On a luxurious two week tour of Italy, Villa La Vedetta is the third hotel we have stayed at. Upon being driven up to the villa we were pleasantly surprised by the loveliness of the villa and the view of Florence. However everything afterward was disappointing. The room (although we booked in the spring) was not overlooking Florence but instead... more

We had our wedding reception at this hotel and it was fantastic. The hotel is a gem set in a pretty garden in a lovely quiet location away from all the hustle and bustle with breathtaking views of the city but just a 10-15 minute walk to the centre and main attractions. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, the... more

Villa la Vedetta has one of the most beautiful hotel views I have ever seen. To sit on the terrace looking out over the roof tops of Florence was magical both by day and night. We had a lovely stay in this small but well appointed hotel. The pool area had plenty of chairs and a shady bar area and... more

I took my Mum here for her 60th birthday present. We stayed 5 nights and thought the hotel was marvellous. The staff were extremely helpful but not at all intrusive – they even left a cake in our room for Mum’s birthday. Our room was huge, and we had fabulous views from 3 windows over Florence. Breakfast was excellent –... more

Absolutely amazing! Since we were celebrating a special anniversary we were upgradet to a suite. This luxury deluxe suite with view of Florence was confortable, spacious and very well appointed. The marble bathroom was amazingly roomy with deep Jacuzzi tub. The service was courteous and professional and they treated us as if we were the most important guest they had.... more

We are still travelling around europe and are visiting many hotels....but we really miss La Vedetta. It has been so far the best hotel we hqve ever stayed in.. the location is simply breathtaking and the staff is beyond your expectations. When you arrive a friendly smile will always be there greeting you and then they will just greet you... more

I think that after having visited hundreds of hotels all around the world this beats them all....besides the position which is absolutely unique, you get to see all Firenze from the hotel, the service, the staff and the restaurant are way over the top. We will definitely be back soon. more

Whilst the views were phenomenal, our stay in this hotel was marred by the fact that our room smelt of raw sewerage and the shower would not drain causing our bedroom to flood. They were VERY reluctant to relocate us, instead promising that they would have maintenance look at the issue. I'm not convinced if anyone actually did anything other... more

We stayed at La Vedetta during our Florence wedding and honeymoon in Sept '06 and simply loved it! The views were spectacular and so were the grounds. The staff was super friendly, the room was outstanding and clean. We had dinner that was truly art. more
