Hotels in Gavinana-Galluzzo - Florenz

Positiv:: Das Personal, die Nähe zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten, fabelhaftes Frühstück, kostenlose Parkplätze ( ! ! ! ), Happy Hour, Bett.

Negativ:: Verkehrslärm, aber wenn man das Fenster geschlossen hat, ist es ruhig.

Positiv:: Family home feeling. Location to major sites. Friendliness and area knowledge of staff.

Negativ:: The bar, Cafe Michealangelo, next door.

Positiv:: Excellent and very helpful staff

Negativ:: Could be more centrally located

Positiv:: The front office staff were always pleasant and eager to please and assist. Room was large and clean. Breakfast very good.

Positiv:: The service and staff were excellent, very friendly and very accommodating. With the hotel in a good location - south of the River, quoet amd within easy walking distance to the Ponte Vecchio and Sante Croc areas.

Positiv:: This was a lovely hotel that showed the character of the region. The hotel had so many complimentary touches that added to our experience of the city. They gave us a free full mini bar which included snacks, drinks and water. They also had free appetizers and wine native to the area each evening where you could meet follow travellers and relax after full day of sight seeing. The rooms were decorated in the style of what I had seen of European hotels in old movies, even down to the ceramic key bob you left at the front desk when you went out. The staff were wonderful and the hotel was very close to a city bus that was 5-10 min away from the heart of Florence. The room we were given was very large and bright with a small balcony.

Negativ:: The only thing that could have been improved at this hotel was if in addition to the sheers, room darkening curtains could be added so the room isn't as bright at night.

Positiv:: Die Empfangsdame war äusserst lieb, rapide und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel bietet gratis eine Minibar-Ladung und am frühen Abend ein Cocktail im Hotelgarten an mit Getränken und Häppchen. Wir waren auf Durchreise und sparten so Reiseproviant, ein Abendessen und eine Menge Zeit. Für Grossstadtverhältnisse ist das Hotel ruhig und man ist im Grünen.. in Florenz ein besonderer Luxus!

Negativ:: Wurden vom GPS fehlgeleitet, weil es in Florenz eine Viale und eine Via Michelangiolo gibt.

Positiv:: Schönes Hotel mit 15min. Fussweg in die Innenstadt. Umfangreiches Zusatzangebot: Minibar frei, WiFi frei, Apero frei, Parken frei

Positiv:: Die unglaublich freundlichen Mitarbeiter, die abendliche "Happy hour" (haben wir so noch nie erlebt!), riesige Zimmer mit antiken Möbeln.

Negativ:: Es gab nichts negatives!

Positiv:: Viele Extras, z.B. gratis Minibar, Tel.gespräche etc. Reibungsloser schneller und freundlicher Service!

Positiv:: Ein Aufenthalt im Hotel David wird zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Von der ersten Minute an, während des Aufenthaltes wird man von einem Team umsorgt, dessen Herzlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft einmalig sind. Zimmer und Essen sind traumhaft. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Negativ:: nein

Positiv:: super freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter, schönes Zimmer, gutes Frühstück, insgesamt absolut empfehlenswert

Positiv:: Geräumige, schön eingerichtete Zimmer, sehr nettes Ambiente, super freundliche Mitarbeiter, tolles Frühstücksbuffet, netter kleiner Garten zum Entspannen nach dem Sight-Seeing, kostenloser Parkplatz auf dem Grundstück, nette Idee: Wein und Snacks am frühen Abend gratis!

Positiv:: The hotel and property is gorgeous! The staff was amazing and very helpful. The shuttle driver is wonderful!!! We loved her.

Negativ:: Small space and small shower but to be expected. We didn't spend much time there so it was fine. It was our first time in Florence so we would have liked to be closer to the center of the city. But after our original B&B fell through we were very happy to find this hotel.

Positiv:: Staff was very nice and the room was very good either... the breakfast was perfect a lot of fruits to choose....

Negativ:: We have to use our car to go to the city centre, around 10 minutes....

Positiv:: The grounds of the hotel The amenities in the room

Negativ:: Bed are the most uncomfortable we have ever slept on (or tried to sleep) Some of the rooms are located on a narrow street that looks quaint, however, it is becomes a very noisy road with cars and motor cycles, early in the mornings, and then from 5pm all the way to 10pm and after that throughout the night when noisy Vespas go by. Hotel stuff is very nice but very inefficient. Shuttle hours are not very convenient but it is not far to drive from hotel and pay for parking in the city.

Positiv:: The staff were extremely accomodating and the food was every bit as wonderful as the romantic room.

Negativ:: Being from America, our bed at home is not nearly as firm as the bed here but we found other beds in Italy to be more firm than at Villa Olmi so maybe it is just us.

Positiv:: The staff were excellent especially the receptionist and very informative about the local area. They helped ensure that my wife enjoyed her special birthday and celebrated it in style.

Negativ:: Lack of spa facilities and disappointed that the swimming pool isn't available all year round.

Positiv:: nice location and surroundings

Negativ:: This is advertised as a 5 star but unfortunately it does not have the feel or service of one. We paid for this booking before arriving and there was no record of this, not good communication within the hotel.

Positiv:: Anspruch und Service stimmen. Stilechte Einrichtung einer schönen Landvilla.Wunderschönes Frühstücksbuffet und sehr schöner Freisitz auf der Terrasse.

Negativ:: Organisation eines Golftermins wurde von Rezeptionistin nicht wichtig genommen.

Positiv:: sehr guter Service, schöne Anlage

Negativ:: Klimaanlage lief nicht

Positiv:: Helpful, polite & friendly yet unobtrusive staff. Good facilities & calm gardens.

Positiv:: Angenehme Atmosphäre,ruhige Lage,freundlicher Service.

Positiv:: Great atmosphere, very nice and attractive hotel. Excellent help from the staff available when needed. Very good location to visit downtown Florence. Very professional staff !

Negativ:: The owner wants to keep distance to the customers, they could at least say hello, it's a small hotel anyway.

Positiv:: Lage sehr schön, Hotelzimmer sauber, Service in Ordnung.

Negativ:: etwas abgelegen, Zufahrt zum Hotel nicht direkt möglich (mit schweren Koffern & bei Regen nicht sehr praktisch), Parkplatz ca. 10 min. entfernt.

Positiv:: The Marignolle Relais is located beautifully just on the outskirts of Florence. The surrounding scenery is magnificient and we enjoyed the tranquility of the place. The personnel was extremely helpful.

Positiv:: Schöne ruhige Lage, mit dem Auto dennoch kurze Wege in das Zentrum von Florenz. Stilvolles, geräumiges Zimmer. Sehr nettes, hilfsbereites Personal.

Negativ:: -

Positiv:: Wunderschönes Ambiente in toller Lage, sehr ruhig!Sehr nette Mitarbeiter, die Zimmer top !

Negativ:: Frühstück für diese Preiskategorie nicht adäquat, praktisch nur süss, für einen kleinen Teller mit Schinken und Käse 7 euro Aufpreis ist nicht in Ordnung ! Praktisch keine Möglichkeit im Areal etwas außerhalb der Normzeiten zu Essen zu bekommen.

Positiv:: Amazing hotel, more like a B&B. Our room was fantastic. Loved the country side setting but still close to the city. Great place for a family.

Positiv:: Sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes Hotel mit hervorragendem Service. Ruhige Lage. Ein kleiner gepflegter Swimmingpool.

Negativ:: Das Frühstück ist etwas mager, da kein Käse u.a. angeboten werden. Man muss Käse/Wurstplatte bzw. Eier extra bestellen mit Aufpreis von 6 bis 7 EUR. Bei dem Zimmerpeis fanden wir das etwas bedauerlich.

Positiv:: Das Gebäude sah wunderschön aus und es lag in der Nähe der toskanischen Landseite. Das Personal war sehr hilfreich und das Essen war wirklich gut.

Negativ:: Es gibt hier nicht wirklich viele negative Dinge zu sagen, aber ich würde den Shuttle-Service zu verschiedenen Orten, z. B. zum Terminal, verbessern. Außerdem muss der Fernseher über mehr englische Sender verfügen, was nach einem langen Tag des Spaziergangs zur Entspannung beiträgt.

Positiv:: Wir verbrachten hier zwei Nächte im November 2014. Ausgezeichneter Service, Zimmer und Annehmlichkeiten. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder dort übernachten. Ich kann nur sagen, dass ich wiederkommen würde. Fabelhafte Aussicht auf Florenz! Jeden Nachmittag Tee im Salon. Traumhafte Bettwäsche. Der Service war aufmerksam. Dies ist mein Hotel wenn ich wieder in Florenz bin!

Positiv:: the old world feel in the rooms.

Negativ:: The interior in the public spaces could use some serious attention! It feels cheap and not on the level of a genuine 5 star hotel. Overall needs tasteful direction and overhaul. Restaurant bill for 2 was almost 90 euros for 2 glasses of wine, 2 pastas, and 1 dessert. Each glass of house wine they offered me was 16 euros each. I have dined at many restaurants in Italy ranging from michelin star to amazing local family restaurants therefore I am quite confident to say this was expensive for what is was. The food was standard for what you can expect in any decent Italian kitchen however you can head down the road to find many nicer restaurants that will be over half the price for the same thing. Moreover the interior of the restaurant feels like a cheap Chinese restaurant with an interior inspired by Versace in the 90's.

Positiv:: Fantastic pool, great staff, free shuttle downtown. incredible views of florence

Positiv:: kurzer Weg in die Innenstadt

Negativ:: Fitness nicht vorhanden, Wellness sehr klein und ungemütlich, Zimmer sehr hellhörig, Keine 5 Sterne!

Positiv:: I cannot accept that the overnight price of euros299.00does not include breakast! A fabulous location but I have stayed in better hotels before for a lot less!

Negativ:: The air conditioning in the annexe was locked on 25.5c and could not be reduced.the room was like a sauna.we stayed at the hotel to attend a wedding on site.the dinner service was poor-at one stage the cutlery ran out.they should be used to mass catering!take care concerning mosquitoes.these seem to be endemic in florence and 5 stars do not stop you from getting bitten.we have come home with numerous bites!

Positiv:: The location is surely impressive and the staff extremely super nice and helpfull. the free shuttle service is absolutely fantastic!

Negativ:: There are a few things that I was not happy about: the bed mattress was old and had a big hole in the middle that made our sleep extremely uncomfortable. they didn't even have a selection of pillows, but only one standard, that , in a hotel room that costs 299 euros per night is not acceptable. the breakfast was totally not worthed 25 euros per person ( they should really have it included in the price). For how perfect is a view , and we all know how important is a room with a view in Florence, they are located next to a camping ground, and in the middle of the night and early in the morning, the camping ground management was calling people with megaphones to move their cars.... ad was utterly annoying and loud!

Positiv:: very friendly staff and very nice restaurant. One of our best meals in Florence. Thanks for the wonderfully chilled bottle of Champagne in our room, on arrival, was a wonderful touch! We will stay there again.

Negativ:: Shuttle services needs to be extended in hours and also drop folks in the middle of the town as opposed to the bridge.

Positiv:: sehr familiäre Athmosphäre, ausgespriochen freundliche Mitarbeiter

Positiv:: Die Lage des Hotels ist wirklich sehr schön und nahe am Zentrum .Garten und Pool sehr gepflegt. Zimmer sauber. Personal sehr freundlich.

Negativ:: Frühstück für 28,00 Euro überteuert.

Positiv:: Die Lage ist absolut grandios und das Hotel errinnert vom Ambiente her an frühere Zeiten.

Negativ:: Alles wird extra verrechnet und sei es auch nur ein Strandtuch

Positiv:: The views were stunning and superb facilities. Gourmet dining with elegant surroundings.

Negativ:: nothing to complain about

Positiv:: Lage, Aussicht auf die Stadt, personal sehr gut.

Negativ:: das sog. Romantikzimmer verdient keine 5 Sterne. Das ist maximal 3 Sterne wert. Mehr aber nicht.

Positiv:: The whole stay was excellent. Service top class, views amazing, room outstanding, roof terrace unbeatable in Florence.

Negativ:: I will go back and recommend others to stay whenever in Florence.

Positiv:: Lage des Hotels, nette Atmosphäre und sehr bemühte Mitarbeiter, Shuttle Service nach Florenz

Negativ:: Frühstück

Positiv:: exzellenter 5-Sterne Service, sehr aufmerksam, Zimmer sehr gemütlich, fantastische Lage

Negativ:: Internet-Empfang funktionierte nicht

Positiv:: It was in Italy, and we love Italy, so that’s always going to make you forget about some of the conveniences you’re used to. The breakfast atmosphere was nice, and like everywhere in Italy, the coffee was amazing. Dinner was very expensive at the hotel, but just down the street in walking distance there are some great local places. And then obviously in Florence, the food is unmatched...and restraints for days...and many of them are extremely affordable.

Negativ:: The hotel is all on one A/C & Heating system, that it’s either every room has heat, or every room has A/C. We did not know this going in, and it ended up being a warmer Spring, however still not warm enough for them to convert all the rooms over to A/C. So we had to open windows, which have no screens, therefore the flying bugs came to stay in our room as well (without paying mind you) and needless to say, we slept with insect repellent every night. Which is not an aphrodisiac. The rooms are closest related to say a Ramada Inn or an older Holiday Inn in the States. Finally, some of the reviews we read said that downtown Florence was walking distance...it is not walking distance, it would take a solid 45min or so to just get into the town walking, then you walk everywhere in the town all ready. My wife and I are in great shape and don’t mind walking, but we rented a car to drive into Florence, then parked and walked from there. Even if you like walking it would be a big time vacuum from being able to enjoy the town. Again, though, it’s Italy! The beauty and romance of the city can tend to distract from the little consciences one might be used to coming from America. So if you’re on a budget, but want to be closer to downtown Florence, then this is a decent choice. As long as you know it’s a solid 2.5-3 star hotel and nothing more, and go during a time that the hotel offers A/C, then you’ll prob enjoy it more than we did.

Positiv:: The best points for this hotel are the location (proximity of the highway, excellent as a starting point for trips in Tuscany), the availability of the 3rd bed (for children) and the free large parking.

Negativ:: The hotel looks very outdated and definitely overrated (3 stars maximum). It is mainly used as a transit point for tourists. Breakfast is a nightmare if you don't wake up early in the morning, as the restaurant is completely devastated by the tourists groups, and the 2 people caring about cleaning the mess and bringing new foods are completely overloaded. The pool opening time makes it useless (10-19) as this is the time period people usually make trips. The only day we arrived earlier in the idea of using the pool (18:30) we found out that it was closed as the guy in charge left earlier.

Positiv:: The pool area was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Negativ:: Sadly, the food that we ordered in the restaurant was terrible.

Negativ:: The hotel is too far from the city centre and the transportation is insufficient, the personnel is not enough to serve all the customers with efficiency and finally, the reason why we booked this hotel was only the facility of the pool which was not finally provided. The pool was closed due to the bad weather 10 days before our arrival, and they had not done something to open it again in the meantime. If they had informed us in advance about the lack this main facility, we would have been able to change our reservation and stay in a hotel in the city centre and avoid all the inconvenience that we faced.

Positiv:: Parking space. Proximity to the autostrada.

Negativ:: Definetely an old place not worthing the 4 stars, nor the price. Very depressing appearence. Lady at the front desk willing and helpful but desperetely alone for a morning shift.

Positiv:: Hotel location is easy to find. English speaking front desk personnell. Free covered parking. Excellent breakfast buffet and waiting staff, all the expresso and cappuccinos you can drink, eggs, bacon, sausages and baked goods. Rooms are quiet and closed drapes make room totally dark.

Negativ:: We booked here because of the advertised swimming pool facility. After we checked in we were told that swimming pool was closed because hotel was taken over by new management which did not know how to sanitize the pool. My kid and I were very disappointed about this and I wish Holiday Inn told us ahead about their pool problems. On first night the a/c on both rooms didn't work, I asked front desk lady for help and she told me all windows must be closed for the a/c to work. Did as she told me but a/c never turned on. Next day hotel engineer told us we had to set a/c control to hot instead of cold for a/c to work...why didn't I think of that? A/C worked fine then, a more professional staff could have spared us the trouble, H/I work on this

Positiv:: We arrived by car so we were looking for somthing close to the city, but not in it. The hotel was very convenient to the highway, but still quiet, and did not charge for parking. Breakfast was very good, room was big, internet downstairs, easy and direct bus to the city center. If I were going to Florence again with a car, I would stay here again. It was perfect for what we were looking for.

Negativ:: Fitness room was outdated, but pool was nice. Exterior is outdated as well but not a big deal to me.

Positiv:: Big pool, Busstop near the hotel to downtown Florence,

Negativ:: additional bed for the child was a very uncomfy couchbed, staff could be more friendly

Positiv:: very nice staff at the front desk

Negativ:: the service at the bar and restaurant is absolutely non exisitant, we had to wait 45min after our main course to get the bill which we did not ask for, we wanted a dessert and a coffe but it was obviously to much to ask for. There is no other restaurant around the hotel otherwise we would have left the table after the 20 min we were seated with not even a "hello".

Positiv:: Das Personal war professionell

Negativ:: Man konnte den Nachbarn atmen hören

Negativ:: Es gibt nur einen Deutschen sender und der geht nicht! normalerweise kein problem für mich nur gab ich der rezeption bitte nur das kabel zu prüfen und es hat sich leider niemand um das problemn gekümmert!! ich selbst habe am kabel herumgedreht und manchmal ein bild bekommen!!

Positiv:: Staff extremely helpful

Positiv:: None

Negativ:: yes they did not have hot water in my room, plus the tempt. was very high
