Had a few days here to kick off a two week tour of Italy. It was perfect! There are some great views as well as beautiful gardens. We had some great downtime to recover from a long flight in, but were close enough to Cortona to enjoy some light touring and meals. Had dinner at the resort restaurant and it was a five star experience.

Loved this hotel!! Everyone was so helpful especially David, Nickolai and Giovanni. The breakfast which was included was wonderful! Fresh fruit, eggs, freshly made cappuccino (or other coffees) pastries etc. The hotel was in walking distance to many sites and pick up areas for our arranged tours. We picked it because it was close to the train station where we took the bullet train to Venice. David made dinner reservations for us in a wonderful restaurant because we were celebrating our anniversary. Before we left to go to dinner we were surprised by a lovely bottle of wine in our room, We highly recommend this hotel

I spent a couple of hours in Palazzo Castri spa recently. Afterwards my skin felt exfoliated, cleaner a softer . The message was the best part. A special thanks has to go out to Ines the massage therapist who's also a qualified physiotherapist. I almost drifted off to sleep several times because her massage was so relaxing. All in all it was an afternoon well spent.

Our 4-star Hotel in Florence overlooking Brunelleschi's Cathedral is firmly established as one of the best and most famous hotels in downtown.The highly sought-after Uffizi Gallery, together with many other Museums and other primary attractions, are all within close distance. The 96 bedrooms and suites are equipped with all amenities and features of a charming property such as direct dial telephone, Internet Access, Satellite TV and in-room minibar. Wireless connectivity is available throughout, including our conference areas and the American Bar. The 4-star Brunelleschi Hotel originates from the recovered invaluable historic structures of the ancient tower named 'Pagliazza' and the medieval church of San Michele in Palchetto. For those who love going back to the past, our very own Private Museum, with exhibits unveiled during the reconstruction project, is a moment not to be missed.
This is a 5-star hotel experience in all but name. The service was exemplary. The rooms, though on the smaller size (not surprising given the that the hotel is home to some of the oldest parts of Florence), are luxurious. The doormen, reception and concierge staff could not have done more to assist. The real shining star (aside from the service) is the 2-star Santa Elisabetta restaurant. Beautiful classical yet highly refined Italian cookery, where traditionally heavy dishes were transformed into something as light as a feather. Just incredible.

+ top location, amazing views, spacious room, free parking, very helpful staff on the desk - breakfast is poor, for example- in season of cherry and strawberries they serve kiwi and pineapple , there is not liquid honey, only with wax and is really not good when you have your tea., also the staff there is unhelpful and ungracious. Except this, our stay was wonderful and we will choose the hotel again.
