“The best stay in Italy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

This was our third time to the Villa Antea and we only wish we had more time. The rooms are very large and well appointed. You will not find a better bathroom in all of Europe. It is a home with a grand marble staircase leading up to the rooms with beautiful art decorating the walls. Breakfast is very pleasant and we especially enjoyed eggs cooked any style. We sent our children here on their honeymoon as well and they loved it.
They arranged our transport from the train station to the hotel and back as well as booked our reservation to the museum Academia to see the statue of David so we had no lines getting in.
They are easy to correspond with by email and most accomodating for your every wish.

“Home from Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

We have just returned from 4 nights in Villa Antea and really enjoyed the small hotel experience. Everything has already been said in the other reviews but we really enjoyed living in a house rather than a hotel in the city and either walking into town or catching the bus and living life as the Florentines do. The restaurants recommended by the staff were also a bonus as it is always difficult to find the right one. Nothing was too much trouble even letting us leave our luggage all day until we went to the airport.
Great place to stay and would definately return here.

“Sheer luxury!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

We spent a week at Villa Antea and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Our hostess Diletta made us feel at home from the first moment we walked in the door. Our room was pure delight, along with the very special bathroom. Breakfast was served in a delightful room on the first floor with a good choice available. The place would not run without the wonderful Florina who makes coffee, scrambles eggs, cleans rooms, rakes leaves, completes early check-outs and still finds time to go for a run! Great location, away from the busy heart of Florence, but within walking distance of all the sights. The only down side to this wonderful spot are the noisy doors and keys at midnight,and the wrought iron gate that everyone managed to slam on the way in or out. At midnight it can wear a bit thin. Having said all that we still had the most wonderful week at a first rate villa and certainly will recommend it others. Love the dog Marta and the art on the walls.

“Excellent small Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

If you are looking for a small quiet and exclusive Hotel, this is the place to go. We stayed here for 3 nights and we loved it. Very friendly and helpful management, excellent breakfast (anything but granted in Italy, since breakfast means here normally an espresso and a croissant) and very tasteful furniture.
P.s. If you are offended by naked women in paintings, you should go somewhere else ;-)

“first rate management”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

Bottom line - this B & B has a first rate management and an excellent staff. Diletta did everything possible to make us comfortable! This began with her prompt and courteous replies to my many emailed questions, as I planned our return visit to Florence and the vicinity.

I chose the Villa Antea because we planned to have a rental car and make day-trips to various hill towns from Florence. Most of the comments about the Villa you will read on tripadvisor are spot on and the photos are accurate.

Our ground floor room #1 was spacious and quiet. There was plenty of room in the closet and drawers for our 8 night stay and an in-room safe. There were no comfortable reading chairs in the room, however. The king-size bed was comfortable and the linens were fine. Wifi was available.The large bathroom had a spacious shower but no tub, which I would have enjoyed having after a long day of marching around. (I do see a tub on the website, if this would be a preference.) There was a small magnifying mirror to the side of the sink which had a very wide rim for your toiletries, but the lighting, coming form the high ceiling, was not very effective.

Breakfasts were adequate - yogurts, fruit, sweet rolls, excellent coffee, some cheeses and meats, eggs, if you wished, served in a lovely salon with a very nice selection of subdued music.
We were very happy with our choice, and, yes, I would recommend this B & B to my best friend!

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Experience a truly Florentine stay in an authentic 18th century Florentine villa. This luxuriously appointed Villa Antea was built by my great grandparents in 1887, and my whole family has lived here until the year 2000. The villa is located in one of the city’s most charming neighborhoods, surrounded by old poplar and lime trees, a few minutes' walk from the old town. Only six rooms, not just a B&B, but a little piece of paradise from which to discover the most authentic Florence.Like a luxury hotel in Florence, Villa Antea has bright, cozy and particularly spacious rooms with very high ceilings. Each room is nicely decorated with satin fabrics and antique furniture. The bathrooms are huge, entirely decorated with Carrara marble, showers have multi-jet spray offering all the comfort and elegance of a top class hotel.The ideal choice for a romantic stay slightly outside the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Florence. ... more   less
