My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Villa Aurora in Fiesole and had nothing but pleasant experiences. This hotel is a prime example of how classic Italian hotels should be. It has a terrace bar with great food and wine. The service was awesome. We found ourselves at the bar each night before going to dinner just to sit and... more

Very disappointing. The place is firmly fixed in the 1970's. Would have gone out of business long ago were it not for its prime location in Fiesole overlooking Florence. Avoid. more

The hotel is just magnificent! We booked the 2 nights in early July. The staff is veru nice and you can't get a better position with a georgeous view of florence. In this old villa you can find peace and consolation that you will never find in the city. I will highle recomend this hotel to my friends more

Stayed 2 nights here last week in room # 34 on the first floor. Great views of Florence, comfy beds, pleasant staff and reasonably priced. They're doing some major renovations on the rooms as of March 19th so be warned that it's a bit of a building site outside during the day. I'd definitely stay again. One minor gripe was... more

My husband and I stayed here at the begining of October. We paid the top price for a room with a beautiful view over Florence, which was well worth the extra. The staff on the desk were really helpful, but the manager was rude and just didn't seem interested in customers. The restaurant was shabby and over priced, though most... more

We stayed at the Aurora 25-26 Sept, 2006 and loved it. Through pure luck, we had room #31 with a small balcony and the most breathtaking view of Florence you can imagine. Absolutely unobstructed view of the entire city from horizon to horizon- it was so stunning, we bought pizza our second evening there so we could sit on the... more

We stayed here for 2 nights (on either end of a hiking tour). The breakfast is allright but overall, the hotel is not very clean. The reception desk was not helpful at all. The small patio out back (overlooking Florence) was scuzzy to say the least. Awful. However, there were 2 restaurants across the street from the hotel (no hotel... more

My wife and I recently spent five nights out of eight days during Thanksgiving week at Hotel Villa Aurora in Fiesole and could not have been more pleased! The staff was especially accomodating and friendly to us as we were leaving for a few days in the middle of our stay and then returning for a final night. They gladly... more

Just 2 days before we left for a tour around Tuscany we read the scathing Villa Aurora review from the New Jersey couple. Their experience sounds terrible but it was not one we shared. We arrived with some concerns but found instead an individual, slightly idiosyncratic, independant hotel with a fabulous position overlooking Florence. It became for us an oasis... more
