“AMAZING BEST HOTEL IN TOWN”
this was the best hotel experience I have ever had. Strikingly beautiful, top-notch customer service-I will be returning for sure
“Florence from on high”
Villa La Vedetta sits above Florence with unrivalled views. Excellent service, lovely pool and terrace area. Very good cuisine and wine list. Gripes; 2 weddings during our stay made it feel 'less exclusive' and on one night very noisy (but the bride and groom looked perfect). Drinks by the glass over priced. Oh and take your insect repellant the hotel lies within a woodland. Down the hill for excellent local cuisine and cocktails!
“definitely not worth the high rating”
I chose this hotel as it had a carpark on site which I needed as I was using this as a base to drive around Tuscany and Umbria. Overall I would say that the hotel needs a bit of a decor overhaul - the woodwork and walls are scuffed and shabby. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Be aware that this hotel is perched at the top of many steps so if you are not fighting fit - do not choose to take them on. A taxi into florence centre was around Euro10 each way. It has great views but is not near anything. The hotel restaurant is michelin starred so is seriously expensive which is fine if that is what you want - but I don't believe croissants and coffee in a michelin restaurant are any more expensive than a regular cafe - so that aspect is extremely overpriced. I would say my main and biggest complaint on this hotel was that the beds were so hard it was like sleeping on a wooden floor. When I got home I check straight in for Chiro sessions as my back was completely shot. To the point even though exhausted at the end of each lovely day in Tuscany, I dreaded going to bed as they were SO hard and uncomfortable and as a result sleep was intermittent. With a few changes this hotel could be wonderful but unfortunately right now it is not.
“Hotel in posizione strategica”
Abbiamo soggiornato io e mia moglie dal 9 all'11 di dicembre in questo hotel, scelto tra quelli proposti su Expedia e, devo dire, che siamo rimasti più che soddisfatti.Il personale molto gentile e disponibile, un servizio navetta con il centro di Firenze ineccepibile, non si può dire veramente niente di male.Ottima la colazione ed il relativo servizio.Dulcis in fundo, il panorama mozzafiato che si gode da quasi ogni lato dell'Hotel, confinante con piazzale Michelangelo, secondo me una delle più belle location di Firenze; conto di tornarci, magari in giugno, per godere della piscina con vista su Firenze.Grazie a tutto il personale ed alla Direzione.
“Grandioser Ausblick, guter Service”
Etwas für Individualisten und Genießer. Wenige Zimmer, etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Aber ein wirklich schönes Haus mit einem grandiosen Blick auf den Dom und die Altstadt. Sehr freundliches Personal, guter Service. Der Weg vor allem vom Zentrum zurück zum Hotel ist bei hohen Temperaturen etwas beschwerlich. Es gibt einen Shuttle mit etwas spärlichen Abfahrtszeiten; allerdings wurde uns bei Bedarf auch kostenlose Sondertransporte von und ins Zenrum angeboten. Das Restaurant ist sehr gut, aber teuer. Empfehlenswert: die Weinkarte.
“la vedetta”
Hotel di lusso, vista magnifica a due passi dal centro.
“Une position exceptionnelle dominant la vieiile vile de Florence”
Un tres bel endroit intimiste avec terrasses ,grand jardin,piscine,le tout dominant Florence.L'hotel et ses annexes ont une décoration actuelle et recherchée.Le restaurant gastronomique est de grande qualité avec un menu sympathique à 45 €. Le service est correct et la navette pour aller en centre ville tres pratique.A noter que la place Michelangelo est à 100m avec un choix de pizzerias et restaurants. Une seule critique,les peintures des parties comunes de la vila sont parfois abimées et souvent sales au niveau des portes ce qui est dommage pour un établissement de cette qualité.
“Bonne adresse pour séjourner à Florence, au calme”
Hôtel bien situé, sur les hauteurs et au calme, très bon restaurant. Piscine agréable, avec bon service. Accès au centre ville à pied en 15 à 20 minutes, belle promenade.
“Überwältigend!”
Wir werden die Tage in der Villa La Vedetta immer in bester Erinnerung behalten! Das Personal ist überaus zuvorkommend, freundlich und spricht perfekt Englisch. Die Zimmer sind sehr luxuriös, die ganze Anlage ein Traum, der Blick auf Florenz phantastisch. Der hohe Preis ist absolut berechtigt und macht sich umgehend bezahlt. Vielen Dank! Wir werden sicher wiederkommen!
