We are repeat visitors, as for us this is the most unique place to stay when visiting Florence. It's luxurious but not in the "5-star hotel chain" way. Don't expect bellboys, 24-hour room service, charging points, shower jets or pillow menus. Instead expect authentic character in each room, unobtrusive but friendly service, peace and quiet, and above all the best view of Florence. From here you can stay in quiet luxury, a short taxi-ride from central Florence but completely isolated from the crowds and noise. There is a great pool you can enjoy in summer months, with a simple menu (pizzas / salads / drinks) for a light meal. Be aware that the drive up/down the hill to get to the hotel is somewhat scary for those not accustomed to very narrow streets with hairpin corners - if you encounter a car going the other way, there will be some reversing to find a spot to pass. For this reason we found it most convenient to leave our car at the hotel during our stay, and use taxis to get to/from central Florence.
