Small hotel, good quiet location but still within walking distance from all main attractions. Staff was very helpful, more than decent breakfast
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience at Hotel Villa Carlotta. Quiet location with a lovely pool that unfortunately we didn't have time to use. My only note was it would have been nice to have been offered a drink while we were sat by the pool on our first morning but that's a minor minor detail. Loved it and would have loved to stay longer.

10/10 Exceptional

Our family of 5 had a wonderful 4 night stay in the main building (kids ages 10,12,14). It’s a converted very old Villa that has been nicely renovated and the room sizes were generous; it was so charming! We really appreciated the pool after hot afternoons walking in the crowded city and museums. The neighborhood is just outside the Boboli Garden two blocks from the Roman Gate but felt like we were staying miles away from the busy, crowded city streets. All you see and hear around the Villa are trees and the sounds of the birds, with almost no traffic noise at all. The hotel wasn’t crowded, and breakfast had a nice variety and the most delicious fresh croissants! The staff was very attentive and friendly. It’s a 4 star hotel but I’ll give it five stars for charm, location, amenities and service!

The hotel offers a calm and pleasant environment. Although it is located slightly away from the city centre, it benefits from close proximity to the bus station, providing convenient access to transportation. The room was clean and well maintained, and the breakfast was of good quality. The hotel’s interior design was particularly appealing. Overall, it was a comfortable and satisfactory stay.

It is a wonderful property, beautiful location of Florence. Hotel is in great condition, location is only fifteen minutes away from all the center attractions. We were so pleased with the staff members and especially Angela. She was extraordinary help to us, very professional and extremely kind person. If we go back to Florence, we are hundred percent sure that we will stay there again. Highly recommended place to stay.

This was a very relaxing place to be for the first few days of my trip. It’s the perfect mix of Tuscan country and faster pace of downtown Florence. It was quiet at night except the calm buzz of cicadas outside. Absolutely picturesque views and easy to walk around. Loved access to a pool on super hot days. I’d absolutely come back to this hotel

I got charged for breakfast when all I had was coffee. I do think that they should include the breakfast otherwise was a great location so quiet.

6/10 Good

The staff were really helpful and friendly, it has its own free parking which is a great benefit and is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood within walking distance of many sights and restaurants. However the part of the property we stayed in is a bit run-down and could use some updating. It worked for us (a family of 3) for the one night and I think would have worked for my spouse and I when we were fresh out of college.

Nice Hotel

We stayed 3 nights here as part of a long trip. This is a lovely hotel in a quiet part of the city but within easy walking distance to Boboli Gardens, Pitti Palace etc. Staff at reception were friendly and helpful. The small carpark is a bit tight but definitely a plus as we were on a driving tour, although there is on street parking right outside which costs €2 per hour (free on Sundays) Our room was comfortable and had a small terrace which was a nice space to sit and relax Breakfast was nice, fairly simple, everything was fresh and the breakfast room overlooking the pool was nice too. We didn't use the pool but it was a good addition to the facilities and was really clean and well maintained.

Disappointing

Hotel was functional; bar facility poor; breakfast was average; swimming pool unusable due to lack of cleaning; paint peeling off ceiling in bathroom; no porterage assistance with steep steps and no ramp leading up to hotel entrance; however reception staff helpful with taxi requests.

The building doesn’t look like it has had any money spent on it since the 1980’s.Very shabby hotel, shame on the owners, it could be fab. Had holes in sheets and towels. No duvet it’s a 1950’s style blanket between sheets. Not hygienic these days. Dirt and dust everywhere. Cushions with stains on. One pillow each. Dining chairs in the breakfast room all broken. Car park which we managed to get a space, parks 10 cars. Neighbourhood very good and it’s a walk down the hill to the bus stop which you can use to get into town for 1.70€. Reception can sell you the tickets. We did taxis back which cost us between 15-20€. After a day walking so much it was a relief to come back to the pool (not heated) to paddle in. Our room was 119 and 118 would have the same beautiful view. No drawers or storage space for clothes so couldn’t unpack. It’s more B&B as there’s no actual menu for food in the evenings and it’s a walk down that hill again to get to any local shops or restaurants. But they do a ‘snack’ menu. Sandwiches and two pizzas on it. And they have a bar you can get drinks from. Cheap prices. We chose this location as we were driving so needed to be outside the ZTL zone and not pay for expensive garage parking. So it suited us. If you are flying in. Stay closer to town is my advice. Would I stay here again. No. But huge praise for the reception ladies.Their English was brilliant. They helped us with everything we needed locally.

It is located in historic neighbourhood se rounded by a lot of mature trees, that protects you from the severe temperatures in the month of July. The buildings are unique and very European. The hotel has a smaller pool that is a welcome thing during the extreme heat. The staff makes your stay very pleasant, always ready to help or assist with any questions. Both Letecya and Angela are very professional , kind and speak good English. The only downfall was that the hotel only has the one iron and the iron board. I find it very strange as the people like us flying from overseas and has their clothes all wrinkled, the staff had to search around to find the only one iron in someone room, gave it to us and had to take it back soon. For someone it means nothing to tour the city looking careless, for us it was not expectable

The location is fantastic, easy to walk in and out of the city center. Staff are friendly and responsive. Parking is VERY limited but street parking (paid) seemed plentiful and at the time of my stay was $24 Euro per day (free Sundays). I stayed in the annex of the property not the actual villa and there seems to be a noise issue as I found the walls/doors very thin (and could hear all my neighbors, anyone in the hall, etc) and had responded to the initial question the website sends out when I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. The MOD had messaged me thru hotels.com about moving rooms, but I never received the message. By the time she saw me, the other room was not still available but I did appreciate the proactive handling the situation even if the app didn't relay the message (never received it, even at a later time).
