Stayed 5 days with 2 kids 5 and 8 last November but have stayed many times before. It is one of the most beautiful property in Florence, as it is so nice to be up on a hill yet so close to the center through Porta Romana, a delightful walk away (need a lift to go back though). Yes it... more

Torre Bellosguardo is a privately owned, beautiful Medieval Villa operating as a discreet hotel. Don't come here if you expect in your face, 5 star service though. Ambience wise, you feel like you are the weekend guest at a very special arisocratic home. There are very few staff around, and at times you feel like you own the place. The... more

We spent 3 nights at Bellosguardo - what a stunning location. This was let down by the overpriced rooms, most of which seemed as is they hadnt been invested in for years; and the unhelpful staff. To pay 350 euros for a room I wouldnt then expect to be charged extra for a bottle of water left at the bedside,... more

You feel like you have a castle all to yourself as it is very quiet and you hardly encounter other guests in this massive estate. The building is huge, filled with antiques and amazing architectural details. We had a large corner room with panoramic views of the entire city of Florence. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was typically European--a... more

From the moment we arrived on the property we experienced the breathtaking view of Florence below and before us was the grandeur of the hotel, serene outdoor pool and the beautiful grounds. There was a pleasant quiet which we knew would be relaxing in the evenings after long days of sightseeing. The hotel desk clerk greeted us immediately and showed... more

We didn't have the high ceilings of the first floor but we had the peace and quiet, being at the top of the hotel. The boys had their... more

This is an extraordinary experience, not a normal tourist hotel. Bellosguardo is an historic mansion on a hill overlooking Florence, which has been lovingly restored and furnished with period antiques. Our suite had an amazing view of Florence. The room was large and beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was luxurious. Breakfast was large and delicious (although not... more

we have stayed in Florence over the years several times always in the centre of town and always just before or after the summer to avoid the great heat and crowds. Two years ago we were recommended this hotel by friends who are long time customers. The most obvious bonus of the hotel is the view which by our experience... more

We went for a Holiday in Florence from an icecold and rainy Sweden. The hotel was very nice and authentic with original furniture, and then it has a fantastic view over Florence. It 's also not a very big hotel which creates a nice familiar feeling and it's a castle constructed by the Medici, so to stay there feels like... more
