Old monastery converted to hotel. Beautiful property. A bit dated inside. Walls are paper thin. Excellent staff and breakfast. Convient bus ride into town

This is a great stay on the outside of Florence. Transportation into the city is convenient as there is a bus that takes you into the centre of Florence for €1.70/person. Food variety at breakfast was good and the hotel parking is convenient if you’re travelling by car. Overall had a very comfortable and welcoming stay, and would highly recommend to travellers who want to stay in a quiet area of Florence.

Quiet, but no frills at all

No any tea, coffee, hot or drink water, no fridge, no cups to drink Very poor breakfast.

Instalaciones muy antiguas, propiedad muy alejada de la parte céntrica de la ciudad, es bonito el lugar pero muy apartado. poco aislamiento sonoro de la pieza con el pasillo y se filtra la luz.

It goes above and beyond for the expectations for a 2 star hotel. Also it has free parking , which in Florence is great. Breakfast was good and varied. The area is beautiful, calm and silent, we really slept well and our room was warm in a cold winter night. It’s basic but what do you expect from a 2 star place? It has some common area in the outside, which is ok for summer. But it need means of transport for Florence, so if you go out at night you’ll have to take a taxi (20 euros). This place is best enjoyed if you have a car and you are not planning on drinking out.

Perfect stay!

Beautiful location. Decent room size. Firm beds. Lovely view of Florence. A little dorm-like but confortable. Just outside of the city (15 minute bus or taxi from central train station). Decent breakfast.

This “hotel” was more like a old hospital. The layout was super weird and did not resemble a hotel at all. The rooms were tiny and very basic, beds were extremely uncomfortable and there were no basic ammenities. Not even soap in the bathrooms. The location is around a 20 min bus ride out of the city - it’s a nice area but not close to anything. I really would not recconebd staying here to anyone

Pretty location. Helpful staff

Amazing property in a stunning area. Breakfast is delicious and varied. Come early for more food options, as some dishes are not replenished. Staff are amazing and accommodating. We were allowed early check-in at about 11:30 am which was very convenient. Thanks Alex, Luca, ...

Our room was very clean and smelled fresh. The staff was friendly and polite. The room had a pretty view.

Very nice location and view from property!

The staff at the property were good. Air conditioning is advertised but it was terrible and the room never cooled down even when left on permanently. You can hear everything with adjacent units to the side and above. Beds were terrible (noisy and old mattresses). There is no fridge or any kind of amenities common in a hotel room. The breakfast was okay with pastries and fruit and drinks. Worst stay during our trip across Italy.

Limited transport

Lovely hotel and surrounding area, very near to bus stop to get into town. Room was ideal and air con essential. Only issue I had was mosquitos in my room, if you’re going here I’d advise bringing bug spray. I didn’t and was bitten a lot.

A beautiful setting! It was a quiet and peaceful place to relax after exploring the hectic driving in Florence! The staff was exceptionally friendly and supportive.

Very nice and quiet place.

Simply the perfect quiet sanctuary setting we needed. Everything was perfect from our first encounter with the front desk, to a beautiful view from our prestige, comfortable room.

Room was extremely small, shower was not clean, very small. Overall experience was not pleasant.

Η παραμονη μας ηταν πολυ καλη.

Florence stay

Good hotel, next to Villa Cherubini Rehabilitation Hospital on the slopes above Florence. They serve typical delicious Italian Breakfast.

Close to the city but quiet. Great views.

I wasn’t interested in staying in the busy city. This hotel Was perfect for my needs. It’s a brief stroll to the No 7 bus which basically stops everywhere you’ll want in the city. In a pinch it’s walkable within 50 mins if you are in shape. The place is spotless and quiet. Situated in the hills. You can do a 7km hike up the mountain to a small village for amazing pizza and views. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Loved the hard boiled eggs and toast. The coffee machine makes everything you can imagine. They sell tickets for the bus at the front and even refunded me for unused tickets I turned in at the end of my trip. One warning: this place like every other place I’ve found in Italy doesn’t actually have laundry facilities onsite. You have to give your laundry to them for service.

Just on the outskirts, amazing view and very peaceful.

Calm peaceful area but still close enough to everything within a short drive. Walking distance to a few little cafes etc. Excellent parking with gated (at night) entrance, operated by a keypad so you can come and go as you please easily. No additional cost for parking.

Quiet and restful away from the city. Great staff. Excellent breakfast. Excellent pillows and mattresses. Wake to the sounds of the birds.

The location was extermely spectacular. The staff at the hotel were very helpful amd supportive, in addition to speaking English. As to the breakfast, was served daily and had met my expectations. I would definitely stay next time I visit.

The property is well managed by friendly and welcoming staff. Breakfast is excellent and the rooms are well kept, I appreciated the effort for an ecofriendly stay. Truly lovely for all, especially tourists and solo travelers.

Very kind staff, view is beautiful, room was cosy

Beautiful location close enough to the city, but tucked away from the busy streets. Room was basic but has all essentials and a comfortable bed. Staff were welcoming. I will be returning here on my next visit to Florence!

72 hours in Florence

Quick trip to visit my niece in art school in beautiful Florence

Is a very nice place away from the city quiet and peaceful. The only problem is the bus is just one and you have to wait for a long long time. Breakfast is great. I will go back again. Thank you

Unique property up in the hills. Glad I stayed here. After arrivingin Florence by train, I found a news stand across the street and purchased some bus tickets for 1.50 Euros (A pack of 10 for 14 Euros). Found the stop for bus #7 and was on my way.A scenic 20 minute ride left me at the base of the hotel. The next 50 uphill meters were a struggle, hauling 50 pounds of luggage in the midday heat, but it was worth it. Arrived at a beautiful property in a scenic setting. The staff was very polite and helpful. My room was great with a comfortable bed. The only downside was the small TV that got very few chanels. Breakfast was served at 7:30, and the early bird is rewarded with a great selection, but most food is replenished as guests arrive and some new and tasty treats showed up. I did walk to the nearby town further up the road and had a mixed experience eating at the pasta place on thr right side of town, maybe you will have better luck. Unfortunately my room did not have a view (313), but I would stay here again when I return to Florence.

we like that was very clean.

A lovely spot with wonderful hosts and staff.

Beautiful location

Great hotel with beautiful views over Florence. Easy connection on the bus to the centre (10 minutes). Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very basic but great coffee

We loved this place! The staff was amazing and made us feel very welcome! They even listened to our story when we came back from our long car ride from Rome saying that we got ENGAGED! They were amazing we will be coming back without a doubt. P.s. amazing views!

Not worth the money....

Not worth the money charged, very very basic room, no kettle or fridge. Not comfortable but room was clean. Very good breakfast and young lady at reception very helpful.Good WiFi, parking available. Close to public transport, bus stop 200m away from guest house. Bus takes you into city centre where all attractions are(30min) travel.

Quiet area and 2 minutes to get to a bus stop Wich brought us to main center of Florence

The hotel seemed to be straight out of the pages of the rich Florentine history,but with more modern present day amenities!It certainly felt like we were transported back in time- the library,which we just sort of stumbled upon,was the crowning jewel. The room itself was quite comfortable.Reception staff were helpful.

Great to have air conditioned room

Recommended choice

Charming, spotless property on the hills outside Florence with free parking. Only 15min (EUR 1.50) by frecuenta bus to downtown. Helpful staff, good breakfast, good wifi.

Like the look and feel of the property, reception staff was very helpful.

Marvelous place

Vila La Stella hotel is absolutely great. Excellent location, friendly staff, very clean with a fairly good breakfast.

Hotel has beautiful views of the area just outside of Florence.

Loved it

Beautiful place to stay

Fantastic Place to Stay

Everything was perfect .. Beautiful location, cleanliness , the views , the service .. Would highly recommend

Tranquil and beautiful place

This was a beautiful, peaceful place. The staff was very friendly. Very clean. The view of Tuscany was amazing. Would stay here again!!

Quiet stay on the outskirts of Florence.

We stayed just one night at Villa la Stella, but have stayed there once before and loved it. Located right off the bus line, the Villa is a few minutes ride from the old city. The rooms are clean and have enough space to not feel cramped. Bathrooms are clean with small showers typical of many hotels. The staff is helpful and friendly and speak English well. Breakfast includes breads, cheese, meats, pastries, and beverages, all very good. Ample parking is available if traveling by car. The views are gorgeous. It is a great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Fast checking friendly staff away from the city madness and the breakfast was excellent

comfortable family rooms - quiet

Amazing breakfast, great views, quiet

Nice hotel short walk to # 6 bus to Florence.Free parking, Wi-Fi and breakfast

Nice view, location on NE of Firenze/Florence.

If you know Tuscan culture, and are looking for a quiet, comfortable "base of operations" to see Firenze/Florence this is it. Drawbacks-Big old building, takes long time for water to heat up in upper floors, and limited supply if hotel is full. If hotel is full, parking is difficult, but available. Dining is limited, Fusion restaurant down the hill to the left, about 10 min walk, max. Traditional dining up the hill about 30 min walk. We used both, also got takeout food from Trattorri/Alimentarri (sic) and ate at the Villa. Positives-Clean, romantic, staff fluent in English and willing to help arrange tours, taxis and provide info. Excellent breakfast every day. If you drive, excellent starting point for road trips thru Firenze/Florence and Tuscany.

Florence hide away

Good room. Great view. Great staff that was friendly and spoke great English. Had lift/elevator that worked great, but once we got on our floor there were several short flights of stairs to get to our room. WiFi was somewhat iffy in the room... we connected in the lobby but then it worked fine when we got back to the room. No metro, only busses and they stop running around midnight.

Great place outside of Florence.

We stayed three nights and enjoyed the hotel. It is right off of a bus line for easy access to the city. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Very peaceful and quiet.

Nice hotel

About an hour walk to Florence city center. Breakfast was ok, fresh juice was great. Don't forget to eat or bring food back with you. There is not a lot of food chalices nearby.

Highly recommended

Clean and quiet, very easy to get to Florence (bus stop is 3 min walk, and bus is about 10-15 to San Marco). People were nice and helpful, The place is really cool base for exploring Florence, then come back at night and relaxing. Room is large and clean (we had 3 persons room).

cheap and just ok

Overall its ok. But i don't like the lack of safety, everyone passport is on sight at reception next to everyone's room keys. anyone can walk in and grab them. There is no safe in the rooms, Some of the doors to the room had a lot of play and could open with a solid push. Internet seems a little wonky or restricted. Parking was a nightmare if you came back to the hotel late, so small and to many cars. other option was to drive back out go all the way around the back and park in the staff area. Location tho was good if you have a car and want to drive around. price was good too. But rooms are paper thin, you can hear everything, security is non existing, i didn't feel at ease while staying there.

We had a great deck off the room. The staff was helpful. The room was cleaned each day. I have no complaints about the basic room.

Schöne Villa direkt aufn Berg. Ist ein bisschen außerhalb dafür aber mit tollen Blick. Der Bus 7 fährt direkt bis vor die Tür fasst. Wer wie wir zum Fußball möchte kann sogar hinlaufen. Frühstück war ok nichts besonderes aber da es im Preis mit drin ist sollte man sich nicht beschweren. Da wir nur zum schlafen dort waren reichten uns 4 Betten und Dusche /Bad von daher alles ok.

Die Beleuchtung macht depressiv. Aus dieser Immobilien kann man eigentlich mehr machen. Alles sehr trist

You need a car for this hotel

Schöne Aussicht aber vom Stadtzentrum zu weit weg um am Abend ein Gläschen Wein zu trinken.

Bien

El hotel está lejos del centro de Florencia pero para nosotros estuvo bien porque pudimos dejar siempre el auto en el estacionamiento y en la recepción nos vendieron el boleto del autobús al centro, saliendo del hotel está la parada y el transporte fue muy fácil. La atención en recepción fue muy buena y también la del desayunador, sin embargo las opciones para desayunar en su bufet son muy pocas.

Fantastique !!

Fantastique séjour à Florence et cet hébergement était aussi fantastique. Je recommande et j'y retournerai d'ailleurs la prochaine fois que je repars dans cette magnifique ville de Toscane

PLUS: Ruhige Lage über der Stadt Florenz Busanbindung in die Stadt Frühstück Quali-und Quantität für ital. Verhältnisse ok. Alle Fenster mit Mückennetz (top) MINUS: Sehr, sehr hellhörige Zimmer, man kann wirklich die Nachbarn reden hören und jede Klospülung, etc. Frühstücksraum sehr dunkel und Kantinenstil (2 lange Tischreihen) keine Klimaanlage die funktioniert

I have spent only one night in the villa. From outside, it looks exactly how you would expect an italian villa on the Florence hills to look like, elegant, sorrounded by green. The room was quite simple and from my room I could hear other guests speaking at night from the corridor. The breakfast is italian style (i.e. mostly sweets and some warm toasts).

Nel complesso tutto bene. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Letto comodo (ho apprezzato il doppio cuscino), ambiente ben riscaldato, buona colazione, comodo parcheggio e fermata autobus per il centro vicinissima. Unico difetto, ma per me importante, si sentiva troppo il rumore dell'apertura e chiusura delle porte delle altre camere anche oltre la mezzanotte e la mattina presto.

Situata nella zona collinare di Firenze, in un contesto naturale gradevole e silenzioso, e allo stesso tempo ben collegata al centro. Nel complesso un buon compromesso per un soggiorno in città a prezzi normali

Buon hotel pulito, personale gentile, buona colazione .Soggiorno gradevole . Unica cosa scomoda la posizione.

As the prices are very high in Florence these rates for a night are reasonable. But the standard is poor. Rusty parts in the bathroom. You can hear any noise of your neighbours (from sex-life to snoring). Breakfast is good but the breakfastroom reminds to an waitinghall at the trainstation. At Check-out no WiFi connection so nobody could pay their stay by card, only cash possible. Perfect bus-stop in max 100m (line 7 to Florence Station and Fiesole)

edificio d’epoca con ampio piazzale in una zona fuori dal centro storico. sebbene il fabbricato abbia caratteristiche d’epoca, l’interno (sala da pranzo, camere e soprattutto i bagni) appare il risultato di interventi di manutenzione vecchi e poco in armonia col contesto nel quale si trovano.

Struttura accogliente in mezzo ad un bel parco alberato, pulita e ben curata. Prezzo competitivo. Non fa ristorazione, ma solo prima colazione a buffet con molta varietà di scelta.

Die Villa ist in einer sehr schöne Gegend. Villen Gegend würde ich sagen.. Abseits vom Touristen Trubel. Mit dem Bus Nr. 7 ist man in ca. 25 Min in der Stadtmitte, und man kann alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß besichtigen. Alles in einem sehr schön gewesen! Wenn Sie mit dem Bus 7 bis zur Endstation Fiesola fahren, können Sie dort auch ein Archiologisches Museum, etc besuchen.. auch sehr interessant..

La Villa

Jeg likte tanken om å bo på et 'Villa'. Beliggenheten er typisk for Toscana, med høye trær rundt, oliventre i hagen og lyden av insekter. Bussholdeplass (buss nr. 7) rette utenfor hotellet. Rommet (rom 103) minnet meg litt om å bo på et gamlehjem. Toalettet og dusjen var som det var lagt for eldre eller hjelpetrengende personer, ellers rent og fint. Fantastikk front disk personal. Du få en 5 stjerners service. Vennlig og hjelpsom personal.

TRES MOYEN. MAUVAIS RAPPORT QUALITE PRIX

Très mauvais rapport qualité. PRIX EXAGÉRÉ AU VU DES PRESTATIONS. Chambre vieillissante, propreté très moyenne, de la chambre et de l’hôtel en général. CHAMBRE TRÈS MAL INSONORISÉE : nous pouvions entendre tout ce que disaient et faisaient les voisins (eux aussi du coup ! ) Petit déjeuner nul : mauvais fruits verts, le grille pain ne fonctionne pas mais ça ne dérange personne Pauline le personnel lorsque nous le signalons. Vaisselle dépareillée. Sur trois nuit nous avons eu du beurre qu’un seul jour ! ,,, le Beurre est distribué au compte goutte, ou absent, et lorsqu’on en réclame, on nous répond : nous attendons la livraison ! (?) TAXE DE SÉJOUR EXCESSIVE : 7€ par jour et par personne !! POINTS POSITIFS : nous avions une jolie vue sur Florence depuis la chambre, et nous avons pu stationner notre véhicule dans l’enceinte du joli parc de l’hôtel.

Udemærket stille hotel i udkanten af Firenze. Beliggenheden er god i forhold til byens travlhed og jag. Lidt langt afstand at gå til bymidten ,men det kan lade sig gøre, hvis man er vant til at gå meget. Udemærket morgenmad med nogenlunde udvalg uden at være prangende. Dejligt rent over alt, men et lidt slidt hotel.

ok

La struttura si trova un po’ distante dal centro, ma facilmente collegata dagli autobus, presente il parcheggio gratuito, la camera era spaziosa per due, il bagno era cieco e non aveva nessun modo di areare, l’aria condizionata è un po’ datata pertanto fa molto rumore, c’era la presenza di innumerevoli zanzare molto fastidiose, la zanzariera era rotta, c’erano diverse macchie anche sul muro poco belle, la colazione buona, ma non molto vasta, la sala per la colazione purtroppo si riempie subito e diventa molto rumorosa, i muri sono poco insonorizzati pertanto durante la notte abbiamo sentito il vociare dei nostri vicini di stanza, letto non troppo comodo direi che per una notte te la fai andare bene

beautiful environment, very friendly staff, clean rooms, the Italian breakfast is perfectly okay (unfortunately only cookies are offered as gluten-free items)

Das Zimmer ist sehr spartanisch eingerichtet, aber sauber. Das Badezimmer müsste dringend renoviert werden. WC spühlung defekt es läuft die ganze Zeit das Wasser. Der WC Ring ist gebrochen. Die Duschkabine ist kaputt. Das Bett ist unbequem und schient zusammen zu brechen. ( das eine Bettbein ist schräg) Das Zimmer ist seeeeehr ringhörig. Das Frühstück reicht soweit aus. Die Terrasse bietet einen schönen Ausblick. Ich kann es leider nicht weiter empfehlen.

Tres bien

Lugnt och bekvämt

Trevligt och lugnt ställe att bo vid vistelse i Florens. Fantastisk utsikt över staden. Rent men enkelt. Vi sov mycket bra här. Personalen var hjälpsam. Lätt att ta sig in till Florens med buss. Några trevliga restauranger i närheten.

Struttra molto grande, con parcheggio e a pochi minuti d'auto dal centro di Firenze. Il personale è gentile; colazione internazionale, puoi trovare dolce, salato e distributori di bevande calde e succhi di frutta. Il bagno è abbastanza grande, il letto e i cuscini comodi e le stanze sono poco insonorizzate. Unica grande pecca: nella nostra stanza non erano presenti le zanzariere e dato il caldo dello scorso weekend non abbiamo potuto non tenere la finestra aperta; abbiamo passato la notte a dar la caccia alle zanzare... guardando dalla finestra le altre stanze le avevano, quindi magari erano solo alcune quelle con questo "problema". Nel complesso è stato un buon soggiorno.

Hotel pulito ma da rinnovare

Tutto perfetto

Einfach aber ok. Ein Gästekühlschrank wäre super.

Edificio molto carino, accessibile e con una buona offerta a colazione. Peccato per il parcheggio sovraffollato.

Ottimo

Bella esperienza

Ce qui nous a déplu ce sont les autres clients qui parlaient fort jusqu’à 2h du matin sans aucun respect des autres

位置相对来说不是那么的方便，其余的地方都挺不错

Hotel con sentido

Tuvimos una linda estadía, el hotel era tal como las fotos, el desayuno era muy bueno y surtido. Nos encantó que parte de los ingresos fueran destinados a obras sociales

pulizia, precisione, ottimo qualità prezzo

Romantische Villa oberhalb von Florenz

Alte, rustikale und romantische Villa mit Parkplatz auf dem Gelände. Kleine Zimmer mit guten Betten. Bushaltestelle nur ca. 200m entfernt. Der Bus fährt bis zum Bahnhof Florenz - sehr gute Anbindung auch zum Flughafen. Die Villa liegt traumhaft ruhig oberhalb von Florenz und wer die Ruhe nach einem turbulenten Tag in Florenz schätzt ist hier genau richtig. Gutes Frühstück mit viel Auswahl. Für uns war die Villa la Stella perfekt um Florenz zu erkunden. Kleiner Tip - mit dem Bus Nr 7 der zur Villa fährt, einfach weiter fahren nach Fiesole - kleines Dorf mit herrlicher Aussicht auf Florenz

week end a Firenze

Soggiorno piacevole in camera con bella vista su Firenze anche se poco insonorizzata. Il bagno cieco e modestamente accessoriato (il box doccia assolutamente da ripensare) non rende giustizia alla camera. La struttura è vicina alla fermata dell'autobus che da Fiesole va in città. La receptioni ci ha venduto i biglietti. Colazione varia, con la parte dolce (molto buona) prevalente su quella salata.

Der Service war gut. Frühstück hätte etwas besser sein können

Molto bella

El Servicio del Hotel no es bueno. Las personas que son Clientes "Gold" para Hoteles.com normalmente tienen 2 horas mas temprano el Check in, o para el Check up dos horas mas tarde. Pues eso No lo respeta el Hotel.
