Boscolo Granducato

From the reception to the rooms, this is a deluxe property. However, it appears as though the builders ran out of money when building the parking lot. Clients must drag their luggage across a lot paved with little white stones. The extra services in the hotel, from the restaurant to internet services are very, very expensive. The fixed prix dinner started at 42 euros without wine. Internet access was a half a euro per minute. When I asked the front desk for a map of Florence, he had a standard visitor's map of the Florence area. The location of the hotel was somewhere off the map. The main reason to stay at this hotel must be for the hotel, not the location. read more

Polite, English speaking staff, beautiful grounds and buildings but in a industrial area. Though given instructions by the staff over the phone, location was tricky to find. Very upscale modern rooms, traditionally beautiful oasis in the grounds. I would stay there again if not wanting to go into central Florence. Very close to airport.
