Hotel Relais Certosa, Florence

Idyllically located in 15 acres of verdant Tuscan parkland, this hotel in Florence (Firenze) is part of the prestigious Bettoja Hotel Group. The lovely historic building in which the hotel now stands was originally the guest quarters of the Certosa dei Galluzo Monastery, at one time one of Europe's most important religious centres and a destination of pilgrimages from all over the continent.

There are 69 airy, comfortable guest rooms, all with en-suite facilities featuring a choice between a bathtub and shower, plus a handy, built-in hairdryer and a range of complimentary toiletries. Rooms all have direct-dial telephone, fax machine, satellite television with movie channel, a desk and lamp and a personal safe for your valuables. There is also a well-stocked minibar and air-conditioning (and central heating in winter) throughout the property. Young children are welcome, as are small, well-behaved pets, and the hotel has a babysitting service as well as an attractive outdoor play area.

There is a pleasant restaurant in this Florence hotel, serving a delicious medley of typical Tuscan dishes, which guests can enjoy either in the restaurant itself or out in the garden, under the shade of the elegant gazebo. The Firenze-Certosa exit of the A1 highway is just a few minutes away and world-famous sights such as the Ponte Vecchio and Brunelleschi's unforgettable Duomo are just ten minutes away, thanks to the hotel's complimentary shuttle service. The hotel also has table tennis and lawn tennis facilities.
