My husband and I are in our forties and have recently returned from our holiday in Italy. Of course, like any other traveller, we used tripadvisor before we booked our hotel. It met our requirements and seemed reasonable. It was a good walk away from the main part of Florence, but we enjoyed the walk along a tree lined avenue.... more

On the plus side, the room we were in had a lovely view of the hills southwest of Florence. The distance from the city centre was not too bad, i.e. about a 20-30 minute walk. However, there is very little within the immediate environs of the hotel - you have to walk for at least 10-15 minutes to come across... more

Great hotle just outside the Roman Gate on the way to Piazza Micheangelo, adjacent to the Boboli Gardens. A short bus ride to the center of the old city and walking distance to the Piti Museum. Excellent staff and accomodations. more

This hotel is a lovely, older hotel, which is set far way from the "action" of Florence. It is feasible to walk to the more popular spots, but it's about a 20 minute walk at a fast pace. The hotel itself is set right across the street from gardens, and is in a peaceful and quiet location. I, for one,... more

This place is best described as a pleasant run upmarket B&B. It seems family run but the owners have a few properties, so it doesn’t quite have the personal touch. Then again, it is small and convenient, so it has a charm of its own. Breakfast was a bit poor and the wide variety of guests when we were there... more

I reserved a room at the Hotel Villa Carlotta without checking this website first. Once I had seen the various reviews posted, I regretted my reservation. Yet, having prepaid my first night, I really had no good alternative but to check in. I visited the Hotel Villa Carlota during the period between Christmas 2006 and 1 January 2007 with my... more

Villa Carlotta is in a beautiful setting near the Pitti Palace. It is approximately a 20 minute walk to the main sites in Florence center. The walk is very pleasant and through fabulous, non-touristy streets with great shops and restaurants. The hotel itself sits in a neighborhood filled with green trees, lush plants, and gorgous, private palazzos. The hotel's parking... more

Florence was a birthday treat, even at the end of February. A reasonable walk from the city centre, but even easier by the bus system (travel passes available at stations, news kiosks etc.). If you are used to European breakfasts they are fine, our bedroom was fine too. Having taken my birthday cards to open on the 28th Feb we... more
