Fabulous location just outside Fiesole (but you really need a car at least for the evening - it would be a long, dark and dangerous walk into town). The swimming pool is lovely with plenty of sunbeds and chairs, and there are pretty gardens and terraces all round the hotel. The room was quite cool anyway, but the airconditioning seemed to work quite well too, and the bathroom was new with a good shower. Friendly and helpful staff.

The breakfast was quite basic and limited. It would be nice to have a choice of fresh bread (there was only supermarket sliced), and some fresh cheese and salumi (again, supermarket sliced). And muesli - there were only sugary cereals. Then everything would be perfect!

The hotel is in a wonderful location. The view from our window was stunning, just hills and Firenze in the background. The pool and terrace area are lovely and well kept. Our room was spacious and clean. The staff we interacted with were nice and helpful. We will surely come back and stay for longer than we did.

The location is a bit out of hand and in it's a shame that not even the closest town can be reached on foot easily, but this is clear from the onset. It was rather quiet while we stayed, but one could hear chatting and tv in the neighboring rooms. The breakfast was fine but might be improved a little. The building could be freshened up at some point, but in a way these not so modern hotels also have their charm.

The property was amazing and front staff were very nice. The view was amazing, a nice get away from the big cities. Easy to take the number 7 bus from Fiesole to Florence. I bit of a hike to the hotel from Fiesole, but we didn’t mind and well worth it. We found some walking trails close by with beautiful views.

Walls are little thin and the last night of our stay new guests in next room made noise talking, banging and flushing toilets until 2:00 AM. Not hotels fault, just inconsiderate guests.

Loved the pool. Views were spectacular from our room.

Edit: I hate that booking.com puts any negative comments first on here. This really does make the review look bad. These comments are minor points, but look terrible when presented first. Breakfast wasn't the best we've had, but was adequate. Travel into Fiesole town centre wasn't the easiest. It's a case of drive or risk walking 1.5km on a fairly busy road with no footpaths. A limited bus service is available.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location in the hills overlooking Florence. Friendly staff who gave us great recommendation for dinner in the village. Was too cold for the swimming pool during our visit so that will have to wait until next time!

The only small thing was that we hoped to leave the car at the hotel and walk into the village to take the bus down into Florence. But it is not easily possible to walk along the main road into Fiesole to the bus stop, so we ended up taking the car anyway. But there is free parking in Fiesole itself so this is really not a major issue.

Very quiet location. Garden with swimming pool. Adequate breakfast. Close to the start of nice hikes. Located few miles from Fiesole and on an easy drive to Firenze,

Need to realize that you need a car to get to a restaurant, but that was well known in advance. Reception can give some advice on good restaurants (we took one some 6 km further away from town and that was really nice).

The view from the room was beautiful. We woke up to a view of beautifully landscaped valleys stretching all the way to the city of Florence in the distance. All the breakfast items were excellent and included fresh apricot juice and local preserves.

the mosquitoes! They were far from ubiquitous but turned out quite vicious the night they attacked.

I travelled with my teenage daughter, we wanted to be near to Florence, but to have a pool and parking in a village. The hotel was beautiful, the pool and facilities were great. Breakfast was good, walking distance to the village centre (about 15 minites) where there were local shops, restaurants and the bus which took you straight to Florence. Would highly recommend.

Hotel didn't have snacks/ food available after breakfast, although there was a bar and rooms had minibar.

Travelled at the start of september. The place is in a really beautiful area. On top of a mountain. The bed is comfortable but the pillows we had were really bad. Stayed 2 nights so it was not that critical. Breakfast is typical Italian breakfast with croissants, bread, yoghurt, ham, cheese, egg, etc. Pool was quite cold to swim in. And I was not the only guest to think so. It's a mix of B&B and hotel. Several rooms and hotel like business. But very welcoming and friendly.

The pillow was awful. It felt that the pillows were too old, chunky. They should be replaced for sure to a more comfortable ones. I would easily raise the overall value from 8 to 9 with more comfy pillows.

It was really beautiful place to stay. It wasn’t in Florence, so it was perfectly quiet there. The only minus is, that it is quite long distance to Fiesole and we needed to go there every night for dinner. But everything else was perfect so 10 by me 😊
