A Room With a View

Usually, when going to Florence, the view is not really as important as the location. Most people just want to be in the middle of town so they are close to everything. Florence is NOT that big! You can comfortably stay on the South side of the river and enjoy a gorgeous view of the city from a tranquil villa on a hill.


Villa la Vedetta has 17 beautifully appointed rooms, GORGEOUS grounds, a fantastic pool, the perfect deck for watching the sun set on Florence and a top gastronomic restaurant. Basically, it has it all. Their Vista Suite (pictured) has massive windows looking on the city and can accommodate up to 4 people with a king bed downstairs and a convertible sofa upstairs.

The pool too is a fantastic way to unwind in the afternoons – following a full day of sites and shopping. Not many hotels in Florence have a pool, so this really is a treat – especially in those hot summer months!

Really, Villa la Vedetta was one of my favorite hotels of this past trip. I really loved everything about it.
