this hotel is a total disappointment. "charming antque furniture" means old metal frame beds with sinking springs and thin mattrasses, probably as old as furniture. rooms are always full of mosquitoes, against whom some smelly substance is being used. breakfests are poor, they charge separately for real coffee, and this morning when asked about boiled eggs, the owner said that...

I stayed 12 nights in March. The staff was friendly and accomodating, the room was clean and spacious, the breakfast was just right, and the walk to the attractions was well worth the modest rate. Ms. Rudina speaks excellent English and Mr. Sergio does quite well also. They were all gracious and I enjoyed my stay very well. It's close... More

My partner and I stayed at Il Granduca in February. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The only issue was the bathroom was tiny considering the room was rather spacious, and the shower wasn't in a shower box, just over the floor with a curtain and there barely enough room to turn around in it between the wall and...

Il Granduca is in a perfect location for people visiting Florence: an easy walk to the old city center, but in a quiet area somewhat apart from the touristic hectic. The location is especially great for Americans visiting students at the Syracuse University Florence program, as it is only two blocks from the campus at Villa Rossa. It's also nice... More

Florence is an expensive city but Hotel Il Granduca is a good compromise on cost, facilities and distance from the 'historic centre'. This is not the Hilton but an authentic Italian hotel situated a moderate, but interesting, walk from the Doumo.The gentleman running the place could not be more charming and helpful, the modest breakfast is quite sufficient and the...

I am studying at Syracuse University, and my parents both stayed (2 different times) at Hotel Il Granduco. The man who runs the hotel makes a great cappucino and a lovely breakfast, he is sweet and super helpful when it comes to finding things to do in Florence. My mom needed a firmer mattress for her back, and the staff... More

Stayed here for 4 days from 10th October this year with my husband and 16 year old son and was absolutely delighted with this hotel. It's quite small and quiet but this suited us very well. After long, tiring days exploring Florence it was lovely to come back to. The rooms (we had a double and a single) were very... More

My husband, teenage daughter and I stayed here for four days in the end of July, before our trek to Monti di Villa - Bagni di Lucca, to visit my family's village. Sergio and Rudina are very courteous and helpful; they always gave us directions, or information about local retaurants and sight-seeing, bus or taxi services. Rudina is bilingual English/Italian....

We stayed in this hotel 2 years ago and had a lovely stay, this year we had planned to stay in a different hotel but it fell through and after looking around we decided to come back here. I'm so glad that we did. We stayed in 2 rooms (travelled with daughter) from 29th July to 3rd August 2011. Firstly,... More
