Ville Sull'Arno

We stayed for a week at the end of August. Everything about Villa Sull’Arno was excellent. It is immaculately clean, the staff are really friendly, the pool area is lovely for a refresh. The massage and spa well worth the time. The restaurant breakfast was exceptional and the evening meals excellent. We had a river view room with a balcony.||The hotel is about a 35min walk along the river to the City or the hotel has a free shuttle bus, which is great. We enjoyed the walk which is very picturesque.||As an alternative to the hotel restaurant we found the Jazz Cafe which is down the road opposite the hotel (across the road) which made a nice change.||We wholeheartedly recommend Villa Sull’Arno.

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights and 4 days at the end of July and had the most wonderful time!! |We went for my partners birthday and the restaurant and food was sensational! So good we ate there every night! ||Breakfast was lovely and a good selection! Rooms were immaculately clean. Staff super friendly and couldn’t do more! ||The personal highlight for us was the Spa area. The indoor pool was incredible and so relaxing! ||We would 100% recommend this hotel and stay to everyone. We cannot wait to return!

Fantastic 3 night mini-moon at this superb hotel. Spa and the outdoor pool was a dream and a great way to refresh after a busy day sampling the delights of Florence. We stayed in a villa with a river view and it was well worth the extra money, that, and the best most fresh breakfast I've ever had in a hotel - honey straight from the comb....yes please! Staff were lovely too and very helpful, as was the regular shuttle into the city if the 25 minute stroll along the river was just a step too far. A highlight of our trip. We will be back.

The vintage furnishings is amazing. The outdoor pool also great perfect place to have the whole day sun. And the view to the arno river perfect! I stayed there with my dog and everything was really easy. I could go to the main pool without any problems. I really recommend this place.

Service staff was friendly and helpful. The room was quant and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious, although an up charge . If you prefer to head out a bit later in the day - highly recommend staying in for the breakfast. The pool was nice and I appreciated the bar for a quiet hour inside or outside. It’s a quick taxi ride to all we did. The only downside at this hotel was our dinner dining experience. The service was sub par and the food was expensive and the chef missed the mark in my opinion. Overall, highly recommend staying here, we will definitely stay again.

The hotel is beyond stunning with so much attention to detail and located within walking distance of the city, although they also offer a free shuttle to and from the city at certain times of the day, which you have to prebook your space on. We used this service almost daily and it was a welcome alternative to walking in the forty degree heat!! The hotel staff were all charming and pleasant and extremely helpful and the food was also of the highest quality. Loved every second of my stay in the Ville Sull’arno and can’t recommend it highly enough or thank the staff enough…will definitely be going back at some point in the future. Simply stunning

This place is a hidden gem, a little outside of the main city area but they offer bikes & shuttles so it’s not a problem. Incredible rooms, food and service from start to finish. Get the Breakfast included! Cocktails are a tad expensive but worth it 😁 We will be back.

This hotel was perfect for our requirements. Romantic, a little bit out of town, with all the facilities we require. The receptionist Claudia was so helpful throughout our stay. Our flight home was cancelled and the hotel quickly ensured we had a room for our additional time. The food was outstanding. Breakfast choice and quality blew us away. We did have dinner one night and this was perfect. A big shout out to Adrian for helping us choose a,great wine for our meal. Not sure what else to say. We loved the hotel, the staff and quality of everything. The shuttle service is a great option if like us, your feet are aching. Thank you again to Claudia. My wife and I will always remember your kindness and help.

Fantastic comfortable hotel. I've stayed at the famous hotels of the area that cost a fortune. This isn't a budget hotel by any means but they totally get it. The bed was comfortable, the room quiet with no extraneous lights. Shower was amazing though the curtain set up let water splash out but no biggie. 30 minute walk to Florence. (I love walking in Europe as much as i can). There is a bike path as well with loaner bikes for free. The hotel has shuttle service as well. Staff was just so friendly and all spoke enough English and didn't mind my attempts at italiano. Mille grazie Ville Sull'Arno!

Simply a dream on the River Arno with all the ingredients to create your own fairy tale. The reception staff and concierge were particularly top notch and hospitable. Every single employee we encountered from the valets to the spa staff to the cleaning staff to the restaurant and lounge staff were uncommonly professional and hospitable. I can't praise and thank them enough. I traveled with my precious dog who was greeted and treated like royalty. The property itself is understated elegance at its very zenith. Our room with daybed and claw footed tub was regal. The bathroom extravagant with heated towel rack and bidet. The entire property was pristinely clean. If I ever return to Florence my stay will be at the unique and unparalleled home away from home, Ville sull'Arno.

We were not planning on staying here, but we ended up staying here for our first night in Florence because of a mixup at another hotel. What a treat! The building did not look great from outside. Neither was the lobby. However, the rest of the hotel was great. I loved the ambience of the restaurant. Very classy. We enjoyed our dinner on the patio/courtyard. Contrary to what another reviewer said, this hotel is not close to the city center, the major landmarks. You could walk, but I would rent a bicycle (as another reviewer pointed out) or take a cab to save time. The best part of my stay was their breakfast. It was by far the most luxurious buffet style breakfast I've ever had in my life. It was almost like the restaurant was made of food (I will post a couple of photo when I find them). I have only stayed at three different hotels in Florence, but I cannot think of any other hotel but Ville sull'Arno for my next trip to Florence. Five stars, literally, as good as it gets!

I really enjoyed this place. Very clean lots of amenities ..I would stay here again , we had a room by the water a little on the small side ..very nice bathroom and tub

One of the best places to stay in the world. Accommodating, beds are great. Showers and baths are excellent, and use of a spa type pool imitating the blue grotto in capri, and a steam room with perfumed showers afterwords. I was in complete heaven and joy. And the views at the arno in our room - wonderful. Hats off to Julia and Stella in reception. Both are stellar at helping us. Accommodating us, and getting us what we needed. One of the best days of four nights in my life. My wife and I really appreciate it. They arranged a cooking lesson in the restaurant that was one of the best experiences of our two weeks in Italy. Hats off to you both. I also took a bike out which was really wonderful. The only thing is make arrangements for the shuttle, which are limited to times and schedule and done by a third-party. So confirm and reconfirm and get their phone number. Take a taxi it's about €10. Depends on time of day and night as there are surcharges so it could be eight your room, or it could be 18 at 11 PM. Who cares, they know their way and are very accommodating.

Loved our stay in this marvelous hotel. It is a little distance from city center, but the hotel is large by Florence standards and the breakfast is wonderful. Staff is very helpful and the Spa is just amazing. Great place to stay.

I recently reviewed as a 5 star, but it deserves to go down for something that happened on the last day. My step mum have severe gluten allergy and there was a lot of products on the gluten free list that contained a big amount of it, when we talked to the kitchen manager they smiled and barely gave the importance needed. Really great hotel. They have shuttle to Florence center for free, you do need to make a reservation. Breakfast is not included but has a pretty good selection. A great part is that they offer a free router hotspot for you to take with you for the day that works great and fast. I recommend!!

Very nice hotel. Husband and I had a room by the water. Rooms have a vintage, rustic feel but with modern amenities. Staff was friendly. Dont pay for the breakfast. Not worth it. There are bakeries a few blocks away. It was a nice hotel BUT its far away from the city center and main attractions and eateries. While we liked it We recommend staying closer to the center of the city.

Loved this hotel. Best one I have stayed in in Italy. Service is truly impeccable. Bikes are free. Food is amazing. Room was comfortable and unique. Great stay!

Absolutely lovely villa in Florence with outstanding service. Designed so nicely and so much more comfortable then staying in the center of Florence. More space and restaurant is fantastic as well. The walk to the center of Florence is easy and we found it so nice to be a little removed from everything. Very quiet area and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Loved our stay here. Their rooms are great and decorated well. Beds were comfy. The staff is very nice and helpful. The location is great as its right on the river and not far from the main center. We had breakfast included and that was great. Staff is hard working. The lack of one star is because we had a couples massage and the therapists were horrible. They do have good amenities in their spa though if you want to use their soaking baths. Great boutique hotel. I would stay here again.
