10/10 Excellent

Great hotel in fantastic location. Driving in and out is a nightmare. The parking arrangement let’s it down. You have to pay them separately and their payment machine was not working so you then have to go to their office. The hotel didn’t want to know, it would be a better arrangement for their clients if the hotel took the charge and passed it on to the parking garage so that customers are not inconvenienced.

Il Malaspina - Place of Charme

Historic Centre of Florence

10/10 Excellent

We stayed for a week in July 2026. The hotel was recently refurbished so everything is new. It was the middle of a heat wave and the aircon was fantastic, almost too cold (but the staff can adjust further if needed). The family room was spacious for the three of us. The usual amenities are available - but they provided a steamer rather than ironing board and iron (I have not asked if this was available). Has USB A and USB C charging ports in the room. It has lift access so no lugging suitcases...

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...

Absolutely wonderful location ... throw open the windows and look out on the River Arno with beautiful sight lines to Ponte Vecchio which changes every day with the early morning light and evening sunsets. A short walk to all the major attractions and shopping facilities. The decor was gorgeous and the rooms spacious and clean with good sized bathroom. Each morning we were served a banquet for breakfast and there was a lovely little room one could relax in if you didn't want to go back to...

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...
