FH55 Hotel Villa Fiesole

FH55 Villa Fiesole Hotel is a true gem above Florence — stylish, quiet, and with unbeatable views over the city. The location strikes the perfect balance between peace and proximity: a few minutes from Florence’s center but surrounded by nature and calm. The hotel’s atmosphere feels elegant yet relaxed, and the rooms are tastefully designed to match the Tuscan setting. Breakfast on the terrace is a highlight, especially thanks to Nicola, who elevates the entire experience. He’s exceptionally guest-oriented, multilingual, and unfailingly polite. His professionalism and warmth make every morning feel personal and refined — rare service even in top hotels. Highly recommended for anyone wanting authentic hospitality, great style, and unforgettable views of Florence.

Villa Fiesole Hotel is absolutely beautiful — peaceful, elegant, and perfectly located with stunning views over Florence. It’s the ideal place to unwind while staying close to the city’s culture and energy. The atmosphere is warm and refined, and every detail feels carefully looked after. A special mention for Nicola, who adds a genuine human touch to the stay. He’s attentive, kind, and easy to talk to, switching languages naturally and always noticing what guests might need. At breakfast, he creates a calm and pleasant start to the day, remembering small details that make people feel cared for. His presence changes the mood — when he’s there, the room feels lighter and guests seem more relaxed. When he’s not, you can tell something’s missing. Villa Fiesole is already exceptional, but Nicola makes it feel personal.

I cannot say enough about how attentive and friendly the staff was. Staying here really felt like a luxury experience. My favorite part was breakfast every morning on the beautiful terrace overlooking Florence. We had a group of five friends and Niccola memorized all our coffee orders and gave us champagne on our last morning. The pool is a lovely retreat, but just sitting on the terrace drinking wine or an Aperol spritz was fantastic. Fiesole is about a 15 minute walk away and fun to explore though you do have to walk along a busy road. We loved the restaurants in town and don't miss the Convent San Francesco at the top of the hill. Staying up here was a nice escape from busy Florence, but it's easy to get a cab or take the shuttle into town.

We stayed at FH55 Hotel Villa Fiesole from 30 September to 4 October 2025 as a group of six adults and one seven-month-old baby. From the moment we arrived after our transfer from Rimini, we were greeted by the spectacular Francesca, who immediately set the tone for a wonderful stay. She handled our check-in across three rooms with ease, ensured our baggage was delivered, and invited us to relax on the patio overlooking Florence with cocktails and snacks before we explored Fiesole for dinner. Every return to the hotel was met with a warm welcome that made us feel completely at home. Our rooms were spacious, clean, well furnished, and very comfortable. Each room came with soft robes and slippers, a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more relaxing. The housekeeping team was impressively prompt. By the time we returned from breakfast each morning, our rooms had already been serviced and refreshed. One of our rooms had a minor issue with the shower that could not be fully repaired until the final day. While we were able to work around it by using the other two rooms, Francesca kindly credited the couple in that room for one night without us even asking. That gesture spoke volumes about the care and service provided here. Breakfast each day was a treat. The staff seated us on the outdoor patio, where we enjoyed a great variety of food in a relaxed setting. The breakfast crew, front desk team, and housekeepers greeted us each morning with friendly smiles and warm conversation. This daily hospitality added a personal and welcoming feel that we truly appreciated. One afternoon we took advantage of the beautiful warm pool, set in a peaceful, scenic area that overlooks the hills and Florence beyond. The pool area felt private and serene, perfect for a quiet break during busy travel days. One evening, we ordered room service and enjoyed a relaxed dinner in our rooms, which was both convenient and delicious. A highlight of our stay was a private winery and olive producer tour arranged by Francesca. The drive in a vintage Land Rover through the beautiful countryside, combined with the scenery, wine tasting, and olive oil selections, created an unforgettable experience. Another example of the staff’s care was their help in navigating regional and national transportation strikes that occurred during our visit. Thanks to their guidance and quick assistance, we were able to keep our ambitious travel plans on track. FH55 Hotel Villa Fiesole is not just a beautiful hillside retreat with incredible views of Florence. It is a place where the staff goes above and beyond to ensure guests feel welcomed and cared for. Francesca and her team turned what could have been an ordinary stay into a memorable and enjoyable experience. We look forward to returning on our next visit to Tuscany. Rating: 5/5 If you are looking for a stay near Florence that combines comfort, hospitality, and a sense of personal care, this hotel is an excellent choice.

I believe this hotel deserves a five. The views of the city are remarkable. The service is impeccable and the rooms are clean with all the amenities one would expect. Nicholas was without a doubt, the best hotel host I have ever experienced in all my years. He and his staff constantly went out of their way to provide one on one personal service. From putting on dance music at night to greeting us in the morning with fresh food and champagne. I highly recommend a stay at this hotel above the city of Florence.

Amazing boutique hotel in the picturesque Fiesole looking down Florence. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Rooms were spacious and clean. Great breakfast but most of all the terrace where food was served was amazing. I loved every minute of staying in this hotel. Easy access to Florence centre by shuttle bus offered free by the hotel. Staff were amazing. Starting from the receptionist, J, who tried to learn few words in Greek to make us feel home 😊. Nicolas and a lady at breakfast (my bad did not ask the name) were super nice, polite and friendly. I was impressed by the lady who was well prepared knowing her guests and their country of origin! Nicolas was great with taking care of my little one with her fresh juice. I am definitely going back to this property.

This place was perfect if you want to be close to Florence. It was Very peacefula d picturesque. We Had an issue with our room but staff was very attentive on every level. The view of Tuscany is beautiful. The rooms are small but clean. I would suggest renting a car if you plan on leaving the hotel. The shuttle times book up and we spent a lot of extra money in taxis. |Beautiful trip and would definitely recommend this place for the $$$|Shout out to Gianni and the rest of the staff for accommodating all of our needs.

Fabulous location with far reaching city views yet far enough away to feel like you’re in the country. The rooms were tastefully decorated with everything you need including daily complimentary water. The bed was firm but with a memory foam topper and we slept like logs.|On arrival we’d missed lunch but the staff couldn’t do enough to make our arrival special, setting up a table and providing a tasty and plentiful lunch. Breakfast was delicious and varied and lunches simple and tasty. Reception staff were readily on hand to help with taxis and we fully utilised the complimentary city shuttle transport every day. Nothing was too much trouble and my special thanks go to Francesca for all her help. Fiesole once rivalled Florence as the capital of Tuscany and is a few minutes drive to visit the archeological site, Medici villa and wonderful trattorias not to mention gorp at the enormous villas in the locale that clearly show Fiesole is the most affluent suburb of Florence.|A superb week, excellent service, attentive staff, beautiful setting and swimming pool. Can’t recommend highly enough!
