The Villa is absolutely stunning and impeccably maintained. Its location in the hills gives you gorgeous views from all sides and the interior architecture, decor and historical artifacts are beautiful. It felt like a private residence most of the time because it wasn't so busy which was very nice. The staff were all so lovely, professional and very helpful.

The location means it's not very easy to leave or move around to the city without a taxi (which can end up being quite expensive!) - the taxis are better booked in advance at the front desk as they otherwise take a long time to secure. I recommend hiring a car if you intend to move around the city a lot.

Fantastic property, rooms, service/staff, pool area and great breakfast. We were a family of 4 that stayed in the junior suite room, sleeping two adults + one 5 year old in the main bed and 2 year old in a cot (that was available without any additional cost). In this room it was also an option to pay for preparing the sofa bed for sleeping. Our room had direct access to pool area. During a very warm period in Florence area, this was a perfect stay for us, a bit outside of the city of Florence. A few notes: - Possible to order in food in / take away (great for us having small children going to bed early). - You will need a car for a flexible stay here. Approx. 15 min by car to Florence.

Not much to note, but certain rules were a bit inflexible. We were not allowed to eat / drink food in large areas of the property (both indoors and outdoors). This even though the what you could buy to eat at the property was quite limited, and there was a lot of different sections with seating and tables around. This is a small change that would make the stay much more flexible for us and increase the impression further, especially travelling with kids.

Good location - 10 min. by car to Florence city center. Convenient access to the highway enables a lot of possible trips through Tuscany. Great, picturesque facility and hospitality of owners. If You search for high quality stay in a quiet area this one is really cool.

A bit of walking to the closest gastronomy (15-20 min.). On one side it's nice to stay a bit away from the village (Grassina) on the other You need to plan Your dinners - good to book a table in advance as in the high season it is really crowd☺.

The room was amazing and large. At least 12foot ceilings, matching tasteful furniture, reflecting the old villa nature of the hotel. Everything I expected for a hotel in such a famous area. The pool was great, breakfast was fresh, clean and very good.

Everything was really good, you will need to use a taxi or car to get around as it's on top of a hill if you want to go into town.

Beautiful hotel in a lovely location. The staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Easily one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Sitting by the pool with a refreshing glass of Chardonnay in the late Tuscan sun is as close to perfection that you can get

Great location to explore Tuscany. Take a taxi down to Florence for the day, drive to some of the nearby attractions such as Sienna or simply lie by the pool all day. This place is perfect. The staff were extremely helpful, suggested two fantastic restaurants and sorted the bookings for us. Just overall a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast is great, sets you up for the day before you go out searching for even more of the great food that exists in the region.

Nothing!

This is a beautiful property with great decor and style! The bedrooms are luxurious and comfortable. The outdoor pool and lounge area is very relaxing! The staff is very friendly and helpful!

We stayed during a hot week in July and the AC couldn’t go lower than 76 Fahrenheit so it was hard to cool down.

The staff were all very kind and accommodating, and were eager to help. The room was quite spacious and clean, and the pool and patio area was lovely! The breakfast and lunch were both phenomenal and tasted very fresh.

The only negative to this property is the location. It is a bit far from the city center of Florence, which requires that you take a taxi anytime you want to go into town. However, it was nice to be somewhere quiet and away from other tourists. Other than having to taxi into town to eat dinner, our stay was wonderful and I highly recommend the Villa!

The staff were absolutely wonderful and couldn’t do enough to welcome me. It was the best place I stayed across Europe due to their professional and courteous service. The room was great with lots of space and a big comfortable bed and the location was a welcomed peaceful rest from the hustle of the cities.

I would recommend using a car as there were issues with public transport and the taxis cost between $35-$50 Euro each trip.

Gorgeous facility, incredibly supportive staff, delicious breakfast, quiet sleeping, comfortable beds.

No real public transport options. Maybe motorized bicycle rental is an option but public bus in the dark is too far and dangerous. Staff willingly connected us with taxis and drivers but cost to downtown Florence was high as Bagno a Ripoli is technically over the city limits (roughly 25€ per ride).
