“Lovely Accommodation”

Residence Michelangiolo

Very pleased with our choice of the picturesque Residence Michelangiolo for our stay in Florence. After a busy days site seeing, in apparently unseasonal heat (38-40 celcius) we found the Residence a welcome respite from the high temperature, the crowds and the hustle and bustle of the city.
Loved our room, it was spacious, elegantly furnished, cool and spotlessly clean and best of all it had coffee and tea making facilities - a rarity in Italy. Angela and Cherubino are delightful hosts and assisted us with bookings and other arrangements for visits to attractions before and during our stay.
As mentioned by others the Residence is located in a quiet area of Florence and sits to the edge of all the attractions of the city. We enjoyed the walk into the city but used the little local bus - about a two minute walk from the Residence, when we tired of walking - which wasn't often despite the heat.
We really liked the restaurants around the Residence as well. The food was good and the prices for the most reasonable. The Trattoria down the road was a particular stand out - take your Italian phrase book to unravel the menu though!
The Residence Michelangiolo will definately be our choice should we be lucky enough to return to Florence.

This is the best way to see Florence, in my opinion. Lodged on the tree-lined Viale Michelangielo, it is a welcome rest from the hub-bub and crowds of the city, but it's only a 20-minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio, or 20 minutes in the other direction to the church of San Miniato, with a stellar view of the entire city! The rooms are huge, especially by European standards, and include a kitchenette inside a large armoire. Angela and Cherubino are friendly, and will help you with your Italian if you like. We have already decided to stay here on our next trip to Florence.

We loved this hotel and it's location. We stayed here during the summer making this location a great escape from the crowds. We enjoyed the 15 minute walk along the river into town. If you don't feel like walking, there is a bus stop 5 minutes away.

The rooms were very spacious and the staff was very nice. I asked the hotel to make reservations to see David for us at the very last minute via email and I received a very prompt response back with everything taken care of. Thank you!

We will be staying here again!

The reception was warm and caring. Rooms especially comfortable, clean and beautiful. Location is quiet with parking and greenery, though a little out of the city but the 15-20 minute walk enjoyable and an experience in itself. The breakfast fare could be improved. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel has been accurately described in many, many good reviews, as a lovely place outside of the city center. Here are the salient features:

-Air conditioner worked WELL (not a given in Italy)

-Warm, very hospitable staff. Can't say enough good things about our hosts.

-large, beautiful rooms, we felt we were in a country villa. Perfect place for a honeymoon.

-It is a pretty good walk from the center of town--- about 20-40 minutes---after walking the city from 0900 until 2100, walking back to the room was slightly perturbing----albeit a lovely stroll along the Arno. (We should have made use of the nearby bus stop)

The bottom line:
We absolutely loved our stay (sadly, it was only one night) and can't wait to return!

This TripAdvisor Member:
- Liked — Friendly staff, little extras (stocked FREE goodies in fridge), huge suites
- Disliked — It's a good walk to city center, but worth it
