"Stunningly beautiful property with unbelievable vistas from the dining room and pool (amazing). The staff were attentive, helpful, and cheerful and the food was excellent (some of the best we had in all of Italy). They offer free shuttle rides to the city with the last shuttle returning at 6:30 PM. We felt pampered and would actually have preferred to have stayed and spent more time at the hotel rather than running around Florence. Great place to relax and decompress."

Amazing experience staying here! The villa is stunning you feel like you’re living as royalty. The gardens are beautiful despite the extreme heat of Italy.
Don’t miss a sunset in the gardens.
We had dinner twice, both nights had lovely food and service. The Buffett breakfast is definitely worth adding to your stay.
The shuttle that takes you into town is such a good idea. Even though we had a car we didn’t have to worry about trying to park near the city to explore.
Lovely Villa, thank...

Set in absolutely beautiful tranquil surroundings in the suburbs on Florence, Villa Olmi was a delightful place to spend our stay and I would highly recommend. The room was elegant, well furnished, quiet and relaxing. Tripping into the central city on the courtesy bus was a breeze and if you miss the last scheduled trip back a taxi trip back will not break the bank. The buffet breakfast is outstanding and all the hotel staff were extremely professional, helpful and diligent.

This hotel is wonderful in a beautiful treed area leading up to Piazza d' Michelangelo. Mini bar is free and Happy hour (s) occurs each night in the garden with free wine and beer and plentiful finger food. Breakfast is the best we have had in Europe!

Arriving at this villa was breathtaking. The immaculate gardens and beautiful structure gave a Tuscan villa feel while still being close enough by bus to the city centre.
We booked a family room for 2 adults and 3 kids which was larger than expected and very comfortable, especially the bed. It had a big balcony where we could see the gardens and sunset which created a great memory. The only issue was that we couldn't easily keep the doors open to each room to allow the kids in and out as they...

Lovely hotel - nothing like a regular hotel - very individual - easy to find - all the taxi drivers knew it! Lots of outdoor settings front & back so you can follow the sun - well away from traffic noise - loads of car parking which is a rare feature in European hotel... Windows & doors that open for fresh air, exceptionally nice linen...breakfast includes freshly made warm croissants! Spacious rooms. The showers are ok - we stayed in 3 different rooms so tried 3 different showers!

We had an amazing room overlooking the Piazza. There was some noise from the activities going on till midnight which might bother young families but as a family of four with slightly older kids we loved everything about it. It had such a great atmosphere, staff were friendly and breakfast each day was great. I definitely stay again if we're ever back in Florence.

Beautiful room decor, with the room and bathroom spotlessly clean and very comfortable and pleasing.
The location was excellent, close to the train station, right on the Santa Maria Novella Piazza, and, an easy walk to almost everything.
The breakfast buffet was beautiful: the staff attentiveness, the food, and the view of the Santa Maria Novella Piazza and Bascilica. The breakfast food and drink was exceptional: with the range and quality available. Full credit to the wait and kitchen...

The best area to stay in Fornacelle is directly in the village itself, or in the immediate surrounding countryside, which offers a truly authentic Tuscan experience.
Fornacelle is a small, traditional Tuscan village. It's characterised by its terracotta-roofed stone buildings, narrow cobbled streets, and a central piazza where locals gather. You'll find a few small, family-run trattorias serving regional cuisine and a local shop for essentials. The village is surrounded by rolling hills dotted with olive groves and vineyards, providing picturesque views in every direction.
For couples seeking a romantic and peaceful escape, staying in a converted farmhouse or a boutique hotel just outside the village is ideal. These properties often feature private pools, stunning views, and a focus on local produce. You can enjoy quiet evenings, explore the nearby vineyards, or simply relax by the pool, all while being a short drive from the village for dinner.
Families will find staying within Fornacelle village or a villa very close by offers convenience and a sense of community. Many villas come with private gardens and pools, giving children space to play. The village's quiet nature means you can easily walk to the local shop or enjoy a gelato in the piazza without feeling overwhelmed.
When is the best time to go to Fornacelle?
The best time to visit Fornacelle, Tuscany, is during the shoulder seasons of May, June, September, and early October.
These months offer pleasant weather, with warm days and comfortable evenings, superb for exploring the Tuscan countryside. You'll avoid the intense heat and larger crowds of the peak summer months, making for a more relaxed and enjoyable trip. The vineyards are lush, and the landscape is particularly picturesque.
Couples looking for a romantic escape will find these times ideal. You can enjoy al fresco dining, wine tastings at local vineyards, and leisurely drives through rolling hills without feeling rushed. The softer light of these seasons also makes for beautiful photography.
For those planning activities like hiking or cycling, the milder temperatures of May, June, September, and early October are much more comfortable than the height of summer.
