This is a grand old villa located just south of Florence. If the owners spent some money to renovate, it would be a beautiful and quiet property. Unfortunately, it has obviously been severely neglected. The pros: lobby and breakfast areas are quite nice, location is quiet, central Florence only about 25 minute walk or 10 minute cab, free parking. The... more

When we first arrived, the place looked impressive. It seemed we were in an old Tuscan villa. It had a beautiful entrance and living room with terrace on the main level of the hotel. When we got to our room, however, we were extremely disappointed. The furniture was cheap and old, like from the 60's. The carpet was dirty and... more

Very quiet hotel outside the city center. If you don't have a car or are not willing to take a bus it may prove a problem since there is no restaurant in the hotel. Our main problem was the fact that it was dirty: dead bloody mosquitos on the walls (whose original color was long gone), very old bathroom (1970's... more

The hotel was perfect for the price with excellent quality of service. This hotel never purports to be a "palace" and should not be judged as one. The reviewer from England must have taken the hotel name literally without reading up on any of the information prior to arrival. It is an old villa. And very well kept. All of... more

Hotel Park Palace Disappointed........ We arrived and entered up the drive to a beautiful "palace", our room had no electricity, which was later switched on, only for it to fail early next morning. We were moved to a different room that morning. Hassle you could do without, and should have been checked prior to our visit. The rooms were large... more

My friend and I stayed in the Park Palace this summer and we thought it was great. We had a corner room on an upper floor so the view was on 2 sides of the room. It was great to look out and see other villas on the hills. The view was really cool. The staff was very helpful. The... more

The Park Palace hotel is fantastic. The rooms were wonderful, with a private terrace. The whole place is lovely, a villa that provides a quiet oasis for you to relax after the excitement of Florence. There was a nice, picturesque swimming pool, very refreshing. The breakfast was good, and we ate out on the dining terrace. The staff was very... more

Staying at Park Palace is like experiencing a visit to a Italian villa. It is perched on top of a beautiful hill and is a throw back to another time. The manager (a young woman whose name I wish I wrote down) made the visit work well for us as she went out of her way to help us, and... more

We stayed at Park Palace April 6-9, 2004. From the train station take bus 12 directly to the hotel and bus 13 will take you back to the station. It was a very nice and clean hotel. They had no problem reserving our tickets for the uffizi and academia. The walking path (Lenardo DeVinci ?) is a scenic roughly 1/2... more
