Sonia

I stayed at this location because the description of the hotel said it had an airport shuttle, but when I tried to book it, they said they didn’t have one. I had to get a taxi for about €45. If you are traveling by public transportation from Florence, this is not an easy place to get to so I wouldn’t recommend it.

Clean room, very clean bathroom. Elevator could use updating, but room had AC so I was grateful for that since I had a long hot travel day. Convenient location to airport. Would recommend for a quick overnight stay if you have an early flight!

Lovely

Its a lovely hotel. Only hotel that gave me complimentary water. Breakfast buffet was fabulous. Staff attended to me promptly. Rooms are neat and big and the ambience is very welcoming. Only issue is the distance. Its located along the highway on the outskirts of town. I cant say its worth the distance (1hr 30mins from town) but its a lovely hotel
