Villa Tolomei Hotel & Resort - Florence

A shuttle bus up and down the hill would make this hotel even better. The bus only ran once an hour and not into the evening and taxi's were expensive. The hotel, pool and staff were excellent! We were torn between spending time by the pool and sight seeing in Florence. Overall an excellent hotel! 5 star! Worth the half hour walk up the hill.

Excellent hotel,great service , highlly recommended.

A beautiful location not far from the city centre but set on a piece of land that overlooks part of the city. Room was amazing and breakfast was great. If you are driving - leave your car and catch a taxi as you cannot park in the city area except on Sunday's. The drive up from the main road has you looking at a building 500 years old and the frescoes on the wall and the detail in the furnishings are very good. Would happily stay here again.

We loved our stay. The service was excellent, and the villa itself was beautiful, with original art in the halls, high on a hill outside of Florence, and we got a great deal at the very last minute on your website. We booked the room at 5 pm and took a taxi there, arriving at about 6 pm the same night. The room was better than what we expected. (We were abandoning an apartment we had rented in the city. It had been a nightmare.) It is a walk to get to the city, or a ten euro taxi ride. We sometimes walked down the hill and took a cab back up after dinner. There is a cab stand about a fifteen minute down the hill from the hotel, so it is easy to walk part way and cab the rest of the way.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Great dinner, great pool, pristine room, and outstanding service from Serena and the entire staff.
