This hotel is fabulous. I just spent a week in Fiesole visiting family and stayed at Hotel Villa Fiesole. I could not of been more pleased with the room, breakfast, and service in the hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated and are generous in size, the bathrooms are new and very clean. When I travel I usually stay at 5 star hotels and this hotels rooms were just as nice. The view overlooking Florence was just spectacular at night. This is the place to stay when you want to leave the city and relax after a long day.

Great Hotel, we booked a standard room and found it to be very large, clean.

Lovely restaurant, great friendly service, prices equal to those we paid in Florence. No sign of a noisy family mentioned in an earlier review. Great breakfast. Wonderful views.

Reception staff very friendly and helpful, gave us plenty of great info including a couple of good restuarants in Florence.

Yes, there is gravel in driveway and a few steps, but the view and atmosphere make the effort worth it. This building is an old villa not a concrete chain hotel.

Just got back from a trip through Europe. My family of 4 stayed at Villa Fiesole during the 3 days we were in Florence. The staff were very helpful, provided restaurant recommendations (for both Fiesole and Florence) and sold us postage stamps and bus tickets. The #7 bus picks up right outside the hotel, and takes you to the heart of Florence in about 20 minutes. It's much easier than having to drive!
The hotel is lovely. A laptop with wireless internet is provided- the only free internet we had during our trip. The rooms were the cleanest of any place we stayed, and the free breakfast buffet every morning was excellent!
If I ever go back to Florence, I would love to stay here again.

We arrived after a long journey and trundled our cases throuigh the stony car park, up some steps and into reception. After checking in it might have been nice to have a drink in the bar whilst our cases were taken to the room - no such luck. We had to roll the cases over more stones and carry them up more steps to our rather poky room. The bar turned out to be the outside restaurant area, and we were told we could only have one drink as dinner was about to be served! We were not even asked if we wanted to eat . That night we realised that the air conditioning unit was a fan under the window; if you opened the windows to let some air in the bugs came too, not to mention the traffic noise. The curtains did nothing to keep out the light, and the shower flooded the bathroom as there was no screen. The 2 night stay cost us more than 600 euros and really wasn't worth it. We didn't even have a very good view. The staff seemed to think they were doing us a favour - they were either rude or ignored us. Don't stay at this place and tell all your friends to avoid it too!
