The quiet, green, and serene courtyard is the absolute best place to be after the busy day. I had moved hotels after spending the weekend away from Florence, and ended up returning to the Villa Royal after one night at the other hotel. An absolute paradise with a beautiful pool area and onsite parking, which I think is pretty rare.
We had a great a stay at Villa Royal. My husband and I stayed in one of the detached rooms located near the pool. It was clean and cozy. As soon as we checked in, the staff at the reception were very helpful and gave us great information for our stay. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had with a great variety of food.
One minor thing to note is that the shower was a bit small. The specific shower that we used should probably be resealed as the sealant appeared quite old and some water would leak out of the shower and on to the floor.
The staff were very kind and welcoming even though we arrived quite late. The elevator to the second floor wasn’t working during our stay, but the hotel helped us carry our luggage. The room was very quiet and had a charming, antique atmosphere.
The hotel is very service focused. The daily breakfast has many different options and items. The staff is friendly. Rooms are large and clean. Daily room cleaning.
Lovely, historic hotel a short walk from everything and yet felt secluded. Friendly, helpful staff, and the pool was a godsend in the summer heat. Nice breakfast too! Great rooms, quiet and had AC. Recommended to everyone!
Friendly staff, good breakfast, wonderful ambiance around the pool and good location in the city. Wonderful history and rustic old building with history. I loved it.
