I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its beautiful pool area and attentive staff. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but at times it felt a bit hot and stuffy at night. The dining options were good but did not quite meet the expectations for a five-star establishment. All in all, great location with stunning views over Florence, but there are a few areas for improvement.

The hotel offers a pleasant stay with clean and well-appointed rooms, though I did experience minor issues like a leaking shower and a sink plug that wouldn’t stay in. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my experience enjoyable. The location is peaceful and offers great views, but it’s a bit of a trek to Florence’s center. Dining options could be improved, as I found the provided restaurant menu to be missing. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a relaxing stay, but some aspects could use a little refinement.

I had a pleasant stay overall, with some standout features like the friendly and efficient staff and the location just a short taxi ride from the city center. The rooms, while nice, could use some more decoration and dressing up, and the dining experience had its ups and downs, with a limited menu. The amenities were decent, and while the pool was lovely, it also seemed a bit neglected in terms of the bar area.

The location was ideal for enjoying both the peaceful surroundings and the city. However, I found the breakfast options somewhat limited for a five-star property, which was a bit disappointing.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with spacious and clean rooms. The service was friendly, especially from Giovanni in the restaurant, catering to my dietary needs.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is stunning, sitting on a hillside that offers breathtaking views of the city, making it feel peaceful yet close enough to explore. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although the first night was a bit noisy. The staff was friendly, but I felt they could use a bit more experience in hospitality. Overall, it was a great value for money, but a clearer guide on hotel services would have been helpful.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was stunning, sitting on the hills with incredible views of Florence, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, our room didn’t feel quite as luxurious as expected, and there were a few hiccups with service that could have been better managed. Overall, there are definite highlights but some areas that could use improvement.

Rooms

7.0

The room was spacious but didn't quite have the luxurious feel I was hoping for. It had small windows with a view of a wooden house, and I wasn't thrilled about the low shower pressure. The setup felt more like a family room with two little beds instead of a proper living area.

Service

While the staff was friendly and genuinely engaged with guests, our experience was marred a bit when we had to wait an additional 40 minutes for assistance because the porter didn’t seem to understand our situation.

The location was fantastic, perched on the hills surrounding Florence with breathtaking views of the city. It was peaceful but still close enough for a short taxi ride into the city.
