Spent 4 nights here in February with wife and daughter. This quaint hotel is a 2 minute walk from the Santa Novella train station. But, don't walk it with suitcases over the cobblestones, unless you want to end up dealing with an angry spouse. Like I did. Take a cab. As we were on vacation and sightseeing, we did not... More

Excellent friendly hotel, 10 mins walk from the centre of Florence. lovely food and wine. simple but high quality rooms. the staff were excellent and very accommodating, very friendly and attentive. We had a tremendous dinner there which was excellent in every way. even the table decorations were beautiful.

We loved the grand villa Medici. It's location in Florence is very central - less than 10 minutes walk from main train station and in to the centre. The road it's on is very pleasant and the garden at the hotel feels lovely and relaxing because its quiet. All the hotel staff were friendly to us and very helpful. Our... More

I had a wonderful time at this beautiful hotel. After a grueling work week, I spent my first day relaxing in the garden by the pool. I ordered a few glasses of wine and a plate of prosciutto with fresh mozzarella and couldn't have been happier. It felt like I was at the home of a wealthy Italian, which makes... More

Just finished a tour of Italy and out of the 3 hotels we stayed in, this one had the best rooms, lovely garden, beautiful lobby and great staff. Problem? You have to pay for WiFi. In this day and age that's really unreasonable. Most hotels at least have free wifi in the lobby and public areas (where you might have... More

My husband and I traveled Europe for 8 weeks on our honeymoon and Grand Hotel Medici was one of our stops. The hotel was very pretty and clean (a little out of the way), but the staff was extremely rude. It was the only hotel that charged for booking museums and tours, and when you asked the concierge to do... More

This hotel absolutely deserves a higher ranking on tripadvisor. Big, comfortable rooms... Excellent service... Relaxing, clean pool - it's got everything. The only possible reason for not staying here would be the fact that it is not located in the city center. But don't let that affect your decision - the city center is just a ten minute walk away....

This is a lovely hotel with beautiful rooms (including bathrooms), excellent service and nice grounds + swimming pool. Location is good too, walking distance to all the major spots in Florence. The patio upstairs is perfect to enjoy beautiful views of the city during the day and night. And their breakfast is yummy - with lots of options.

The hotel is located about 15 minutes walk from the center of Florence, in a somewhat quieter area although on a main road. There are pros and cons to being away from restaurants, museums, etc., although the hotel operates a free shuttle service for guests. The staff is very friendly, from the doorman to the reception clerks and the housekeepers.... More
