A hotel that is deteriorating
Pros:

Location is perfect besides the fact that it is far from the city center. There is no shuttle bus offered by the hotel to go to the city center, you need a cab which costs around 20€ each way.

Cons:

Despite the high price, they gave us a room that was adapted for disabled people (good thing it exists) but it was not functional for us, espthe bathroom where we couldn't not perform our personal needs. Besides that we asked some french fries for our child which was 10€ and they added 25€ as a change for room service and this was scandalous for us.

Villa Tolomei Hotel & Resort – A Tuscan Postcard
Pros:

Villa Tolomei Hotel & Resort – A Tuscan Postcard

Summary 🥒
This stay felt like escaping to a Tuscan postcard. A grand countryside villa with huge suites, peaceful nights, and sweeping hill views, Villa Tolomei delivers old-world charm with modern comforts. Not perfect on the little luxury extras, but overall a very pleasant (and quiet!) pickle-worthy stay just outside Florence.

P – Price 💰
✅ €315 for a Royal Suite felt like strong value for the size and setting
❌ Can jump to €500+ per night, which shifts expectations
Score: 👌 Half Pickle

I – Infrastructure & Integrity 🏗️
✅ Spotlessly clean, everything works, very quiet countryside location
❌ Shower could be hotter; heating unit slightly noisy
Score: 🥒 Full Pickle

C – Comfort & Practicality 🛏️
✅ Massive room, excellent bed, great mirrors, good Wi-Fi, large bath
❌ Small TV for such a large suite; toilet paper single-ply
Score: 🥒 Full Pickle

K – Kindness 🤝
✅ Warm, helpful staff who handled everything from check-in to ironing boards
❌ Lacked a real “wow” or emotional extra-mile moment
Score: 👌 Half Pickle

L – Luxury & Little Touches ✨
✅ Robes, slippers, heated towel rack, rain shower, quality towels
❌ Minimal welcome gifts, no pillow menu or minibar perks
Score: 👌 Half Pickle

E – Experience 🌄
✅ Beautiful villa setting, terrace views, pool & gym, peaceful luxury vibe
❌ Outside the city (taxi needed); no spa or rooftop bar, dull breakfast with paid extras

Score: 👌 Half Pickle
🏆 Final Score: 3.5 out of 6 Pickles
🥒🥒🥒👌

A refined countryside escape with space, silence, and style — just don’t expect the pickle jar to be overflowing with surprise extras.

Best stay in Florence
Pros:

Villa Tolomei was a happy surprise for all of us when we arrived. The apartment was very spacious, clean and comfortable. It really deserves 10. The staff are great especially Dina who took great care of us when we were enjoying the great breakfast they offer.
A tiny advice,,to reach the location don't follow the GPS, follow the instructions they send you.
We will definitely choose no where else in our next visit to Florence.

Cons:

No internet connection in the rooms in our apartment. But it is good to disconnect sometimes

Oasis in Firenze
Pros:

Villa Tolomei is a serene retreat nestled in the hills just beyond the lively rhythm of Florence—close enough to soak in the city’s charm, yet far enough to enjoy peaceful seclusion. While the estate itself is undeniably grand, it’s the exceptional staff that truly elevate the experience. From the attentive front desk to the meticulous housekeeping team, every detail is handled with care and warmth. The breakfast spread is generous and diverse, catering to all tastes. We’ve been loyal guests for years, and there’s no doubt we’ll be back again.

Nice place for a relaxed time
Pros:

The room was comfortable. Breakfast was good but not out of the ordinary. The masseuse was a very nice person and accommodated us even though there was hardly any time available. Unfortunately we could only get a foot massage due to lack of time, but next time I am sure it will be better.
