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

I stayed alone for two nights here. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful despite the fact that I could not speak Italian - they were good enough to speak English tome thank you. The room was clean, and had lovely veranda overlooking the courtyard. The breakfast was plentiful and with a lot of choice - it was so... More

I've never seen such a dirty and poor place. The staff was rude with me and they give me the worst room of all the hotel (#21). The traffic's sound was so loud I couldn't sleep and it was not possible to close the windows completely. The toilette was at the same place that the shower it floads the room.... More

I was visiting Florence in July for the culture. My stay at the Il Granduca was a week long in the twin room with shower. Located on a walking distance from the city center and separated by one busy street, the location was good not being either too close or far enough. The staff at the hotel was polite and... More

The only strange thing for me was the small bathroom and the shower that wasn't separated, which means the floor had to be wiped up after a shower. Other than that (I've traveled to the Philippines, so this is minor), I enjoyed our stay there. The room was clean, comfortable and cute with "shabby chic", vintage furnishings and an air... More
