We wanted to visit Florence for 3 days but we did not want to be in the heart of the town since we had a car. We stayed at Villa la Vedetta, and just loved it. It is a mansion with 18 rooms very quaint and relaxing. It sits above the Florene so you have a wonderful view of the... More

A fantastic hotel in an ideal setting. Spectacular views over Florence from the terrace and the convenience of a shuttle bus to drop and pick up by the Ponte Vecchio. The staff were extremely helpful and everywhere was very clean. We will certainly be back.

We stayed for four nights in this lovely find of a hotel. We were in room 205 overlooking the gardens at the front of the hotel, it was decorated with yellow and ochre silk furnishings which went beautifully with the dark parquet floor, the glorious bathroom was marble and both were spacious and light . Two windows with shutters.Ortigia products... More

This hotel used to be a mini-castle and has the relevant architecture, view, location and great furnishing! The hotel is not located in the centre, but over the hill next to Piazzale Michelangelo and it is about 15-20 walking distance to the historical centre. I saw different types of rooms and I would suggest to book city-view room as they... More

Incredible view overlooking Florence. If you are in decent shape, walking into Florence is fairly easy, else a shuttle is provided to the City entrance. Shuttles do not run all the time so check to see when if you think you will need one. Also, the cost of a taxi to and from is reasonable. The rooms were very nice.... More

A wonderful location providing a stunning view over Florence. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was well appointed and the amenities provided were luxurious. We enjoyed the walk in to and back from the centre of Florence, which was in itself very nice. The hotel has a complimentary shuttle which we did not need to use as the... More

Perfect hotel above Florence, it's a short walk to the Piazella Michelangelo, beautiful views. Staff was friendly and helpful. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on that. Shuttle runs only twice a day so if you miss the evening shuttle, consider a taxi to return or it's a long UP-HILL climb coming back. Wonderful little... More

Large rooms, large bathroom and stunning views overlooking the city..Mattress and bedding a little tired, cloth chairs stained, but we didn't stay in much to let it bother us... The views and discounted room rate made up for anything lacking!

Great hotel, friendly and efficient staff and incredible view of Florence from the terrace. Situated on a hill, few minutes walk to Piazza Michelangelo, where you can see a copy of Michelangelo's "David". Unbelievable stay! I would gladly come back!

I stayed here once in January 2013 and visited the property a couple of times. Outside, the hotel is great. A beautiful South of France type building, a terrace with an amazing view over Florence and a nice garden with a restaurant and a large pool. Really great. Inside...a different story. The furniture in the lobby and the living room/library... More
