You feel like you have a castle all to yourself as it is very quiet and you hardly encounter other guests in this massive estate. The building is huge, filled with antiques and amazing architectural details. We had a large corner room with panoramic views of the entire city of Florence. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was typically European--a... more

From the moment we arrived on the property we experienced the breathtaking view of Florence below and before us was the grandeur of the hotel, serene outdoor pool and the beautiful grounds. There was a pleasant quiet which we knew would be relaxing in the evenings after long days of sightseeing. The hotel desk clerk greeted us immediately and showed... more

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend with our twin sons and booked directly with the hotel. We were allocated a suite on the top floor overlooking Florence. (Room 14.) We didn't have the high ceilings of the first floor but we had the peace and quiet, being at the top of the hotel. The boys had their... more

This is an extraordinary experience, not a normal tourist hotel. Bellosguardo is an historic mansion on a hill overlooking Florence, which has been lovingly restored and furnished with period antiques. Our suite had an amazing view of Florence.

You feel you are staying in a private villa. Very romantic and a welcome change from your usual hotel. has no restaurant but there's a wonderful trattoria five minutes away. I'll be... more

Last month I stayed in this wonderfull place. The hotel and the gardens were beyond my expectations. Rarely have I experienced such a special and genuine atmosphere. The staff went out of their way to be helpfull. The place is full of surprises: an extraordinary vegetable garden and a great love of animals (donkeys, ducks, rabbits, hens, cats, a Shetland... more
