We had a great stay here, a very luxurious modern apartment for the price we paid and just a stones through from the river with beautiful views and a reasonable walk into centre of Florence, which took about 15-20 mins. Over our short 3-night stay we had housekeeping services and a personal touch of a note to acknowledge a celebration during our trip. We didn’t have enough days to really make use of all the facilities provided within the apartment, but we would gladly chose to stay here again on...

Dimora Bandinelli Firenze

Oltrarno

10/10 Excellent

Located just into the outskirts of the centre of Florence this B and B offers a little bit of quiet away from the intense tourist buzz, although is only a 10/15 minute walk from the sights of the city. It's close to handy bus and tram (T1) links that can take you to the station and around the city. The room was beautiful and clean, with an amazing bathroom and air conditioning (which is vital)! Expect an Italian-style buffet breakfast eaten with the other guests, from ham and salami to cheese...

An opulent room with a grand chandelier, ornate gold detailing, and a large mirror reflecting the luxurious decor.

Villa Cora

Just returned from 5 nights at the outstanding Grand Hotel Villa Cora - surely the jewel of Florentine hotels. Not only is it beautifully maintained and comfortable with gorgeous grounds, fantastic furnishings, linens changed daily and brilliant bathrooms (we had two in our duplex suite), the staff treated us all as old friends of the hotel, valued guests and went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Breakfast was fabulous - whether the delicious...

We arrived in the evening and the check-in was smooth and quick, we were shown to our room which was a basic classic room which was clean and roomy for the two of us. After freshening up, we ventured out for dinner to a restaurant recommended by the front desk called Donnini. It was located in the square close to the hotel and the food was nice and the staff were pleasant. All the amenities are within walking distance with shops and restaurants open till late at night.

Located through a huge arched doorway into a small courtyard, the lift up to the reception on the second floor is on your right. We arrived slightly early but were able to check in straight away - we even got an upgrade to a superior room. The staff were very welcoming and the hotel extremely comfortable. The sheets were the best I've had in any hotel! There was even a turn-down service if you wanted it. The rooms were well equipped. Oodles of toiletries, although no shower gel. However, soap...
