We arrived on Christmas day and were quickly ushered to our room, which was a junior suite that opened out onto a huge terrace that overlooked Florence. The room was beautiful and comfortable. We almost had to tear ourselves away to visit Florence. We had reserved for Christmas dinner at the restaurant via e-mail. When I mentioned the reservation, the desk clerk said it was never received but he assured us it would not be a problem. The hotel was rather empty except for a block of rooms that had been booked by, we were told, a German prince. They were therefore obliged to keep the restaurant open. We were the only diners that night, but the waiter was friendly and helpful and made feel perfectly at ease. We stayed there a total of 5 nights and ate at the hotel restaurant 3 of them. The bus into town was easy to catch, coming and going. Well worth not having to hassle with a car, in my opinion. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

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.
