Villa Neroli

Villa Neroli

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel and nice quiet neighborhood. Close to nice restaurants and gelato although a bit far of a walk to the main city center. The bus or taxi may have been easier but we ended up walking everywhere! Made up for the amount of food we consumed while in Florence I suppose. Breakfast buffet was a nice start to the day!"

"This hotel was exceptional! The grounds were beautiful. The staff was extremely helpful. The location was perfect. The only downside was they don't have smart TVs and limited stations in English. We have to sleep to TV, but they are getting them soon. Otherwise, I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. We will be back!"
