Staying at this hotel felt like being in an old monastery, which was charming yet a bit overwhelming. The front garden was lovely, but our room had a bit too much of that monastery feel. The service was exceptional, with a touch of Croatian hospitality, but the uphill location might not suit everyone. Overall, a unique experience with some minor drawbacks.

Staying at this hotel was an overall delightful experience. The rooms, while moderately sized and requiring a climb up steep staircases with no elevators, offered a charming view of the lovely garden at the front. The service was exceptional, with staff being very personable, cheerful, and incredibly helpful in every aspect. The location, overlooking Florence away from the crowds but with a convenient free shuttle service to the center, provided a unique and historical atmosphere. Dining was a mix of great views and Sicilian pastries, although not fully matching the hotel's reputation. The facilities were well-maintained, offering a range of services and amenities.

The hotel rooms were astonishingly beautiful, easily accommodating a family of 4, but had an overly strong old monastery feel. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist with trip planning, dining recommendations, and any needs that arose. The location, perched on the hills above Florence, offered stunning views but had some areas encroaching on guest space. Dining, while good, left something to be desired compared to other experiences, but the main restaurant was outstanding. The facilities were well-equipped and satisfying.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were not entirely ready when I arrived, but once settled in, they were spacious, well-equipped, and had a beautiful view of Florence from the Fiesole hills. The upgrade to a junior suite with a private terrace and a huge bathroom was fabulous.

My stay at the hotel was overall fantastic. The junior suite I was upgraded to was fabulous, complete with its private terrace and a spacious bathroom. However, the steep staircases were a bit challenging, especially with no elevators. The luxurious feel of the room and restaurant made up for the lack of a good view.

The hotel's hillside location overlooking Florence was truly picturesque. The convenient free shuttle service to Republic Square made exploring the city hassle-free. However, being located above the main building meant a bit of a walk up the hill but the views were worth it.

The hotel is situated in the beautiful Fiesole hills overlooking Florence, offering exceptional views. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, and the grounds are stunning, although access requires navigating steep staircases with no elevators. The service is outstanding, with staff going out of their way to please and providing helpful assistance with local cuisine. The location, though a bit isolated, is compensated by a convenient free shuttle service to the city center. Dining experiences vary, with some meals being excellent while others not meeting the hotel's reputation. The facilities are modern and convenient, with various services available.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of fantastic and not so great experiences. The location was absolutely stunning situated in a former 15th-century monastery with a façade attributed to Michelangelo, offering spectacular views over Florence, but it was slightly inconvenient that some guest areas encroached on private spaces. The rooms varied greatly, from fabulous suites with private terraces and huge bathrooms to tiny rooms. The service was excellent in some aspects, like being looked after under the loggia, but there were some issues with overworked staff and hot conditions. Dining at the beautiful restaurant and breakfast were outstanding, but gluten-free options were limited. Overall, the facilities were good, with great potential for parties or functions, but they could use some improvement to enhance the guest experience.
