Top Arcetri Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hotel La Scaletta Al Ponte Vecchio

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay here! Right in all the action and steps from great sights and restaurants!"

The Social Hub Florence Lavagnini

8/10 Good

"The rooftop bar was really cool and the breakfast very good. We tried the restaurant and the food we had was to a high standard. The negatives were that the room was very cramped, both my wife and I banged our legs on the corner of the bed. The shower was very small, although good."

Hotel Paris

Plus Florence - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Ok"

Art Hotel Villa Agape

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property up in the Arcetri hills with real quiet and a view over Florence you don't get in the center. Rooms were clean and the grounds are lovely. Staff were helpful and sorted our transport both arriving and leaving, which mattered on a morning with an early train. Worth knowing it's a hill above the city, not a walk with luggage, so plan on a taxi. If you want calm at the end of the day rather than stepping straight into the crowds, it's a good trade."

Hotel Calimala Florence

10/10 Excellent

"The customer service and every staff person was AMAZING, we stay there every time we come to Italy. Outstanding hotel!"
