Four-star hotel in Florence, accommodation in Florence outskirts

Hotel Villa Stanley, Florence

This four-star Florence hotel is a luxurious retreat in a quiet neighbouring suburb of the city. With a private shuttle service taking you to the city centre in just 20 minutes, the Hotel Villa Stanley is convenient for visiting Florence's many outstanding galleries and museums, but the serene gardens and beautiful fourteenth-century building provide an altogether more relaxing environment than you will find in the central zone.

Once in town, take the time to visit Brunelleschi's spectacular Duomo and the neighbouring Campanile (or bell tower), designed by Giotto. Also a must-see is the famous Uffizi Gallery, home to Botticelli's Birth of Venus and a vast collection of paintings by European masters from across the centuries. Michelangelo's iconic David is one of the city's best-known treasures, and it can be seen in the flesh (as it were) at the Galleria dell'Accademia. Other attractions which deserve a visit include the Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce church, Palazzo Vecchio and Boboli Gardens.

This hotel in Florence provides a superior quality of accommodation for a thoroughly restful break in the city. There is a swimming pool and an all-weather tennis court where you can burn off energy, as well as excellent conference facilities for business guests. The restaurant serves regional specialities and international favourites prepared to the highest standards, and there is a bar where guests can unwind. Services on offer at the hotel include currency exchange, luggage storage, photocopying, internet access and a 24-hour front desk. The plush, air-conditioned bedrooms are decorated in an eighteenth-century style, and come with private bathroom, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, minibar, hairdryer and safe for valuables.
