Great stay. Staff were super friendly. A real oasis of calm and relaxation in a busy city.
Pros:

Room was a decent size with a great view. Pool was refreshing. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Pool could have been cleared of pine needles more often.

We feel at home, welcomed and well cared for at the Park Palace, and guests reflect that feeling.
Pros:

This was our third stay at the Park Palace. We stayed for five days and the management kindly booked me into a beautiful quiet room with a view. The breakfast, as always, offered excellent choices that we ate on the verandah. This is also where we took an evening drink and charcuterie board when we were too tired to go out to dinner. The staff are warmly attentive in every way. And it was a delight to walk back up quiet Via di San Leonardo to the treed garden, a friendly welcome, and a cool swim in the pool.

Cons:

We still miss the offer of a simple evening meal from years ago when the Park Palace Hotel offered a hot dinner to its guests. This was very popular with families like ours. Sadly, that has gone. At least there is a generous cold charcuterie cheese board on offer, but a wider range of dishes would be helpful for travellers who are too tired to go out.

Heerlijk!
Pros:

Heerlijk hotel in de heuvels van Firenze. Aardig en behulpzaam personeel en een fijne, relaxte sfeer. Het ontbijt was goed qua eten. De kamers waren ruim.

Cons:

Zou fijn zijn als er een kleine kaart wat betreft eten is, dat is wel zo prettig. Nu kan je, op een paar kleinere (overigens prima) hapjes na, niet een maaltijd eten. De badkamer is iets gedateerd. Een mengkraan zal al veel helpen.

Opulent, quiet and graceful.
Pros:

A fabulous location set back from the city. Authentic villa tastefully decorated with original antiques. Quiet, peaceful and the perfect tonic from the hustle and noise of Florence .

Formidable
Pros:

Propriété magnifique
Très belle bâtisse
Petit jardin et piscine agréable
Personnels adorables et aux petits soins
Très propre
Et petit déjeuner (en terrasse c’est formidable et à l’ombre) exceptionnel! Beaucoup de choix et très bon

Cons:

Si vraiment on devait émettre une petite réserve c’est la montée de la côte à pied pour retourner le soir à l’hôtel
Mais il faut mieux tout faire à pied à Florence actuellement (beaucoup de travaux et les bus ne passent pas forcément…)
Mais comme cela on fait un peu de sport pour encore mieux profiter du petit déjeuner 😉

Pros:

Ruhige Lage, 20 min Fußweg in die Stadt, Busanbindung vor dem Eingang, großes Parkgrundstück, reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet, Ladestation vorhanden

Cons:

Nur kleine Schönheitsfehler wie z.B. tropfender Wasserhahn etc. Aber nichts, was den Aufenthalt wirklich beeinträchtigt hätte

Florenz-Aufenthalt in einer schönen Villa mit Pool
Pros:

Der Aufenthalt in dieser schönen historischen Villa hat uns sehr gefallen. Der Garten mit seinen alten Bäumen und die Terrassen waren toll und einladend. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war vielseitig. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sehr sauber.

Cons:

Leider gibt es nur eine kleine Karte und somit ist man gezwungen sich zum Essen ein Restaurant zu suchen. Fußläufig ist jedoch keines bequem erreichbar.

Retreat out of centre, but still walkable to all the sites , need to pack a different adapter!!
Pros:

Faded glory hotel , lovely pool and outside terrace, comfortable bed , good breakfast, staff were friendly and helpful, chilled quite retreat away from the tourist traps of Florence.

Cons:

Most of the plugs are old style so difficult to use charges etc , a bit dated decor, a bit out of centre, so quite a walk , (30 minutes plus) but does make it quite and relaxing, weather wasn’t great so unable to use pool (not blaming hotel for weathering!!)

Perfect tranquil oasis in a bustling city
Pros:

This hotel was such a shady, tranquil oasis away from the madness of central Florence. It’s very well served by buses though so you can get down into town pretty quickly. We had the most beautiful view from our room right out over the Tuscan hills (room was Fiesole). The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful and the breakfast was absolutely superb. There are two superb restaurants within a five minute walk of the hotel. They are called Chalet Fontana and La Terrazza Del Principe and both have beautiful Tuscan views and do wonderful food.

Cons:

There wasn’t really anything that we didn’t like. Make sure you bring a Type L electric plug adapter as there was only one socket in the room that took the usual European two prong plugs. Type L has three round prong in a row.
