We enjoyed our stay at Park Palace. There is really nothing that we would compalin about. The room could stand an updating but we were happy with it. In driving past the hotel upon our arrival we had difficulty actually seeing the sign. We couldn't find the number and being strangers to the area and considering the speed that drivers in Italy and their lack of courtesy to us a larger sign out front would have been helpful.

The Swimming pool was unavailable for swimm. The room was small and without any special facility as usual present in a 4 star hotel

A pretty decent hotel just outside the main city on a hill in a nice green area - lots of parkland and greenery to walk around and a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the main city. There is a good bus service (no. 12 and no.13) which makes getting into the city quite easy. You can also walk it in around 30 minutes but the walk back is mainly uphill and after a hard day's touring, may not be what you really want to do. Overall, the hotel was really good - it seemed for some reason, to be very popular with German tourists (no idea why). It has a little pool for those who fancy a dip and in the evenings, it has a nice verandah to sit upon and enjoy a quiet drink - also nice for breakfast too The only thing which we liked less was the bathroom with our room, which although clean and in generally OK shape, was a bit tatty and in need of refurbishment. Apart from that, a great hotel and a good place to stay whilst in Florence - probably better than most of the city centre establishments

The hotel and location were exactly as I expected from the descriptions and reviews. I got a large double room for single use and had no problem getting a good nights sleep. Breakfast was also very good. This was an excellent base for visiting all of the sites in Florence. The tourist bus stops right outside the hotel and public buses also provide a good service. The down hill walk into Florence is OK but take the bus back. There is no restaurant in the hotel and only two nearby. The Terasse is excellent with beautiful views of Florence but a bit pricey. The other can't remember the name told me on Saturday night that they had no tables for singles although there seemed to be plenty free (even though I was well dressed for a tourist).

Park Palace Hotel is a Villa which was converted to a hotel in the hills above Florence. We found the property beautiful and a wonderful place to stay a tad outside the bustling main city of Florece. Staff was very helpful and rooms were more spacious than expected.

Awesome staff, but a very run down hotel. The matresses & pillows were very uncomfortable. We rented the suite that had access to a balcony, but you could not see out from your windows. The hotel is basically a large house that was converted. Breakfast was ok. Swimming pool was empty and unsafe for kids. There are 2 or 3 employees that we saw, all very accomadating and NICE. One went out of her way to book us a car on Easter. The walk to the city takes a while, take a cab back since it's uphill. Family restaurant 800 feet on the right is awesome. Check out the well.

this hotel is quiet and beautiful. The small road behind the hotel which allows to go by foot in 15 minutes to ponte vecchio is magnificient

We stayed for 2 nights at the end of December and venere.com offered a very good price and we were given a very comfortable room, probably as the hotel was not full. We were pleased with the secure free parking and the staff provided us with the route for the beautiful walk down to Firenze and marked all the nearby restaurants on a map. We caught the bus back to the hotel from Firenze and bought the 1.20 euro bus tickets from the tabaccheria near the bus stop. We have seen comments about the buffet breakfast and would agree but we did notice that Italian guests did not drink the filter coffee; instead they asked for espresso or cappuccino, which was freshly made for them! We would stay here again but not at the full room rate.

We had not realised quite how far this was out of central Florence as the map did not indicate the winding hill road. Luckily we took a cab! There is an excellent bus service into the central station and once you know this travel is easy. Fabulous views over Florence especially at night. This hotel would be described as shabby, old world but only 3 star. We ate at a fabulous restaurant just down the road (but be warned not many other places nearby) with a very romantic setting, which was a pity as we had left our husbands at home! Great homemade limone liqueur.
