By far, the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The entire grounds, rooms, and staff were beyond what one could imagine. This hotel deserves its own rating as I really don't believe 5 stars describes it well. Location to Florence was a bonus but it was really hard to put the energy together to leave this hotel. The staff treat you like family and go above and beyond what i have experienced in other 5 star hotels. The only bad part was leaving.

Great restaurant, awesome service in the restaurant and overall. Hotel is dated, pool cold and not heated. Suggested management invests into a pool heater so kids can enjoy the pool cause water was freezing. Rooms need updating badly. In room only tub, no shower. Remote quite area outside the city, tranquil and peaceful. Very relaxed atmosphere. Again, restaurant staff incredible, gourmet menu, great breakfast. Will definitely return but without kids. Highly recommend.

El peor servicio en un restaurante que he tenido.
Es realmente decepcionante que un hotel con una infraestructura fantástica y una locación de película, tenga una atención y servicio tan pibes en su restaurante. Los meseros fueron absolutamente desatentos: la botella de vino que compré nunca fue servida en copa, los platos una vez finalizados nunca fueron retirados de la mesa y la cuenta tuve pararme y desplazarme hasta la caja para poder tenerla. Parece mentira que un lugar como este arruine la experiencia de viaje con un equipo tan desatento y pobre en servicio en su restaurante.

Amazing grounds, but lacking
Gorgeous property and amazing staff. However, be advised that the ACs don’t cool the rooms below 78-79 degrees Fahrenheit. Breakfast was okay but the view from the dining room was breathtaking. Dinner was a huge disappointment, trying to be too fancy and forgot about flavor and that they are in Italy. The grounds are immaculate and the staff, though very understaffed, were very attentive. Tamara did the best she could to accommodate us. I would not recommend this place in the summer, maybe fall or spring. And don’t waste your time or money in the restaurant, go in to Florence where there are many great restaurants
