscan countryside and still only 20-30 min walk to Ponte Vecchio. Beautiful garden and pool. Relaxed atmosphere, helpful, friendly personnel.

It felt like a great respite from busy Florence. Great breakfast. Decent dinner. Clean rooms. Helpful staff. The pool was a dream in the heat of late June. Would highly recommend.

Think that parking should be included in the price to be honest ! Also the walk up the hill was fine for us after a day in the city , or supper out , but for some people this would be difficult . My elderly parents would not have been able to manage , but I believe there is a bus or taxi .

Very spacious , beautiful views , stunning rooms . Pool very welcome after a day in the city .

Paying extra for on site parking.

We were there 9 years ago when they just opened and this is our second time there. What we love most, apart from the stunning room with trompe l’œil decorations,is that we were within walking distance from the centre of Florence away from the noise of the tourist hustle and bustle with the added benefit of the chance to walk off any calories from dinner!

The location is good by car or possibly to know better the public transport. In the booklet it still said that there was a shuttle, but it seems that it was old information and they did not have that service anymore. However during weekdays there’s a very convenient small public bus that it’s really fast and easy to use.

Everything. The building itself and its history. The decoration, service and staff, comfort in bedding, views, outdoors areas and options for room service. Brilliant staff, communicative and knowledgeable. Great booklet with recommendations and useful info.

If anything, the mini fridge was loud, but it didn’t negatively affect our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful residence in Florence! The property is beautifully preserved and retains the charming, traditional Tuscan style. Everything was spotless, and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. The view from our window was stunning, and the whole place was peaceful and quiet - a prefect retreat after exploring the city. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Tuscany in comfort!

Beautiful property

The hotel sits up a large hill, so if walking is a challenge and you can't afford a taxi into town, I would not recommend it. The hotel sits outside of downtown Florence, which was a double edged sword. We got the quiet and beautiful view, however, as first time visitors, it did end up being quite a bit of travel for us.

Our room was so nice and spacious with a beautiful view. I loved the extra common areas with things to do. The hotel itself holds a lot of history, which was really fun to learn about. Everything was very clean and breakfast was delicious.

The walk up the hill after dinner, but it was good for us

We loved the history of the building and the size of the rooms. The pool and gardens were fabulous after a day out sightseeing

Walking home up a steep hill. The yin and yang of a beautiful location.

The property is beautiful. The history is so interesting. The staff has intelligent suggestions. The location is just out of town up the hill to serenity. Everything you would want from Tuscany. Plus a country brewery 6 minutes away. Shangri-la.

Historic, comfortable accommodation and walkable into and out of the city.

Beautiful building from 1172 with all the trappings of modern comfort. Gorgeous garden and pleasant pool.

It was difficult to get to from central- not far geographically but difficult to walk because it was up a very steep, long incline.

Fabulous period property. I’ve never stayed anywhere like it. I loved the banquet hall and the piano available to play. The staff were amazing and quietly accommodating to all your needs. It was a really chilled out stay.

The location is not ideal for someone who cannot walk a long road up the hill - in that case, taking a taxi might be a good idea. The poolside might benefit from some renovation. The breakfast can be improved - it is a bit repetitive if you stay long.

That was our second time in this hotel. We stayed in the same room as five years ago and still liked it! The villa is beautiful, the garden is cosy, the room is spacious and clean, and the bed is huge and comfy. The hotel is very peaceful and quiet. The location is excellent - it is not super touristy but is walkable to the city centre (or you can take a bus instead). You can park your car in the hotel's gated parking, which is quite convenient.

We had a car. It is up a long hill outside of the Roman portico in Florence . It is not convenient to get to on foot. You need to take a cab probably of late at night .

The property was exquisite. The room was gorgeous . It was like stepping into the movie room with a view. The garden and pool were perfect to cool down from the sweltering heat of summertime Florence. After a long, hot day in Florence it was the perfect respite . Next time I would spend a whole day or two only at the hotel and have Florence be the side show. Our room had a bathtub in the second bedroom which was an amazing addition to the room.
