Torre DI Bellosguardo

It is simply a wonder. A lifetime experience.

Exeptional experience . The location, the villa everything

Nothing

This is one gorgeous spot!! The grounds are beautiful. The view is jaw dropping. The rooms are suites, each different. We had a living room, king sized bedroom and a large bathroom with bathtub and shower. The view from the window were panoramic of the city below. You CAN technically walk to town from this hilltop, but it is a rutted dirt road for 15 minutes, then through a gate onto a side street. It took us about 35-40 minutes to reach the Duomo. Breakfast was very good with a variety of American and European choices. There is no restaurant on site, but they will order in dinner from a restaurant in town that they have an agreement with. (we did not) There is a “24 hour bar.” It is actually the desk person who will make you a drink whenever/ whatever you’d like. He offered us a drink and some meats, cheeses, nuts on arrival. The staff was attentive and somewhat formal, but very accommodating with restaurant suggestions, taxi bookings, help with train schedules. This is a slice of heaven in Florence and worth every penny.

Nothing

The hotel building and grounds were just beautiful. And the view of Florence was out of this world.

There were no tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms. We continually had to ask for hot water to make a cup of tea. The staff did oblige however. One lady who tended the pool area was extremely rude and unhelpful unless you were spending constantly pool side. This it at odds with the rest of the staff who were just delightful and obliging.
