Beautiful hotel, but terrible, terrible service. The owners have obviously spent a fortune restructuring this beautiful villa, but have overlooked customer service training. The director was arrogant and presumptuous. Not at all up to the standards that a customer of a 5*L hotel would expect. And they wonder why the tourist industry in Italy is in crisis.

Just returned from a 4 night stay, booked a deluxe room via Expedia which was not much more than the standard room, averaged about £240 per night sterling. On arrival was upgraded to a suite, no idea why but but very welcome. Room was amazing, separate sitting room with sofa, double aspect room with views over pool and front garden.... More

Excellent hotel in an idyllic location, great attentive service, friendly staff and flexible shuttle bus service into Florence centre. Rooms are very clean and excellent size, antique furnishings made the finishing touch

As others have mentioned in their reviews, there are very few words that can adequately describe how amazing this hotel is. It is a castle, after all, and the staff treat you like royalty.

This hotel is just stunning. Once you enter in the hotel you feel a mix between modern style with the light under the pub's table and romantism, with the statues and paints "à la Michelangelo" on the selling. The family room was in fact a duplex with the beds both on the main floor and on the second floor. The... More

We didn't stay at the hotel but did come for lunch that was very special. The hillside location of the villa high above the hubbub of the city was really special and the whole lunch delicious and served with great courtesy and style.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were absolutely perfect. Helpful, but not overbearing or stuffy. The building itself and its grounds are beautiful and our room had an amazing view over Florence. The free shuttle into town was really useful and the decent free wifi was very useful. Wish we could have stayed longer!
