Charming Villa Stay Near the River

hotel shuttle city center

I appreciated the location by the Arno River. It was about 4 km from the historic center, though the hotel offered an eight-seat shuttle. I found this very useful for getting to the city center without needing a taxi.

The road outside the hotel can get very busy. I noticed constant traffic noise, especially noticeable when I was by the poolside. It somewhat detracted from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere.

Rooms

9/10

My room faced the river and had fine views. It included two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. Plus the rooms were spotlessly clean. I found a modern style complemented some traditional touches.
