“Located a reasonable distance from the city center, this villa possesses a distinctive character that sets it apart from conventional hotels. The building, once a consulate, showcases original frescoes and antique furniture, creating a 19th-century diplomat's residence vibe which makes it more of an interesting bed and breakfast. I found the garden a particularly welcome feature, a peaceful refuge within the city.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Villa Liana is often described as a charming and cozy retreat, conveniently located about 10-20 minutes by foot from Florence's main attractions such as Santa Maria del Fiore. Guests frequently appreciate the spacious rooms that some describe as apartment-like, and some rooms even include a big bathtub with shower. The delicious breakfast is a highlight for many, and it's often enjoyed in a breakfast room reminiscent of Jane Austen films. A few guests have mentioned that some rooms might be located on the second floor without elevator access, but the hotel's location near a large park makes it a great value.

the staff seemed friendly. the room was large. i found the breakfast had a good selection with items like croissants and scrambled eggs. it was great!!!
the traffic on the piazza donatello was loud at night. double glazing is needed. also, the hair dryer was horrible. it was a little far from the town center.

average experience, some issues noted

poor ventilation disruptive street
the room i was initially assigned lacked proper ventilation. it felt stuffy and somewhat claustrophobic. additionally, i found the noise levels from the nearby street quite disruptive, especially during the early morning hours. this impacted my ability to sleep soundly (and i value that highly).
