Relais Villa Ulivi ****

Information about Relais Villa Ulivi ****
B&B - Via Bolognese 163 50139 Firenze (FI), Italia

Villa Ulivi is a beautiful, impressive and luxurious fifteenth century Florentine Villa located very close to Florence historic centre.
Access to the downtown is attainable via a comfortable walk or a short bus ride down the famous Via Bolognese.
This grand Villa captures both the traditional Tuscan style and atmosphere while incorporating the comforts and amenities available today.
With vineyards and olive orchards that beautify the grounds, Villa Ulivi allows for a relaxing retreat from the hustle-and-bustle of the nearby city centre.
Villa Ulivi is located in a prestigious residential area of Florence, very close to the centre and to the main monuments and attractions.
In spite of its central situation, Villa Ulivi is immersed in a garden planted with fragrant roses and lavender, at the end of a shady horse-chestnuts drive. Large and elegant rooms, illuminated by the Tuscan sun and open onto the gardens of the historic Villa, have been added in the course of the last two centuries to the fascinating ancient wine-cellars and horse-stables.
From the main terrace of Villa Ulivi, guests can easily enjoy the view of Florence and of its incomparable, unspoilt countryside. Infact, the main terrace is situated on the top of the building and it opens onto a wide view of the unique Florentine landscape, that was described by Fernand Braudel as "the most exciting countryside in the world".
At Villa Ulivi, furnishings have been chosen, with an eclectic taste, both among Tuscan pieces of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and from the most heterogeneous styles, creating an atmosphere that is, at the same time, classical and particular, and overall suitable for the guests who want to spend a first class charming holiday, as it is usual in the most fascinating historic Florentine Villas.
During their holidays, guests also can use a private chapel for romantic religious services; on request, the best chefs can delight you with a delicious private party ...
Periodically owners also organize cooking classes.
Excellent wine and oil are produced at the Villa.
It is also available, in the common areas, an Internet point and the Telefax service.
English, French, Polish and Russian are spoken.

Nice ambiente, kind phillipine personnel, limited choice but good breakfast- excellent croissants! You can´t wish more for the reasonable price

das hotel war schön nur war der service nicht spürbar. War so gut wie niemand da und das frühstück war sehr klein. Es gibt weder telefon noch Fernseher auf dem Zimmer.

The Villa hat a fantastic location , very comfortable and quite. The team is warm, friendly and ready to help. It was described that the rooms have a hairdryer, but I have no one in my room. Besides it was also mentioned in the website that the local is a few minutes from the Fortessa da baso so that I thought I may reach it walking, but these few minutes are in the reality 15-20 minutes with the bus. I think this should be corrected. The breakfast is not very attractive and somehow late 09:30.Any way it was fine , I felt myself at home. Many thanks for the friendly team.

It would have been nice to know which bus to take from the Central Station in Florence to Villa Ulivi (the bus no.), when coming to the town center.

Eine sehr schöne alte Parkanlage mit Villa! Leider alles völlig ungepflegt! Die Mitarbeiterinnen sind wohl ohne Ausbildung in Service, Hauspflege, Frühstückzubereitung usw. und völlig überfordert im Umgang mit Gästen. Verbrannte oder matschige Croissants, billigstes Toastbrot usw. - das Frühstück lohnt nicht. Ungeputzte Zimmer und Bäder; kein Wechsel der Wäsche! Für die Terrasse braucht man seinen eigenen Campingstuhl. Mit Engagement und Liebe für den schönen Ort ließe sich da einiges verbessern. Es es ist ein idealer Ort, um Florenz per Bus zu erreichen.
Die Villa lebt von Einmaltouristen - schade.

Habíamos reservado 3 habitaciones dobles, con cama grande, hace 2 meses. Al llegar nos encontramos con 1 habitación individual con cama pequeña y una "especie de apartamento" para 4 personas, con un único baño, sin apenas agua, sin jabón, uno de los dormitorios sin ventana, sin armarios( la ropa por el suelo). Todo helado, sin calefacción, y sin ánimo de encenderla. Una alfombra destrozada tapando algo peor, un cristal roto en un dormitorio.... pero eso sí una casona muy "noble". Vaya timo !!! Me falta espacio para describirlo todo.
