Hotel is a little gem. On a quiet street with a lovely green garden/parking area in the back. Breakfast was abundant and wonderful, especially served by the warm and welcoming Grazia and her colleagues. Sweet park with tiny carousel and lots of children at the end of the block. If you master the bus network the area is well served, and even without, almost everything is still in walking distance. We would gladly return.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel I also stayed there in 2015, the last time I was in Florence. On this occasion there were seven adults, and everyone enjoyed the stay, tremendously. It is a charming building. The staff are very helpful. The breakfast was great. There is a nearby supermarket should you have any needs. I will recommend this hotel to my friends without hesitation.

The check in is the fastest among the hotels we stayed: they took a photo of our passports and then give us the key. The hotel is about two blocks away to bus stops. So it is convenient. The only thing is that we also have to walk a couple of blocks to find restaurants.

This is a bed and breakfast style hotel located in an old residence (with some fascinating history). The vibe is “19th century diplomat’s compound” which a lot of people will love and some may not. It’s definitely not conventional in any way, but it’s an ornate and distinctive building located walking distance to the city center. Staff was also great. If you don’t like boring sterile hotels, this is your place.

Disappointed

The hotel was recommended by close friends. However, we were disappointed. At check-in we were not given much information, and it took us a day to discover that there was a living room with tea and coffee facilities. Our room was okay, but generally \"tired,\" in the sense that we felt it well past its prime. Fittings in the bathroom - including shower screen handles - were broken or missing. Our feeling was that the ground floor and second floor had great character, but that beyond that, it was dated. In addition, with no lift, hauling bags up several flights of stairs was a challenge. The front desk was hit and miss and depended who was on it, with the younger staff most helpful. We did mention to one of these younger people that we were disappointed with the room. Overall, our feeling is that for our next visit to Florence we would probably choose a different hotel.

Just make sure you realize hotel is in a restricted area so don't drive right to hotel, find the parking first. Area is great, a bit of a walk to tourist area, but makes it easy to drive to and quieter at night. Beautiful property, gorgeous facility. Highly recommend.

Bedbug bites and no response from hotel

We had a generally nice stay. The hotel was aesthetically pleasing if a little shabby. The breakfast left a bit to be desired, lack of plates and cups and cutlery as much as budget food and absent staff. What really left a lasting impression though was bedbug bites. We have had to spend time and money cleaning our luggage and praying that they didn't hitch a ride.

We emailed the hotel management and received no response. TBH a refund of the room rate wouldn't have been unreasonable, given the situation. So sadly our advice is a clear AVOID.

I was astonished when walked inside of this hotel. The interior space was filled with elegant furnitures and decorations which are of antique styles (they might be real antiques). The room we had was big, which had a corridor. We walked through the corridor to reach our bedroom. It was very clean everywhere. The room in the winter was not warm enough but I still felt cozy after I was covered with comforter. The breakfast was plentiful. They don't have elevator but hotel staff will help to carry the luggage to the second floor. It was a unique and fantastic experience.

Confirm parking availability before you book.

One of the biggest reasons we booked was the parking availability and walkability. However, when we arrived, they said their parking lot was full. We had to wait until the ZTL allowed us to drive into the area (after 4pm) and find street parking. It got us off to a stalled trip, but we were able to find good street parking and we didn't get a ticket.

Overall, the room was nice and the breakfast was fine. I'd probably look around at different hotels if we visit Florence again, but wouldn't rule out staying here... pending parking availability of course. If parking is not an issue for you, it's a fine hotel to stay at.

Bed was harder than i am used to, and fireplace must be used in the winter, because we could smell remnants.
Rooms are older, but charming and clean. They are also pretty sizable.

Lovely place to stay in Florence

I was very pleased with this very lovely \"boutique\" hotel. The staff were very helpful and lovely. I was unhappy with the first room I was given, for a very long stay (12 days), and after a few days during a very busy season they were able to change me without charge to a much larger room. The breakfast was also lovely (eggs, cheeses, meats, all types of cereals and baked goods, etc) and so was the breakfast room. Altogether lovely, especially if it will not bother you to be in a quieter area, five minute walk to a lively piazza and restaurants and fifteen minutes walk to the historic center.

Wonderful location and great ambiance

The Liana Villa Hotel has lovely old touches such as painted ceilings in most bedrooms, mosaic tile floors and painted furniture. It is located a few blocks from the central synagogue, Ruth's kosher restaurant and the Chabad House where kosher meals can be obtained (with pre-reservation) for Shabbat. The rooms vary widely in size, so if that's important to you, ask to see the room before checking in. Breakfast is served in a beautiful dining room upstairs, and there is an adjacent sitting room where one can have tea or coffee almost any time of day. The only problems to report are sluggish service at breakfast (which is served buffet style---items run out and are not replenished quickly) and the long flight of stairs to the upper floor. Parking is available in back of the hotel, with a small adjacent garden that is a pleasant place to sit.

Charming and spacious

This hotel is in a beautiful older building with painted ceilings and chandeliers. The rooms are spacious though the shower is a little small for a larger man. The WiFi was not working on the top floor when we arrived, but the hotel fixed this problem by our third day. The breakfast is better than average with cappuccino or espresso as well as eggs, meats, cheeses, and fruits. The walk from the center of town can be tiresome after a long day of site seeing, but the C2 bus line drops you off a very short distance from the hotel. I recommend taking the C2 from the train station rather than walking to the hotel from the station. If you drive, the hotel is convenient and has available parking. Overall, I would stay here again and recommend the property.

The hotel is honestly one of the most charming I have been to. We stayed on the second floor and had a huge balcony the had old double wooden doors opening into our room and a cute bathroom. The room was spacious and clean and had a beautiful mural covering an entire wall of our hotel. There is no doubt that the furniture is old and the mattresses are not the most comfortable but the hotel is so charming and the area around it was simply amazing that it is truly worth it. The balcony and room were so quaint I honestly felt as if I was staying in a museum. Also it was a very short walk to the Duomo and the walk to and from is through very charming squares and neighborhoods. I would absolutely recommend to anyone going to Florence.
