This is truly an undiscovered spot. Very quiet and great view of the city. If you Must have AC don’t stay here. They do have a ceiling fan and a floor fan for both bedrooms so it wasn’t bad even at temps in the 90’s. It’s about a 15 minute taxi ride to the city so it’s not bad and will cost you between $25 and $30 Euro. Make sure you have cash. It was very safe and a real treat. The menu for dinner was surprisingly good and was very affordable.

The couple that run this business are absolutely lovely! If you want breakfast it will be delivered to your room at the time of your choosing. It was great. The rooms are super clean and comfortable. Any questions, or directions, the owners are there to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We wanted a car to take us to Arezzo and they took care of that for us. Plus, you can't beat the location! This was a real find and we highly recommend it.

Very nice to get out of the noise and crowds of Florence. They arranged taxis into town every day. The view of Florence from the bar and restaurant terraces is spectacular.

A picturesque, quiet and opulent place to stay whenever visiting Florence. The view of Florence is excellent, the food is good and access to both Florence and nearby fine dining is convenient. Our "go to" place near Florence since 2012, and it will remain so.

Italian charm at its best!
Just the most wonderful and truly Italian hotel overlooking Florence. It is so tranquil, a magical place, and the perfect place to relax on the terrace, with a drink watching the glitter of the city lights after the hustle and bustle of the day.. The staff could not do enough to make sure our stay was perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel full of Italian charm.

3 day stay.
Our room at the pensione was fairly large, a bit tired, with a wardrobe, nice bathroom, and a killer view of Florence. After we had checked into our room we realized the air conditioning was not working ( it was hot ). We advised reception and were told that half the air system was not working and that the next day we would be able to change rooms. It would have been nice if they had told us up front that the air wasn't working. The next day we changed rooms to a much smaller, dingy, tiny bathroom, nowhere to hang clothes, air conditioned, killer view, for the same price. The room was nowhere near the same quality as the first room. Supper that night at their restaurant was not good. It was a 4 course meal. The a la carte menu is not available on Mondays and Tuesday. One of the courses was soup, which we did not receive. The second was pasta which was ok. The main described as pork slices was in fact 4 paper thin slices of luncheon meat with slices of lettuce(no dressing) and beets. It was terrible. dessert was creme caramel which was OK. At 20 euros each we were very disappointed. We tried breakfast the next day to give it a chance but again we were disappointed. We did not go back again during our 3 day stay. We did notice on Wednesday the restaurant had plenty of customers. Does the real chef come and do the a la carte menu? In our opinion the hotel is very tired and needs a facelift. It does have a great view but that's it, we have nothing good to say.
