Hotel Villa Olmi Firenze

We just came back from this wonderful relaxing place only 15 min cab ride from Florence. We stayed in room 312 and it was as magical as in the pictures. Spacious room with high ceilings with incredible ornaments. Extremely clean and the AC was working well at a super hot week. They have a really good and generous breakfast and I really liked the pool and gardens which was a great perk after a long flight from New York. special thanks goes to the amazing staff who went out of their way to make our stay perfect. Anything from Alessandro’s recommendations were to eat and visit, the gracious waiters, the women in the front including Antonia and Laura the manager who all went above and beyond for us. A huge reason of why we enjoyed our trip so much. Thank you Villa Olmi, you are one of a kind !

Wow, Wow, Wow!!! We cannot say enough good things about this hotel stay. Upon arrival we could not pick our jaw off the ground. Upon checking in we were told we had an upgrade do to being with Costco Travel. Our jaw again hit the floor when we saw our room. Our room was one of only twelve in the building, spacious, beautiful, well appointed. The King size bed looked small in the room. The lawns were spectacular and relaxing when walking. We would take our breakfast on the patio near the pool enjoying the morning sun. In the evening we would sit by the pool and drink a glass of wine. Breakfasts were great! One fly in the ointment: what's will the watered down orange juice and hot house tomato's? There is a farmers market less than a mile away with field ripened tomato's that are wonderful! The Staff was very helpful and efficient and friendly. Upon checking out we were informed that our wine and cappuccinos were complimentary as we were with Costco Travel.

I planned a long trip with my entire adult family (8 people) so you can imagine there were a lot of different opinions. One thing we all agreed upon was how blown away we were by this hotel. For the quality service and beautiful and comfortable environment, this price cannot be beat. The hotel is stunning. It is sophisticated with an old world charm but without the musty dustiness of other hotels that have that vibe. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The lobby was so beautiful and the rooms were small but lovely. The room temperature was perfect on a hot early fall week and controllable (AC worked great). The rooms had nice shower products, robes, lighting, and all the necessary amenities. They also had power converters in the wall in the bathroom which was nice for charging multiple things if you only bring one adapter. The shower had great water pressure and your given extra towels up front which I so appreciate. The bed was the most comfortable we slept in in Italy (although I feel like that bar is very low in general haha one of the only things the US does better than Italy). The garden/pool and grounds made you really feel like you were deep in Tuscany on a true vacation somewhere far away. Meanwhile you are 15 minutes from Florence, which you can conveniently get to on the hotels bus service, if you time it right. Above all else, the service was top notch. One of our family members was in desperate need of a doctor for a back injury and the hotel set up a visit with a doctor immediately in our room. Because of this injury we had to adjust our schedule and plans and they helped us in many different ways and were generally very attentive and kind people. They helped us arrange a very nice driver and car service to take us through Chianti for a day of wine tours. A few notes to share on what I would change! Their restaurant food was truly delicious but it is a limited menu so I wouldn’t plan to eat more than one or two meals there unless you are ok with that. That being said, they had an awesome breakfast buffet that I definitely think is worth it. There was no pool side service and that was fine, you can walk up to the bar for a drink. but it was hard to find a snack if you choose to spend the day by the pool! The shower was really hard to climb into, although once in it was very nice Just a little high off the ground. Still not complaining bc it was clean, hot, and great pressure!! The bus service was definitely a perk but you had to sign up at least a day in advance to get a spot on the bus and they were flexible when you signed up and bailed but they do need to know so you have to communicate that you aren’t going on it if you change your plans. For me that was hard to commit to and there were limited departure times. It was also difficult after a few late dinners to get a taxi back to the hotel from the city center, so make sure you know where the closest taxi stand is by where you go! I studied abroad in Florence in college so I was sad to go back to Florence and not stay in the heart of the city. but now that I’ve stayed here, I don’t think I’ll ever not stay at this hotel. It really was a beautiful and special place. We booked it bc we wanted access to restaurants and to have the ability to come and go independently but we really wanted to also experience the beauty and relaxedness of Tuscany. we just didn’t know how to commit to a Tuscany villa further into Tuscany with 8 adults for four days. it felt like we would be limited by our options for plans since we’d all have to get rental cars from point a to b and none of the options we looked at with a pool and gorgeous view seemed like they had walking access to a town or restaurants. If you want to get the vibe of a Tuscan escape but with the freedom to hop in an Uber or on a shuttle bus and see some sites or go to dinner, this is your hotel!! If you want to go to Florence but are looking for some greenery to enjoy your morning coffee leisurely in, this is your hotel!

We stayed at this wonderful Inn on a recent vacation to Italy that we booked with a touring company. This place is fantastic if you are looking for a cozy and quiet place to stay that is outside of the busy city of Florence. The grounds are beautiful and the pool area was very relaxing. It is within walking distance of a few great places to eat and if you want to get into the city it is a quick cab ride. The staff was very professional and helpful and took care of all of our needs and requests. A few months before our tour started I was easily able to book an extra night and they arranged for us to stay in the same room for the entire stay. The international breakfast had many options that allowed us to get the great nutrition needed for those long days exploring the surrounding cities in Tuscany (Lucca, Siena, Pisa, etc.) The room was very clean and functional and serviced each day that we were out exploring all of Tuscany. Thanks for a great vacation. We loved every moment that we spent there.

An oasis of relaxation in the hotel and around the hotel! Villa Olmi is a very wonderful hotel complex close to Florence but still enough away in quiet surroundings with beautiful and very well maintained green park. The hotel has several buildings with rooms located not far from the main building. The rooms are spacious and air-conditioned. The pool is sufficiently large and sun loungers comfortable and numerous. Refreshing drinks are available at the bar, which are also served by the pool. In the restaurant, breakfast and dinner are served. The wine list is rich in local and national good wines. Breakfast is plentiful and dinner a la carte. The hotel staff is pleasantly friendly and helpful. The fitness room is a bit smaller, but adequately equipped, with a bit older equipment, apart from the dumbbells, which are new. The path to the fitness room leads through the stylishly furnished underground floor. It is exciting to walk there and worth it to experience it. In general, the whole hotel is very stylishly furnished and invites you to linger. The hotel offers a cheap shuttle bus to the city of Florence, which is a relaxed alternative if you don't want to drive your own car into the busy city. We had a wonderful, relaxing and romantic stay there.
