After a very long evening drive from Venice to La Selva, getting rather lost as soon as we left the motorway. Had some terrifying driving around the hills to get to the hotel at night where although the speed limit is 70km/h there are extremely sharp bends which are not seen at night. No cats eyes anywhere needed it seems... More

I actually found this hotel on line and had my travel agent add it to my itinerary. The website said at the time that there was an attached restaurant, but it had closed. Not that big of a deal though because there are some fantastic restaurants that are less than 10 minutes by car. The hotel was being renovated and... More

For the 6 km from the train station in Calenzano to the hotel I paid about... More

The Hotel la Selva accomplishes its room photos by taking a photograph of bedroom furniture in its lobby. The actual rooms resemble not so much Florentine elegance as the locker room in the YMCA - in decor and smell. Furthermore, unless you have rented a car, it will be impossible and even dangerous for you to explore Florence - which... More

Don't be fooled by the website. We booked this over the web only to discover the rooms are not nearly as big as they look on the web. Our room, which we refused to stay in, had clearly been occupied by a chain smoker and all the management could say was that it was a non smoking hotel and they... More

Hotel La Selva was simple, very clean and the furnishings were fine. The staff was very helpful. This hotel made a good base for touring Florence. We took a train to Florence from nearby Prato. Very convienent. We were initally very pleased and thought we had a pretty good deal for only $75.00. Unfortuntely, after returning from Florence we discovered... More
