Our family of three just returned from a two week trip to Italy during which we stayed at the Montebello Splendid in Florence for 5 nights. The hotel is gorgeous and roomy with a country in the city feel. It is about a mile or 15 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio. We grew to enjoy the walk and there... more

I am a seasoned traveller and difficult to please. The Montebello got a tick from us and will go back again. As with everything the final judgement is a combination of product, service, location and price. Judged on that basis the Montebello is excellent choice. We booked a classic room bu t the staff upgraded us to a superior upon... more

I can't say enough about this hotel and the quality of the staff and service. We stayed during the August season and the hotel seemed not very well populated, however the service was impeccable. Brunch was an incredible value at 18 euro per person and bested some of the other brunches at other upscale establishments in Venice and Rome costing... more

The location of the hotel is very quiet and accessible. The hotel itself is more a boutique hotel and far from the impersonal chains (however good) all over Europe. The family room is fairly cramped and with one bathroom (downstairs) for four people, gets a bit claustrophic. But the public rooms are great and the staff appear genuinely concerned in... more

Our trip to Florence was made all the better by our choice of hotel. At last in Italy a hotel room which was quiet - no traffic noise. Apart from the good nights sleep the staff at this hotel were excellent - before we left the UK arrangements by E mail for restaurant bookings and museum tickets all in good... more
