The hotel is located a few steps from the Duomo. Really!!! It is that close! Which is great. But, it was very difficult to find, even with GPS!!! I do not recommend driving there. For me it was an absolute nightmare (though my husband, the driver of the car, thought it was fine!?). When we eventually found it, we had... More

Really liked this hotel. The owner was so nice, and yes, the cappuccino is wonderful! The room was very clean and comfortable, and the view from the terrace is breathtaking!

We stayed at the Villani for 5 nights, and it's the perfect place to stay in Florence: a charming and pleasantly small, family-run hotel almost a stone’s throw from the Duomo. In fact, if you manage to get a room with the stunning view of the Duomo and the Campanile, you can leave your alarm clock at home, as the... More

Our favorite things about Hotel Villani were the walking distance from the S. M. N. train station, the location (next to the Duomo), the view, the service (Erminio), and the comfortable room. Best cappucino in the morning from Erminio. He even helped us make reservations for the Uffizi as we had forgotten. We only stayed here two nights, but we... More

My husband and I stayed here last winter. Florence is one of my favorite cities and this little hotel came highly recommended by friends who frequent Florence. This hotel although "no-frills" is amazing because it is located literally steps from the Duomo and a ton of bars, restaurants and shops. The location is so ideal we will never stay anywhere... More

Amazing views, best terrace in the city, free wifi, SUPER close to Duomo, shops, and restaurants (and nightlife if you're into that :) ). The staff is AWESOME, Erminio is the best cappucino maker in Florence, and he's super helpful if you just ask! On the fourth floor, with an elevator (which is AMAZING for Italy), and right across the... More

A budget hotel that is walking distance from the train station, and strategically located a block from the Duomo, with many restaurants and shops in the surrounding area. We were given a room facing another building even though the hotel did not seem to be even half full; clean though, including the bathroom. Room had basic furnishings which looked dated.... More
