I cannot rate this hotel highly enough. It's a gem of Italy. We stayed there to go to the Moto gp in Mugello. The staff were amazing, the rooms are heavenly, and the food is superb.

I want to say a massive thanks to Ian who made our holiday. He looked after us, and made the holiday helping to sort out travel to the gp...Ian your a star! We will definetly be returning.

My wife and I stayed at the Mulino di Firenze in January during the off-season and it was great! It was far enough away from the city that you could enjoy a great view of the river and countryside but, only a 5 minute ride away. Great location. The value for the service and room we received was amazing and the hotel staff was more than happy to accommodate our needs. The hotel provides a shuttle that runs to downtown Florence four times a day, so don't bother paying for a cab unless you want to stay out late. I see other reviewers complaining about the pool area; we went in winter when this wasn't an option but, if you want western standards when you travel then stay in the United States. This is a converted centuries old mill, its not going to be the Holiday Inn. They place is great, the city was wonderful, and the staff was top notch. Oh, if you don't try the Florentine Steak at the hotel restaurant, you are missing out on a taste of life.

The hotel is a little away from the city. But this is quickly realized as a huge benefit. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the city and back. Also it is only a 15-20 euro cab ride into the city.

The hotel and the rooms are beautiful. It is the type of scene you will see in a movie. It was a terrific place to stay. We had such a relaxing stay we would love to be back every year! We stayed on our honeymoon for four days between trips to Rome and Venice. We really enjoyed the restaurant as well. The food was so fresh and always delicious.

The staff was extremely accommodating they booked our tour to Pisa and also provided us with a lot of information about the city. The scenery was picture perfect you could not ask for a better back drop.

If we are in Florence we could not stay anywhere else.

I visited here in July with my girlfriend. While we enjoyed the romantic nature of the hotel away from the rush of the city, there was nothing to do in the area, and little to do at the hotel other than dinner and drinks. The restaurant and bar are the best points of the hotel. The food served is exceptional, and the barman is a charmer. (My friend enjoyed his humor and attention especially, as did I.) Their so-called spa is basically non-existant, their grounds are oddly spaced and rather useless, and their swimming poor is odd and nothing that lends itself to actually swimming inside. I have since re-read a few of the negative complaints, and I can agree that for a family with kids the swimming pool is likely far from western safety standards and best to be avoided. The staff was okay in total -- the maids were charming, the restaurant staff were exceptional, but the desk staff were rather bland and humorless.

In total, for those who understand and appreciate world class resorts, the Hotel Mulino di Firenze
is far from top notch. On a value scale it is even worse.
