Romantic Paradise is found at the hotel, which is like going back in time 100 years. It truly is a “room with a view.. “ there have been many famous people who have stayed in this hotel over the last 200 years, but you can see why… there are only 10 rooms and yes it’s quite expensive, but if you want to be left alone then this is the place for you. Don’t expect fancy… but expect peace and quiet and historic elegance. There are no kettles in your room - and bringing food from the outside is discouraged. The rooms have truly stunning views. I believe rated to be in the top 10 of all hotel views in Italy. We had guests from USA, Germany and Uk staying when we were there.. and none of us could stop staring at the view. The staff were great, attentive, polite and knowledgeable and the food ( breakfast) was terrific. I personally would stay here every time I am travelling in Italy. Be warned it’s not for those with mobility issues The hotel is a 20-30 minute walk up a very steep track from town. ( or you can get a cab). It’s easier to walk down and get a cab back! We did walk it up… Cab from the train station £15 ish.. Inside the hotel you also have quite a lot of stairs. Bring bug repellant, there are mosquitos in Florence which will chomp at your ankles whilst you eat at bars / cafes - get a strong repellent! We did trips on the train to Pisa, ( 50 minutes) and Rome ( 1.5 hours) - can’t compliment the train travel enough. We travelled in both 2nd class and business on the train and at 250kmh the first class is like being on a plane with free Prosecco and snacks. We ate regularly at “osteria del corso” in town - great wine, pasta and steak. You are spoiled for choice down there, but there are a lot of crap restaurants with pre bought pizza bases.. so we recommend the osteria who make their own pasta too. Even in October Florence and Rome were crazily busy… If you want a place of sanctuary then give this place a go!
