It's not a hotel, but B&B in old villa house. If you want to have some experience in Italian life in local house, it is a good choice. But it is not a hotel and so sometime you feel inconvenience.

Serenity and Peaceful
Highly recommended. Its family owned villa, its beautiful and trully labour of love. From comfortable room, beautiful view from patio (terrace), gorgeous garden with lots of citrus trees to lovely family. Enjoy the beautiful paintings from the owner. We would love to go back and stay at the same place. Thank you Donatella. Grazie

Disappointing
Well this is potentially a really fantastic place to stay. It's a wonderful old building with a long history and it is full of old furniture paintings and books. The owners were very helpul as far as they could with local information etc. However the room and bathroom really need modernising to cater for the needs of the modern international traveller. A nice big bed with new bed linen would make the bedroom stand out and the shower and toilet are really basic and small in nature. Breakfast was limited and again inadequate for modern international standards. We paid 215 EUR for 2 nights which does not reflected the quality of the accommodation by a long way.

Visit to a historic Florence villa
stay was ok. unusual home/villa run by an older couple who were both helpful and a problem. Security was their concern which made it uncomfortable at times. Doors were locked early and making contact to gain entry was awkward.

Lovely B & B in historic villa.
Villa Malavolta was extraordinary in every way. Lovely, interesting home with art and books everywhere. Gardens were lovely and so enjoyable. Best of all was host, Donatella. She was gracious, interesting and so very helpful in every way! Easy walk to bus stop which took us where we wanted to go. She was helpful with pointing out some sights in Florence not to be missed. Enjoyed our time there and would not hesitate to go back again.

A peaceful oasis away from the tourist crowds
An extraordinary find in many ways. The hostess (owner) and her husband are lovely people. She speaks perfect English and can provide whatever tourist information and restaurant recommendations one may require as well as helping with bookings as needed. The house itself is in a quiet residential area and lies within a gated private park providing both formal front and informal back gardens (the latter a great place for kids to play). One would be best off arriving during daylight hours as the front gate itself is nondescript. This is an ideal location if you have a vehicle as it is easy to reach from the highway. One does have to be aware that Via del Proconsolo is one way (outbound) in this location so having an up to date Nav system is a plus (access is from Via Senese). This would be a great location to visit Florence from if arriving from outside Tuscany and also provide a home base for day trips to the adjacent countryside (going as far as Siena and San Gimignano would be pretty easy). Parking elsewhere in Florence -and driving into the city is an absolute nightmare so leaving the car here is a fantastic alternative. Although no attractions are within easy walking distance a brief downhill walk takes one to the main road where 3 bus lines provide rapid service into the city proper (10-15 minute ride depending on time of day). Once there it's likely best to pass the day or take a cab back to save time. Rooms and BR are of good size for EU. Wi fi signal best in common area

Old Italian Ambiance
The Villa was built in the 1400s and it's beautiful. It is owned and run by an older couple, the wife speaks English and does most of the administration, but they are both kind, patient, and extremely helpful. We loved them! They made my mother and I feel very welcome. Lovely atmosphere in the breakfast room. The only down side we discovered is that there was no air conditioning, but the large fan provided by the administrator and leaving the windows open at night worked just fine.

Gorgeous B&B in Florence
We stayed here for two days while we were in Florence - two days were just not long enough! The place was gorgeous and the owner was so nice. I had a sore foot and could not wear my boots, so the owner kindly let me borrow a pair of sandals which fit me perfectly! We would like to stay longer next time we visit Florence.
