Response from The management on 20 Apr 2022
Dear, our breakfast is generally very much appreciated by our customers, sorry for not having completely satisfied it. It's strange to book a hotel without having checked where it is, we explain it to you. Just 250 meters from the Calenzano exit (A1), well connected to Florence (13Km) with a bus stop 30 meters from the hotel and internal ticket office, in an industrial area, excellent for those who work and for tourists who are not wants to stay in the chaos of a city center. They define it as a truly strategic location. Best regards The management

This is the second time I’ve stayed here and it was as enjoyable as the first. The staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast is delicious with a choice of chocolate croissants, ham, cheese, toast, wonderful yogurt and delicious condiments etc. The hotel is about a 35 min. bus ride into Florence and you can get the tickets right at the front desk. You can park your car right across the street from the hotel. Given the location, food, helpful and friendly staff and cleanliness I think it’s grest. Barbara

Too far away to Ferenzi and very expensive to be reached by taxi.
Response from General Manager on 25 Aug 2016
Dear guess, thank you for your comment, but we only stay at 12Km from the center of Florence, and also there is a very good service bus every 20 minutes (€. 1,20) from the Hotel to the center of Florence. Thank you Best regards La Direzione

great location if you have a car
We found the bus rides to the center of Florence were pretty long, about an hour, the location was great if you has car, its a easy access to the highway to Pise, Siens, Manarola... parking was right in front of the hotel

Used hotel for Mugello Moto GP
Nice hotel close to autostrada. We were on bikes which were locked in garage overnight which was reassuring. Supermarket across the road and an american diner which was good for us. Not much else about as it seems to be a commercial area. Rooms clean and comfortable.

Excellent Hotel, Excellent Room, Close to the City
The hotel is only 8 KM from the Florence city center. Good basic breakfast (Cheese, bread, cereal, coffee, and tea), the non smoking rooms were super clean but smelled as if someone smoked in it before, since the hotel is kind of old About the staff, hmmmmmm, it would be nice if they were little friendlier but we are not there to make friends. The receptionist was very helpful and showed us where to park in Florence.

Escape Driving in the City
Considering the price of the hotel we would consider it an excellent choice and great value. Parking was just across the street in a parking lot and was free. You can get the bus right around the corner to go to Florence for 1.2 Euros which drops you in the center of the city in about 40 min. Depending on traffic. The room was spacious enough. There are slso a number of good restaurants within walking distance.

Worth more than you paid
Great staffs, very helpful. Daniel show us the most welcome during our entire 3 days stay. Very comfortable room plus great location, very easy access the Florence by taking bus (euro 1.2 per trip, you can buy bus ticket from front desk). You can find the best Tuscany tradition food in the next door restaurant, excellent food with great price. Supermarket just across the street.

Nice hotel
Was a nice hotel just outside the main city. It's located further out from the central but if you're budgeting your trip and don't mind a 30 minutes bus ride, which is just located on the side of the hotel, the its perfect for you.
Response from Direzione on 7 Nov 2014
Thank you for your review and for your compliment, the hotel is very well connected to Florence and near to the enter of the highway, this gives you the ability to quickly reach other beautiful cityes in Tuscany such as Lucca, Pisa, Siena etc . Thank you again soon

This was a great place near Florence for a very modest price. We were easily able to take the bus to and from Florence for our visit. It was nothing special, but nice for a visit on a budget.

Great affordable hotel
The staff, cleanliness and location next to a super nice restaurant make up for the distance vs. Downtown Florence for this hotel. We had a great time and even offered internet for free. Would definitely recommend and be back to this hotel if budget is a constraint. Great quality value for your buck!

a good old style hotel, nice helpful staff, a long way out of town which suited us because we were able to park our car & travel to Florence on a nearby bus. We stayed here 4 nights to see Florence & surrounding area.

très bien...mais transports en commun pas pratique
Très bel hôtel ; très bon petit-déjeuner Chambre grande et confortable. Petit hic : notre chambre n'était pas prête quand nous l'avons récupérée à 14h30 (heure d'arrivée annoncée à 14h). Ce n'est pas grave en soi (ce sont des choses qui arrivent et nous n'en avons pas tenu rigueur), mais comme on nous a quand même donné la clé sur le moment, cela nous a quelque peu surpris d'entrer dans une chambre qui n'était pas encore faite... Egalement, à avoir en tête, les transports en commun sont complexes pour rejoindre Florence : préférer vous garer à l'entrée de la ville à proximité d'un terminus de tramway pour plus de facilité. Ces quelques points ne remettent pas en cause la qualité de l'hôtel et du service proposé et de la gentillesse du personnel : c'est bien le seul hôtel de notre séjour en Italie qui proposait une bouilloire dans la chambre :)

Noi volevamo una struttura buona, economica, lunga A1 a Firenze per la notte con parcheggio e reception 24h. In grosso modo correspond alle nostre esigenze. Reception aperto, benvenuto caloroso, e lo staff ha sempre reagito alle nostre domande e richieste con capacita' ed interesse. Il parcheggio e pubblico dall'altra parte della strada. Se cercate un parcheggio recintato e custodito, non e' così. Zona tranquilla, anche sabato notte.. La carta per la porta era consegnata anche col chiave. All'interno funzionava ma non nella porta. La stanza ghiacciata, abbiamo chiamato reception e sono partiti i riscaldamenti. Bella notte di sonno, senza problemi o disturbi. Nel bagno di recente ristrutturato, si bagnava il pavimento quando ci facevamo la doccia. Qualche cosa da sistemare, in somma. Prima collazione ottima, cereali in abbondanza ed altre cose buone. Economica, serviti bene, qualche dettaglio da sistemare, soddisfatti.

La ringraziamo molto per tutti i complimenti ed il suo bel report, davvero importante per noi. Condivideremo con il nostro Staff i suoi apprezzamenti. Aggiungiamo che i nostri nuovi bagni sono di nuova concezione, molte docce aperte, che a fronte di una maggiore affidabilità, obbligano ad una maggiore attenzione per la fuoriuscita di acqua. Ci auguriamo di riavervi presto nostri graditi ospiti. Saluti La Direzione
