A Home in Fiesole

The villa is the best place to stay when visiting Fiesole. It has a home feel to it. Free items in mini bar, free breakfast, easy transportation to Florence. This place is amazing.

The location requires a bus ride into the city, but it is very close to the bus station, has a wonderful view and has old world charm.

Great great view

Make sure if you ask for an ironing board, you also ask for an iron :) or you’ll get exactly what you ask for

Do not expect a usable pool

Faded is probably the best way to describe this hotel. It was fine as a base but not for spending any time in. The pool (in mid July) was not clean and clearly rarely used (covered in a film of dead flies and hugely over-chlorinated). The photographer for the website is a genius - the hotel does not look like this. It is clean and basic but that is all. There is nowhere to have drinks overlooking the view, breakfast is served inside (despite there being a terrace) and is again basic but passable. The staff are fine but there is no service culture. Taken for what it is it is fine, expect a nice hotel and you will be disappointed. Luckily as we were there for a wedding the hotel was not the point - luckily.

Qualità prezzo, prezzo esagerato... Colazione misera. Stanze pulite... una rimodernata non farebbe male.

Affascinante atmosfera retrò

Personale gentilissimo e camere pulite. Ottimo per visitare Firenze con l'autobus che parte davanti all'albergo ogni 15 minuti per piazza San Marco in pieno centro. Le 4 stelle sono un po in contrasto con l'aspetto generale dell'hotel, ma se ci si lascia trasportare dall'atmosfera retrò di inizio secolo 900 non si può che rimanerne affascinati

Hôtel plein de charme

Le plaisir d'une nuit dans cet ancien théâtre anglais du 18°s, devenu ensuite un palais du 19°. Beaucoup de meubles d'époque dans les couloirs et escaliers, un très beau jardin et un excellent restaurant. Les chambres sont un peu vieillottes, mais ça a son charme.

Charming with a consumable welcome package!

I had to book this room at the last minute and was delighted with the location of the Hotel Villa Aurora! It is steps away from the bus stop, as well as conveniently located on the Piazza Mino - the center of Fiesole. The Villa is charming with many artifacts to view, but beware of the stairs if you have heavy luggage! The room, which again was a last minute decision, was clean and had a welcome package in the mini frig! The bed was a bit hard and the shower stall was small. Had to rush out for an appointment before I had a chance to enjoy breakfast. The staff was cordial and allowed me to store my luggage there during my hectic schedule.

Hotel in central Fiesole,

iii Although convenient for transport into Florence, Number 7 bus does not now go into central Florence but instead to the San Marcos area from where you have to walk (about 10 minutes). Hotel very nice and would stay there again for as long as I can manage the stairs (no lift). Room spacious and very clean. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Reception good, but higher standard of spoken English would be appreciated (typical lazy English comment probably).

Dove sono le 4 stelle?

Siamo letteralmente scappati da questo albergo, dopo aver pagato "a vuoto" la prima notte. La struttura è vecchia e fatiscente, assolutamente diversa dalle immagini riportate sul sito. La stanza piccola, con un arredo veramente squallido, con una finestra che affacciava proprio sull'angolo della sola strada di gran scorrimento, con conseguenze rumore. E mi era stato assicurato un soggiorno tranquillo e silenzioso! Il bagno poco pulito e con un forte odore di muffa e di stantìo. Il giardino circostante incolto e disordinato. L'accesso alle stanze solo tramite due scaloni sporchi e certo non accoglienti. Niente ascensore. La proprietaria sgarbata e affatto professionale. Non raccomanderei mai questa struttura (a 4 stelle!!) ad un prezzo che non si può certo dire conveniente.

Beautiful location, fine staff

The hotel is on the crest of the hill at Fiesole, overlooking Florence. It's a beautiful location and the dining room and breakfast room take full advantage of the view. Our room was clean and comfortable, the food good. The staff was helpful with the usual (transportation, local guidance) but outstanding on a small dispute with a local business. They made two calls and got us reimbursement from the local business. All done with ease and friendliness. This is a grand old hotel, probably from the 19th c, and there is an atmosphere of faded elegance

Interesting old villa in hills overlooking Florenc

The hotels is in Fiesole which is a village in the hills overlooking Florence thus providing a quiet retreat from the crowds of Florence. The local bus stops right outside the hotel and is only a 10 minute ride into the city centre. The hotel is in an interesting historic villa which must have been magnificent in its heyday. No, sadly it is a bit run down and doesn't warrant its 4 star rating. The breakfast room and terrace is fine and we had a very nice dinner one night overlooking the city. The problems began in our room. We had asked for single beds and the mattresses were so uncomfortable that we slept very badly on both nights. Rock hard and lumpy. The lighting was very dim and the shower a bit grubby. On our first night the restaurant had been taken over for a wedding which was so noisy we closed the window and switched on the air-conditioning. It blew out air but did not cool! The hotel advertises a swimming pool but it is a temporary above ground pool which had collapsed!!

Chambres à rénover

Hall et escaliers magnifiques, parking très pratique. En revanche chambres à refaire, mobilier vieillot, moquette sentant fort l'humidité, vue sur une cours encombrée de gravats, petit déjeuner très moyen sur une terrasse sympathique mais à rénover (mobilier sol), piscine sans charme. Déception d'avoir eu une chambre médiocre alors que l'hotel ne semblait pas complet...

Everything was great, except that the beds and pillows are horribly uncomfortable. Didn't sleep much due to that.

Proximity and Access to Florence

The staff was very helpful and the hotel very pleasant. Fiesole offers many very good restaurants as well. The town is on a regular bus route so access into Florence is quick. This will be my choice when we return.

Good location but very tired

Great place to stay for visits to Florence but the interior of the room we had was very run down. The pool was covered by a tarpaulin and didn't look to have been in service for quite some time. The Blu Bar (attached to the hotel) not sure if under the same managment but the food there was dire.
