I loved the location, but walking the hill to get there is tough, particularly if you just want to pop out for some groceries.

We loved the amazing rooms and space. The pool after a long, hot day was fantastic! The facilities were great and the staff were helpful.

It’s a very steep hill up from the Porta Romana. Require a taxi at some times as the road is narrow and cars pass occasionally.

Peace, quiet and swimming pool to cool down in the garden. Felt very secure and comfortable with the locks and gates with passcodes. The rooms were lovely, with high ceilings and paintwork. Bathroom was impeccable. Pool fountain didn’t work and the steps were getting old. This didn’t matter as it was still very refreshing, it’s in the shade by 5pm. Food and drinks are not offered, but you can ask to see what they have. Coffee is in a bag but you can request a cappuccino from the lovely staff. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

A little on the pricey side, and they charge separately for breakfast and for parking. Neither are that expensive, but I would have expected them to be included in the price.

Really neat location, amazing room with such a nice view of the garden and general country side, tasty breakfast, friendly staff, and a short enough walk into the city. Overall a great experience staying here.

We took several taxis to get back and forth because my husband had a foot injury, there is a steep hill to get up and down.

Free water refills and coffee, comfortable bed, good water pressure, nice sized room, very friendly host Giovanni gave us a different room that suited us better.

Local roads and parking is very tight!

We ended up here due to a cancelled flight but it was a happy accident. Nice pool, relaxing garden, convenient location, nice home made beers, and food available on site. Great host!

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

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.

Nothing

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.

Loved the style of the building, really helpful and friendly staff

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
