Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Florence

Room was clean and comfortable. The pool area was really nice and we enjoyed it. Staff are very helpful. The hotel itself is in an enclosed area so the parking is very secure but are also offered underground further secure parking. A lovely hotel, amenities and staff. Would recommend.

Location is great for the airport and Florence centre. Taxi takes about 20min. Really lovely pool for days that are too hot to sightsee all day. The restaurant is fantastic with amazing food for really good value.

The room was spacious & clean. They had a pool and a bar. Great place to decompress after trudging through the city for a week. The restaurant had a good selection & reasonable prices. Staff was nice

Thanks a lot to the hotel team for their effectiveness, especially on the Breakfast. We enjoyed staying at the Hotel, even if we didn't have enough time to test the pool.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the NilHotel. Our room was spacious and clean. The only downside to the room was that to take a shower, you had to step up high to stand in the shower and our view was of an industrial company next door. Breakfast was good and there were good restaurants nearby. This hotel is out about 25 minutes from city center so you get a bigger room, free parking and breakfast than you would closer to Florence. We had a car and planned to drive but the very friendly desk clerk advised us to take a taxi for about 25 euros. Thank goodness he did. Transit drivers were on strike and many roads were closed. Google maps would have never gotten us there and we would have missed our tour of the Uffizi gallery. Instead we got dropped off at the entry to the museum in time.

Our stay at Villa Tortorelli was just perfect. We had one of standard rooms but it was lovely and plenty of space for 2. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spotlessly clean. We loved the traditional Italian decor with ornate light fittings and furniture. The AC worked well and kept us cool in the heat. The pool and pool area are really well looked after and it’s so nice to come back to after a day of walking around Florence. We had breakfast both mornings which is a mix of bread, pastries and continental (plus some eggs and sausages too). The hotel is secure and so easy to come and go as you please. If you want peace and tranquility in the heart of Florence I fully recommend Villa Tortorelli.

Villa Tortorelli was just so special.You enter through 2 large doors into a beautiful courtyard and then the Villa appears. Our room was just lovely.All the ceilings and walls are exquisitely painted and we had a lovely shower room. The breakfast room again was beautifully painted and bright looking onto the pool. The selection of pastries and charcuterie etc was wonderful. We loved the pool area after a day of walking and there's even a roof terrace with views of the Duomo. We could use the kitchen for storing drinks,getting glasses etc and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly helpful staff. Thankyou so much for a wonderful stay.

Good location, 30 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella station (taxi ten mins/16e), 10 mins to main hub of Florence. Room was spacious with plenty of storage and with temperatures hitting nearly 40C, the air con was just bliss. The pool was the perfect place to hang out at any time of day, with shady spots if the direct sun was too much. Buffet breakfast; eat in or by the pool - always plenty to choose from. Both owner and staff were extremely pleasant; Alice couldn't do enough for us - even found us an emergency dentist. Excellent customer service.

Villa location was a reasonable walking distance of centre and places of interest although bus stopped at end of street with cheap access anywhere in Florence. First impressions were of a tranquil, distinctively beautiful and elegant old Villa. Welcome was friendly with secuity, room access and orientation explained. Rooms were spacious, well appointed and spotlessly clean with an enomous comfortable bed, relax chairs and well appointed ensuit shower room and WC also providing secured free WIFI throughout with a 50" + SMART TV for coms and access to your favourite platforms. Breakfast was standard continental but plentiful, with fresh coffee and tea made to order. The serenity and view from the roof top terrace was impressive and comfortably seated for 10 and ideal for relaxing. Unfortunately, the pool was closed during our visit but the grounds and pool terrace area looked well kept and idilic for good weather, warmer stays.

Well maintained rooms, staff v friendly and helpful. Nice pool. Superb breakfast by the pool. Good location walkable to all the main sites but far enough away from the busiest parts

We LOVED the infinity pool. We were in the pool everyday. The kids loved the table tennis too. The staff were kind and helpful.

This property truly blew our minds and far exceeded our expectations. The price-quality ratio is unbelievable. When we were shown to our accommodation, we were in awe—it was a massive and stunning apartment within the castle, complete with high ceilings, elegant furniture, and beautiful paintings. The two spacious bedrooms, a grand living room with a large fireplace, and a magnificent dining room that felt straight out of Game of Thrones added to the charm. The large, fully-equipped kitchen had everything we needed. The history of the place is palpable, and staying here felt like an extraordinary experience. The property is beautifully maintained, with breathtaking views of the rolling Tuscan hills. The infinity pool perfectly blends into the landscape, enhancing the castle’s charm rather than detracting from it. A delightful bonus was the delicious breakfast served every morning, featuring fresh orange juice and made-to-order omelets or eggs. The property’s location is ideal for exploring much of Tuscany without long drives. This place has left a lasting impression on us and was the highlight of our trip. We sincerely hope to return someday.

We've never been to a place like this. You are literally living in a castle. Our part/apartment was very spacious, on two floors (kind of), with everything you need: very nice bedroom, nice bathroom with cool view, and ridiculously big living+kitchen area. Really very nice, and takes you to another time and atmosphere. You don't sense the tourism, which I find very positive. Apart from the room, the surroundings are astounding. The breakfast area is very nice, especially when the weather is good and you sit outside. The place has a very nice swimming pool and relaxing area, which we briefly enjoyed. You really have to plan your stay so that you spend at least half a day in the castle and the area, to feel it and to recharge. Our host, Sara, was really nice and gives you all the details needed. Do ask her for advice on where to eat. She gave us 3 recommendations, we tried and enjoyed all of them! Did I mention that they have their own wine?

Really nice apartment located in an annex building, comfortable beds and accommodation, nicely decorated and with a well equipped full kitchen. The property is wonderful, the swimming pool has a great view also. We made a tour inside Bibbione Castle and a Wine tasting with their local wine, we loved it. Staff is great, specially Sara who is very kind and helpful. My only complain is that only one day, early in the morning, employees started cleaning and vacuuming the apartment close to mine, and we could hear all noise and their chat, but I reported the situation to the staff and they said they will take action.

Extraordinary, tastefully furnished apartment with a bedroom, kitchen, two bathrooms, from the larger bathroom exit to a small terrace for morning coffee or hanging bath towels. Clean and comfortable. Panoramic view from the windows in the bedroom and the second bathroom. Functional kitchen. Clean swimming pool with an idyllic, panoramic view, around rosemary and lavender, beautifully fragrant, optimal number of sunbeds. Parking near the apartment. Place for meals outside, barbecue nearby. Table tennis table. Tasty and varied breakfasts. Possibility of tasting and buying wine. Hospitable and helpful hosts, thank you.

We spent 9 days at the Villa Le Statue as a family reunion and loved the location! The family who own the property are so accommodating, lovely people, that did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. Each apartment is different, each with special features. Of the 2 we rented, one had a garden, with a huge outdoor table where we ate all our meals and was surrounded by olive and cypress trees and a view of the Tuscan hills. The other one had a huge terrace with couches and an eating area. The beds were all very comfortable, everything was impeccably clean, the showers modern and spacious. The pool area was remarkable, with a shallow area, making getting into the water easy and was perfect for children. We loved our stay there and were sad when we had to leave!

This is a jem of a stay. The property itself comprises of several apartments or suites. We had the Junior Suite which was just right for me and my two friends. The apartment is fabulous, spotless with everything you need. The pool was brilliant. Never crowded and accessible 24/7. We didn’t have a car and the trusty 25 was perfect for taking the 15min journey into town. By far the very best feature of this stay is our host, Martina, who is head and shoulders the best host I have ever encountered. She genuinely cares that you are having the best time and cannot do enough to help. Highly recommended- would come back in a heartbeat 💗

We loved everything about this stay. From check in, Martina and her husband were so accomodating and helped us organise some groceries and bus tickets. The Villa is so beautiful and located outside the busy part of the city centre meaning it was a perfect place to relax after a busy day. We loved the pool area. There is a bus stop within 100m outside the villa to take you into Florence centre. The rooms were spacious, clean and had all the essentials we needed to cook our meals. We loved sitting on the rooftop terrace to enjoy the afternoon sun. Can’t wait to visit again one day!

Our host was very accommodating in every way! She gave us map detailing sight-seeing parking areas, grocery store, places of interst and she speaks great English. Our apartment was spacious, extremely clean, great location just outside Firenze and beautiful views of olive groves and mountains of Tuscany. Very nice kitchen and family area. We enjoyed the pool while resting between family outings. Easy to get a taxi or bus stop right outside gate and plenty of parking for suv auto. Beds very comfortable and spacious bathrooms. We will certainly be back!

Martina is an excellent and highly professional host. The property is lovely, clean, spacious and has a wonderful pool, good and secure parking. Martina even made sure we could access the property much earlier than the official 3:00 pm check-in. Highly recommended and we loved our time staying at Villa Le Statue, as a very nice location to explore Florence, Siena and surrounding areas. The large terrace also had great views. Thank you and we would happily of stayed longer. Steve and Katherine, Herts, UK

loved the big room and huge bed. staff are very friendly. the rooftop bar was open for the last two nights of our stay and it was lovely up there. the bar man was very welcoming. we were in room 3 which was away from the main hotel, on the ground floor near to where breakfast is served. it was a lovely spacious room. we had a leaking air con unit but this was fixed very quickly. we hired bikes from the hotel which was a fab way to get around and lots of fun. the pool. our room was cleaned every day with fresh towels and the beds made. the pool was lovely, very warm! the sauna and steam was nice. we didn’t mind booking a time to use the pool. we can back each evening after a long day exploring and we’re able to biome the pool on the two occasions we wanted to use it, it was great!

The Spa and pool is wonderful very clean, plush and fancy, the pool, sauna and steam are high spec and modern with funky lights so really nice relaxing atmosphere, we also booked the roof top hot tub - it's an extra cost but I highly recommend booking during your stay. The staff were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Also LGBTQ friendly.

Superb 2 night stay. Hotel within easy walking distance of all the main landmarks in Florence. Spacious, bright and comfortable room. Excellent buffet breakfast each morning with a range of hot and cold items. Friendly and helpful staff, especially the two ladies serving at breakfast and Sandy on the front desk who gave us great recommendations for dinner. The spa was a real bonus and we made use of the pool and saunas. Finally, the terrace on top of the hotel provides incredible views across the city.

Location is good, loved the wellness spa. Guests should be aware that you must book to use the pool and jacuzzi in high season and jacuzzi terrace has a charge. This didn’t deter us, we didn’t get time. We would definitely return. A couple of good nights sleep and a great start to our holiday. Staff were very polite and welcoming. We will definitely be back.

Friendly staff, impecable service Comfortable, big rooms with painted ceiling Nice breakfast (sweet, savory, fresh orange juice, good coffee) Great rooftop hottub (for a surcharge) Cleanliness Pool and saunas Drinking water and ice available at all times

Our stay was wonderful. I proposed to my girlfriend here. Primal went out of his way to make that moment and the wider stay special. He helped me set up a spot for the grand moment, and managed to capture it in camera really well in a non-intrusive way. The castle is a beautiful classic, it felt very calm and spacious (15 guests at any time but we almost never saw anyone beyond breakfast). Great pool and numerous quiet shaded spots. Its walking distance from Impruneta (15 min), we could attend the harvest festival. Primal also helped with recommendations for restaurants and wineries around. Perfect!

Absolute dream. You won’t regret staying here. We’ve stayed all over Europe—London, Paris, Rome, Venice, etc etc. This was by far our favorite accommodation. From start to finish the host was amazing, great communication, kids loved the ping pong and pool, and staying in a castle! The terrace was perfect and beautiful. I’m very picky and couldn’t think of anything we disliked. The views are as if you’re in a painting. Run don’t walk! We will be returning asap!

Excellent location, very nice staff, very good breakfast, all facilities needed. Cool pool.

Great location if you are wanting to explore Florence and the Chianti region. Awesome facilities including the pool and lots of nice places to sit outside. Staff were very friendly and hospitable. We ended up having the castle to ourselves which was a nice touch.

The castle is a beautiful place to stay. The view from the pool is just amazing! Breakfast is available on request and we had everything we needed in our apartment.

all the property, location, food and winery are really very good. close distance to Florence (25 min drive). we liked the water-pool, dinner restaurant, garden.

We were two couples renting for three nights. The little converted former barn property was picturesque and perfect for our needs. The beds were slightly on the hard side for my preference, but we used the extra blanket as a mattress topper and slept great. The grounds were dreamy, and I wish we had more time on the property to walk. There was a sign for a trek that we didn't have time to do. Every employee we encountered was wonderfly kind and helpful. Being able to stay on a vineyard was a dream and they made us feel spoiled. The breakfast was very good and convenient, but it was pricey. If you are trying to save money either skip the restaurant breakfast or don't do it everyday. The kitchen is really well equipped so you could do your own easily. We did the breakfast thinking it would save us time, but the walk to breakfast was 10 min up a hill and then 10 min back down so it didn't save much time at all. I think they would have picked us up in the golf cart if we requested it though.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. The property has old luxury beauty with a relaxed and easy vibe. The meals were divine. The setting is stunning with lovely Tuscan views- oh, and the red poppies, vineyard and olive trees everywhere! Pictures do not do justice to this gem, located an easy drive from the Florence city center and many surrounding towns for day trips. Makes a great base for your Tuscan vacation. The apartment in the renovated farmhouse is great for families and you still get to enjoy the main Villa (where we stayed)! Just lovely!

We had the most amazing time at Torre a Cona! The villa was perfect for our big group, with all the amenities we could possibly need, and perfect views in all directions. We were so well looked after by the staff at the hotel, restaurant and wine shop, and everything we ate and drank during our stay was absolutely delicious! Already planning to come back as soon as possible!

The location was everything we dreamed about when planning our trip. The property was beautifully maintained, serene, peaceful, and the scenery was breathtaking.

A extremely relaxing and beautiful location, staff very helpful and friendly. The food at the restaurant was the best place we ate and we ate out a lot. The wine is also very nice, It is a quiet location and had the pool to our selves most of the time, but did hire a car which is much needed to get supplies and tour the area as the place is quiet rural. Train station is a short drive away and you can get to Florence and Pisa easily. The views are stunning you are surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. The apartment is very Italian in style but is quiet old in fashion, It is quite basic but has everything you need for self catering and was very clean. Would defiantly book again and take some friends as its a beautiful place and a perfect base to go back to in the evenings after a day of site seeing.

The quietness, the view, the polite staff were all pluses. The welcome with wine tasting and the gift bottle of wine from their vineyards was quite charming. The apartment was spacious and comfortable, but we were constantly plagued by mosquitoes inside the room. Just down the hill there was a swimming pool full of standing water that was the probable source.

Unique Tuscan nature! The phone app identifies 31 species of birds, some of which are very rare. The location is very good, in the middle of nature, everything is very well maintained and Cinzia is an excellent host. We enjoyed the good food in the restaurant and the wine produced here. There is a special place for holding a typical Tuscan wedding in nature.

Apartment was in a quite spot with in easy reach of Florence and other Tuscan towns by Car. Great place to relax after a days sight seeing. Restaurant was excellent.

Ci siamo trovati molto bene!! Il posto è bellissimo e le camera pulite e spaziose.Il personale gentilissimo.Grazie!!!!

Everything.The staff was very nice .She was old but she tried her best to explain everything.

The Villa is awesome, there is even billiard table.

The country house (half of a large villa) is beautiful, clean, large, and comfortable, and the grounds vast, with a creek on one side, and farm on the other, with great views of the countryside from the upstairs windows. It was perfect for our group of 4 adults. The peace and quiet was exactly what we were looking for as a getaway from the noise and bustle of downtown Florence.

Nice and polite hosts, great restaurant, amazing nature, comfy and clean rooms.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casale Carla! Our group consisted of 6 adults and 5 teenagers and the property was perfect for us. There are 3 well-stocked houses on the property and our 4 teen girls had the time of their lives staying in their own house and swimming in the pool all day. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is a beautiful property surrounded by breathtaking landscapes of the Tuscan hills and the location is perfect. Carla was very easy to communicate with and gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. She also helped put me in touch with a private chef who cooked us an incredible 4-course dinner on our last night in the villa. Overall, it was the experience of a lifetime and I'm already missing Tuscany and Casale Carla.

Beautiful, and comfortable. Carla is very kind and helpful!

The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making the entire experience feel personal and comfortable. Upon arrival, we were greeted with dark chocolate and a heartfelt message on the bed, which set such a warm tone for our stay. The cleanliness was impeccable, with every corner of the space meticulously maintained. Throughout our visit, the service was attentive, prompt, and always with a smile. As a lovely touch, they even offered us bottles of water for our return journey. And when we left, we were surprised with another thoughtful message and a pack of pasta to take home. The location was perfect too—just a 15-minute walk to the main attractions, a supermarket right next door, and only a 3-minute walk to the station which was perfect for us coming by train with two massive luggages. All the little touches, along with the fantastic location, truly made the experience unforgettable. I would definitely stay here again if I was to ever come back to Florence!

I have visited Florence a couple of times, staying in different hotels that I also booked through Booking.com. C-hotels club definitely was the best among all the hotels our family has stayed in. Great location, close to the train station and tram to the airport, and a supermarket was next door. Most of all, all the staff were so friendly and helpful, I was so touched when I saw a handwritten note on the bed when I opened my room. The breakfast was wonderful, it had many varieties we could choose from. Complimentary happy hour drinks, including snacks, were a big surprise. When I sent messages to the hotel to ask questions, they replied to me within seconds. The front desk people were very helpful and patient. The staff from the kitchen were very sweet and cheerful. We had a great time staying and will stay here again when we visit Florence in the future.

This was my favorite hotel, and it's also a little more expensive, but it's definitely worth it because it's literally a two-minute walk from the station. I highly recommend taking the train to Florence from Rome; your trip will be very simple. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and has a giant, comfortable bed. They carried our bags to our room. The bathroom is large and has a great shower. We had a problem with the drain being clogged, and they quickly fixed it and cleaned it all up. I would definitely go back. The bath products are great; there are even a pair of cloth slippers. We received a handwritten welcome letter and everything. Very good.

The hotel has an excellent location, right across from the train station and close to many restaurants, cafés, and markets. It’s also within walking distance to the city center. The staff were always friendly and very helpful. My room was comfortable, spacious, and clean, and it was tidied and cleaned up in detail every day.The bar area was wide, peaceful, and relaxing. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the welcome drink, a handwritten note with chocolates, and even a pack of pasta left in the room on the day of departure. These small details made the stay even nicer. Overall, I couldn’t find a single negative point. If I visit again, I would definitely stay here.

We stayed here for 4 nights. Left a message when booking that we wanted a quiet room and they accommodated the need very well. Even though the hotel is located right next to the train station, the room's window faced the courtyard so it was very quiet. The location is also great with almost all attractions within walking distance. The breakfast at the hotel was excellent and the staff in particular were very friendly and welcoming and the barista did an excellent job. We stayed in the winter so the value for money was very good and the room was large, so I can imagine it would be more popular in summer when travelling.

We stayed in room 405 between May 22 -27. The staff were exceptional, courteous, and impeccably dressed in professional uniforms and dark suits. The breakfasts were very good, as was the restaurant itself. The hotel rooms and hallways were very clean and quiet. This hotel is from another era in some ways and makes every effort to maintain high standards. It has a custom that asked guests to turn in keys every time we went out, and the key had a heavy weight attached to it. We got used to it. Can ask for messages and telegrams (kidding) when requesting the key upon returning to the hotel. We found lots of outlets in our room to charge our cellphones. The bathroom shower was small and water pressure low though we managed. Lots of mirrors in the bathroom, but not in the bedroom itself. Windows opened to an internal courtyard, though there was scaffolding up as workers fixed roof tiles and repaired cracks and repainted exterior walls. Was a bit of a distraction, though not a big deal. Air conditioning and lighting were good. No English channels to watch on TV at night. Extremely close to SMN train station and lots to see and do within walking distance. Staying again in early June we liked this hotel so much!

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Albani Firenze in Florence. The hotel was a quick walk from the train station and easy to navigate with luggage. It was also an easy walk to our tour meeting points. The check in was very accommodating with a bell hop who helped us with our luggage to our room. Our room was ready when we arrived at noon. The free breakfast was great quality! Eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, and much more. The hotel room was very spacious compared to the other hotels we stayed in Italy. One thing we learned is that although a hotel states it has air conditioning, it is not turned on until later in the spring. So, you will need to open a window. The street noise was very loud with the window open, but very quiet with it closed.

I had a truly wonderful experience at Hotel Albani Firenze. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, professional, and attentive, making me feel welcome right away. The hotel itself is elegant and charming, with beautiful classic décor that reflects the Florentine style. My room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with a large bed, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. Breakfast was another highlight—there was a generous selection of pastries, fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, and hot options, all beautifully presented. The location couldn’t be better: just a short walk from Santa Maria Novella train station, and within easy walking distance to the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and many great restaurants and shops.

The staff were amazing. Thank you to Lorenzo, Giovanni and Emma. The rooms were so clean, spacious, Tuscan vibe. The breakfast food was AMAZING. There is NOTHING to fault about this hotel except the minor works, we asked to be moved and it was NO problem for the staff. Anyone that comments negative about food or accomodation shouldn’t be on this site. We are from Australia and they treated all foreigners with respect and bent over backwards to always please. Make sure you TIP Giovanni he took all our 6 bags up and down the stairs to foyer to get into lift. We will be back !!!!

The hotel is conveniently located only a short walk from either the bus station or the train station. You can take the train directly from the airport to the main train station in Florence, it is less than 5 minutes from the train station to the hotel. The hotel is also well located for walking into the town centre and seeing all of the attractions on offer. The staff in the hotel are superb, very friendly and helpful, the room we had was a good size, very comfortable with a good sized bathroom. The breakfast was excellent plenty of choices from the buffet style breakfast, something for everyone

Perfect!! well, the only thing that could make it better would be if it had a pool…:)

I had a great experience at this hotel. The room was very clean, and the location is excellent—close to the city center. If you’re driving to Florence, I highly recommend this hotel because it’s located outside the ZTL zone, so you won’t have to worry about accidentally entering restricted areas. I also want to highlight the kindness of the reception staff. They are some of the friendliest and most helpful people I’ve encountered. They welcomed every reasonable request and genuinely helped us explore Florence with great tips and suggestions. What really stood out was how personal the service felt, staff remembered us the next day and even asked how our day went. I truly appreciated that. Special thanks to the hotel manager, Maroun Tayar, a very respectful and decent man. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to explore Florence comfortably and without stress.

Our experience was nothing short of delightful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, offering a generous spread that catered to a variety of tastes. Starting the day with such a hearty and diverse selection was truly refreshing. Our room was cozy and comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. The amenities were thoughtfully arranged, ensuring a restful and pleasant stay. The hotel's location is another highlight. Conveniently situated with a tram station right in front, it made commuting around Florence effortless and saved us valuable time. Lastly, the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Their warm hospitality and readiness to assist made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Florence.

We spent 4 days at this hotel in Florence. We booked via Expedia. The hotel is less than a 10-minute walk from the main train station. The check-in was easy and the clerk was patient, engaging and informative. The room was clean with modern look. The breakfast was included in the price and it had a great variety of fresh foods. Check-out was effortless. The entire front desk thanked us for our stay and wished us a good vacation. Excellent experience, bravissimo!

Staff were the kindest we have met in Italy. Wonderful customer service. Helped me to deal with telephone calls to my medical insurance company and trip to hospital emergency-very much appreciated especially during a difficult time after a fall elsewhere. Breakfast had everything you could want. Close to Centrale train station. Rooms quiet and roomy and beds comfortable. Nothing over the top fancy but everything you could need it provided.

Everything! We had a wonderful stay from start to finish. The staff were very helpful! Parking was excellent. Our room was stunning...it was situated in a freshly renovated building separate from the main house with a picture perfect view out of the window. The beds were extremely comfortable, the shower/bathroom spacious, plenty of shelf space for clothes and a mini fridge with complimentary water bottles. The breakfast was really good, with a wide selection of good quality cheeses, hams, fruits, sweets etc.... We enjoyed catching the bus in and out of the city which was very easy and we also walked back to the hotel once which took around 30 mins. There is a wonderful viewing point just 5 min by car to look over the city and enjoy the sunset. (We can also recommend the restaurant situated just opposite......Tip: it's a good idea to make a reservation if you would like to eat supper there.) We will stay here for sure if we come to Florence again:) .

The property is located in a most beautiful neighborhood in Florence. They have free parking on the property, the rooms are comfortable and the staff members are most welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was delicious with many items to choose from. I must compliment the staff members with whom we had contact: Serverio the evening manager welcomed us upon check in and was extremely helpful and informative. Antonio the bartender directed us to non touristy attractions and was always very attentive. Cristian and Roland , the daytime managers were very attentive and helpful. Vanessa, the breakfast manager made certain that we had everything we needed, and did it with a smile.

The room was clean, and cool during the summer heat thanks to the airconditioning! We liked the fact we could leave our rental car in the private parking of the hotel, and keep it there also for some time after check-out. The breakfast in the lovely backyard was good and overall we had a short but wonderful stay 😊 We liked that we could walk to Ponte Vecchio and the city centre in around 30 minutes.

The location was great ! You can easily catch a bus to downtown Florence, the bus stop is a 5-7minutes walk from the hotel . You can also walk downtown and it would take about 20 minutes on foot. Convenient for travelers with a car, there’s a private parking onsite which is hard to find in Florence. The rooms are comfortable with all the usual hotel amenities. Breakfast was adequate.

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.

En general todo fue una muy buena experiencia. El personal es muy amable y procuraban explicarme todo perfectamente en español (gracias por eso!). También hay muchos sitios donde comer, tomar café, un trago o salir a explorar. Todo queda accesible para caminar y la zona es segura. Lo único que sugiero como extra, es no realizar limpieza en las habitaciones sin aviso previo. Fue muy raro salir a pasear y al regresar encontrar las cosas en otro sitio diferente que donde yo las puse. Nada extraordinario ni causó problema, pero me hubiese gustado estar enterada de que se haría. Si vuelvo a Florencia, vuelvo a Deco. Gracias!

Staff, service, excellent location, great wifi, the hall way is not yet renovated but the room ( up the first set of stairs/elevator on level 3 was fantastic! It’s in the heart of the city so there is city noise. That is not a fault- I love the hustle!! Fantastic stay! Awesome coffee over the road!

Die Unterkunft ist sehr nahe beim Bahnhof Santa Maria Novella. Also perfekter Zugang vom Flughafen und auch Zugang in wenigen Minuten zur Mitte der Stadt. Der Herr am Empfang ist sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und sympathisch. Das Zimmer wird wird sehr rasch gereinigt & es hat alles was man braucht. Top für einen Städtetrip durch Florenz.

It is really near the station, 5-10 minutes walk away if I recall correctly, did not even have to take public transport. It is also really near the river, another 5-10 minutes walk away. The staff were all really really helpful! 10/10 would stay again.

Great location: you can walk to everything. Older hotel, but still a great deal for the money and location.The staff was friendly and helpful. They contacted me ahead of time to confirm my arrival. Housekeeping was excellent. I definitely recommend.

We stayed here for 4 nights in January and very much enjoyed our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful and we did ask them to assist us making a reservation one night. It is close to the train station which was important to use as we walked with luggage from the train- it's a must to be close to station with all the cobblestones. We did walk past it the 1st time we walked there- the city doesn't allow big signage. The breakfast was good allow we always seems to get there just after the family ate all the eggs. :) They also have a limited bar- small selection of wines and liquor/mixers- not a full service bar but adequate for a pre-dinner drink. It was very windy when we were there so we had a bit of noise from the shutters at night- one night there was some noise from neighbors or a restaurant but I was able to sleep. They had a kettle and a fridge in the room. My only caveat is that even though there is an elevator there were still some stairs to navigate- this was not a problem for us but if you are wheelchair dependent this could be a problem. It is an old palazzo they did what they could to make it elevator friendly one way to our room from elevator there was one step, the 4 more, then 2 more to get to our room. I also noticed that some rooms had stairs from the door to the bedroom floor. Just FYI. A very nice touch was the gift of a book written by one of the owners that you can take with you! I look forward to reading it soon.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel; I can’t recommend it enough! The staff went above and beyond to assure we had whatever we needed. Upon arrival we realized we made an error with the booking and were a day early. The woman at the front desk found us a room for the night and saved the day for our family and then they moved us into another room the next day. Each staff member was patient, personable, and kind. One of the women gave us recommendations of special places in Florence (we never would have found on our own) and even our next stop in Venice. This hotel is perfect for families or couples. We felt spoiled the entire stay! The breakfast had incredible options with attentive staff and a beautiful terrace to enjoy as well. The rooms are spacious with AC, but the key is the location. It is 7 min walk from SMN train station, and 8 min to the Doumo and the beautiful streets of Florence. We absolutely loved this hotel!!! If/when we come back we’ll definitely stay here again!

Palazzo dal Borgo certainly came out of a fairy tale! It was the most beautiful and perfect place I stayed in my travel to Italy. The dream to know Firenze certainly became a sweet truth because of this lovely accommodation. We were welcomed with so much attention and gentleness. All the people who we talked with were so polite and kind. The room was perfect, the clean, the beds, the air conditioning, the bathroom, the amenities, the view…. The breakfast was from the gods, with amazing foods and beverages, in a beautiful salon or under a marvelous tree. The location of the hotel is perfect, near the train station Santa Maria Novela and a walk to the historical center. I strongly recommend Palazzo dal Borgo because my days here were phenomenal and unforgettable! I loved!

My family stayed here as part of the Rick Steves Family Europe tour and this was a great way to end our trip. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the train station and located in an un-touristy neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and shops. The entire hotel is gorgeous and has so much charm and character. The staff were extremely professional and the provided breakfast was delicious. I appreciated the coffee menu and the lovely courtyard setting. I wish our room was able to get a bit cooler at night, but such is the case when visiting Italy during the summer. I highly recommend this hotel when visiting Florence.

We had a thoroughly pleasant stay at this well located historic palazzo near the Santa Maria Novella train station (10 minute walk). The multi-lingual staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Our room overlooked the interior courtyard, which made for a very quiet stay. Our room was clean and well-appointed, with very high ceilings. The breakfast was ample and is served in a very pretty room that included an outside courtyard. The hotel sent an e-mail a day or two before our arrival that highlighted a few restaurants in the area, which was very helpful. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.

I absolutely love this hotel. It is close to everything, and the bus stop is right in front of the hotel! There is 2 supermarkets, one on the same side of the hotel, right next to it and 1 across the street. There is an amazing pastry shop 2 blocks down, a pizza place and a delicious restaurant called TITOS, I highly recommend. The area is safe, I travel aloe and I never had any issues. The front desk is very helpful and there is parking availability. The hotel is safe and offers the breakfast that I do recommend if you like eggs and bacon, the breakfast is abundant, and the view is quite impressive. The proximity to the airport is 5 minutes by cab I never had any issues, this is my 3rd time here.

We stayed here one the first and last night of our trip to be close to the airport. If you go into it with the assumption that it's purely functional, it does that job rather well. But do note you will not not be within walking distance of any of the typical sights in Florence. This is just for staying near the airport if you have a late arrive or or early departure. While our first stay was okay, the second stay was great. Our room on the 2nd stay was much larger and the staff were fantastic. I think it may depend on which staff are there at the time and what room you get assigned, but in any event I think it's a great place near the airport.

The hotel was exactly what we needed before our flight out of Florence the next day. We had an early flight out and had to drop off a car. By taxi, the airport is five minutes away.This hotel was perfect for that. Very well-maintained, super quiet, has a high-end feel, attentive staff, and a very comfortable bed. Staff spoke English. We did not notice good dining options around – except for a convenient little kiosk that sold pretty good sandwiches across the street. Our espresso maker did not work in our room; however, when we left in the morning, the nice man at the front desk was more than happy to make Espresso for us before our taxi arrived. We would stay here again before flying out of the airport.

Location - tram line is 5 mins walk from hotel and trams come every 5-7 mins to take you to unita city centre. This same tram also takes you to the airport so very handy and cheaper than taxis! Parking - On site parking for free so if you have a car it’s alot better than parking in the city centre which can be difficult and expensive and also remember Firenze has ZTL Zone fees and penalties. Room - very clean and spacious and comfortable. Staff - above and beyond helpful - This is why I have given 10/10! We had a family emergency during our stay back home and they were so compassionate and understanding we are forever grateful for their kindness.

I’m giving this hotel a full 10 out of 10! It’s super clean, and just an eight minute drive from the center, which is really convenient. Everyone was nice, but the tall gentleman working the night shift was truly exceptional. He didn’t just do his job,he went above and beyond. He was super nice, patiently making several calls to find us a restaurant when everything seemed booked, and even lent me his charger for two days. His kindness made our stay special. I definitely want to come back because of how well they treated us and the great location of the hotel.

The location was central, easy to get around to any place, museums and the palaces can be easily visited using Frienzecard, it also has a phone app (as a side tip), the comfort and the room cleanliness was impeccable, it was recently renovated as I could tell, the breakfast buffet was flavourful, especially the bacon and all the meat products, also the watermelon was surprisingly sweet and tasty, and lastly the personnel was quick to respond to any requests and questions that I had, also they stored our luggage 3 hours after the check out, that spared me around 15 bucks, really enjoyed the stay, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for the properties around the same price per night. The room had working A/C, self locking door with card unlock in system, mini fridge, around 65” TV with some italien tv programs, the bathroom was adaptable for special needs people, clean, with bidet, very spacious just as the room. The bathroom ventilation system was extremely silent, made me think it wasn’t working at first. And did I mention the really great 2 espressos that I had every morning? Amazing.

This was the best hotel I have ever stayed at! I stayed in room 105 which had direct access to the terrace. It was simply incredible. The room was spacious and modern with a touch of traditional Italian vibes. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Especially the roasted tomatoes and homemade pastry. The hotel was a 3 min walk from Santa Maria Novella train station (the main station in Florence), 5 min walk from the Duomo (Santa Maria di Fiore), and 2 minute walk from the central market. I could not have pictured a better location. One of the best parts is all the hand painted elements in the hotel, were done by a local artist which has her studio two doors down from the hotel. It was amazing to go into her studio and see how she made the art on the walls in the hotel. I would not recommend this place enough! This is THE hotel to be at when in Florence. I can not wait to go back and stay at this hotel and explore more of this beautiful city.

This is our favorite place to stay when we train up to Florence. It’s only about two blocks from Santa Maria Novella, and it’s on a quiet street. At the same time a couple of right turns and you’re in the heart of restaurants and small shops. The lobby is beautifully made, and maintained in the rooms are clean, spacious, with plenty of storage space and an electronic information device. The bathrooms are also spacious and I personally love their showers as they are easy to access and easy to adjust both the height and the water temperature. They have a great breakfast in the morning and friendly staff willing to help you with anything you need. My girlfriend needed a quick cab to the airport And staff quickly helped her obtain a cab. This is a very nice hotel and one of my favorites. When you are arriving in Florence, there is no better place to stay.

This hotel was excellent. The room was beautiful, the air conditioning worked like a dream in the extreme heat, and the location cannot be beat. 5 minute walk from the train station and 5 minute walk to the Duomo cathedral. Everything else is within a 10 minute walk in any direction through breathtaking streets. The front desk staff were friendly and very helpful by offering a map to show us how to see the highlights of Florence and by ordering us a taxi back to the train station when checking out. Whilst the train station is only a few blocks away, it was raining and we had 2 large bags to drag along the old stone streets so we opted for a taxi for our departure. The only negative was the bed, which was quite uncomfortable, but fine for 1 night. I would stay here again. Florence is exquisitely beautiful.

The Hotel Art Atelier was a brilliant place to base our 3 day visit to Florence. Although we were only a 5 minute walk from the main railway station, San Lorenzo Market and the Duomo and 10 minutes from the Uffizi and the Accademia (for David), the hotel was in a super-quiet back-street which meant our night's were totally undisturbed, and also gave us the sensation that we could retreat a bit to our sanctuary. The room and bed was big and spacious, and the bathroom was fantastically appointed, too. Breakfast was varied and fresh. Special mention to their concierge/reception staff who could not have been more welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. A particular highlight was, on arrival, being shown where the best gelato could be found in Florence without even asking! (that's my kind of service). We would not hesitate to return.

I stayed at the hotel at the moment of renovation. Now it is not the old Italian style hotel, but more Scandinavian minimalism. Someone will love it, but I will miss stripes on walls and elegant furniture. There are plenty of advantages: Great breakfast, I felt full and happy with great choice of sweet and sour options. There is restaurant in the same building with really great food. There are few lovely stores around the hotel and big supermarkets are one tram stop from the hotel. And the tram stop is two minutes walk from the hotel. And tram goes directly to Main train station Santa Maria Novella. Even though there was a gas station next to the hotel it was still pretty quite and peaceful. The view from the window was lovely. And the main thing which is probably one of the most important in every hotel is the staff. The receptionist, the breakfast lady, the cleaning crew, the barman, - all of them were absolutely nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and hope to have a chance to stay in hotel Alex again.

The Hotel Alex is in the best position how ever you arrive we travelled by car and there is secure parking on site at 5 euro per day.200 meters from the hotel you can catch the tram into florence a day ticket is only 5 euro.The Hotel is clean and the beds are nice and comfy,the breakfast is a varied one with fruit,ham,cheese,yogurt,cereal,croissants varied ect the restaurant does good food and the price we thought for a hotel was reasonable we had the ,steak,pasta,fish and was all excellent ,also the staff went out of there way to be helpful i would highly recomend hotel alex for a good stay in Florence.

Simple and comfortable hotel which was perfect for our stay. Great value for money and very friendly staff. The rooms were very clean with fresh linens and plentiful towels . Downstairs is a nice cafe and adjoining restaurant. Make sure to book for dinner as it is a popular and busy neighbourhood spot . The food and service were exceptional.

We were in the middle of a trip from Roma to North Italy, so it is an excellent location, near the road and also near enough from the historic center, that we could visit for a couple of hours thanks to the admirable staff who let us extend just a little more the car parking.

We had a wonderful stay. Staff were very helpful. There is even place to park for Euros7 a day. Very simplistic and not very imaginative vegan food options though but good food for others. The room and bed were comfortable and maid service available.Better reading lighting would be good and more pillows please.
