OUR OPINION
This renaissance Villa is a former monastery nestled on a hilltop amid lush trees and terraced gardens. The 15th century facade is attributed to Michelangelo. Now a luxury hotel overlooking the city of Florence, this location offers many beautiful reception area possibilities suitable for both small to large celebrations. Truly spectacular!
"My wife adn I stayted for 10 days at this beautiful hotel in a junior suite. The hotel, being an old monastery is quite unique. It's position in the hills gives a fantastic view of Florence from the balcony of the room, from the pool, gardens, bar and restaurant. However, the most moemorable point has to be the quality of service. From the welcome as we arrived through to leaving all the staff from the front desk to housekeeping were exceptional. Friendly, helpful, polite and professional. Can't praise them enough. Truly beautiful hotel with exceptional staff and management. A gem."

"This hotel's facade was designed by Michelangelo. It was a monastery converted to a hotel. It's a small property - great for weddings, a romantic break or family getaway. I stayed at the Executive Jr. Suite with a terrace and sweeping views of Florence. The restaurants were fantastic, the wine cellar just spectacular, service was sharp and attentive. Concierge, GM everyone there, really was super nice and kind.
The shuttle bus to and back to Florence is a nice touch - or you can always take the short taxi to get away from the hustle and bustle of Florence."

"I absolutely loved this hotel. I've stayed in some of the loveliest hotels in Italy and I can say without question that this Villa was my favorite. First, the setting is remarkable, the views stunning and the vibe utterly charming. From the minute we arrived we were treated as if we were the only guests there. We were given the utmost of attention by all the fabulous staff who consistently made if their business to ensure we have everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Everyone who worked there, from managers to waiters to housekeepers were incredibly friendly and lovely. The food was impeccable (yet pricey) and the rooms were large and comfortable. I should mention that the design of this villa is not at all modern. It's very modest and old world but very clean and charming. They also have free internet in the rooms and also outside in the gardens! This hotel is certainly not cheap but if you want to treat yourself even for a couple fo nights, you will not be disappointed. This is the perfect honeymoon hotel."
