Castello-prato Holidays

Big room, nice location. Many amenities. Dated decor in rooms. Geared toward a younger crowd.

This hotel is on a sketchy alleyway in A good overall location very close to palazzo echo, uffizi and ponte vecchio. The breakfast is very average. The hotel is tiny so breakfast room is the tiny lobby and you sign up for a breakfast shift. There is an elevator but this hotel is not for you if you cannot do any stairs. There are small steps in the lobby and on my floor - two - i had to go up or down five steps to get to my room. But it’s very affordable and that is very hard to find in the historic center of Florence. My only huge objection is the wifi which is a joke. You get kicked off a lot especially at night. I counted 14 times one night between 10-1030pm. I talked to them about it but they can’t do anything. Owners need to step up and improve this. Found it infuriating.

Hands down the best place we have stayed. They accommodated to go breakfasts for our tours, arranged taxis, made cappuccino when we were heading out the door. Wonderful experience

Incredible off-season stay. The breakfast each morning was incredible. So much better than any other hotel I’ve stayed at. Fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room was amazing. The Villa itself is a renovated Renaissance property and all around are little reminders of its glorious past. We were too early for the pool (starts in June) but I have a feeling that’s why we got such a great deal. The views from the decks are incredible and it’s close to Florence. The roads are windy and narrow, so be careful! But one of the roads down from the Villa revealed a spectacular view of Florence. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Would gladly return.

Beautiful and good value
