I enjoyed to stay at Hotel 500. When I arrived, I was carrying suitcases, the doorman saw me, I didn't understand why he (anyone) didn't help me. Anyway, the hotel has been renovated I guess, good (not very big) rooms, very quite location, nice restaurant (but the music is always the same at dinner and breakfast, they should change style)....

We were on a Globus Essential Europe tour. From Rome we went to Florence on 18th october and stayed at hotel 500 which is quite a bit outside the main city. I guess this is because we have to start for Venice the next morning and that is why probably they kept us away from the city to avoid the... More

Set in the countryside just outside Florence (about 10 minutes driving). The rooms are spacious and clean. We dined at the restaurant the first night and the staff wasn't particularly friendly but the food made up for it. Unfortunately this cannot be said about breakfast the following day (Sunday): even though we went to have our breakfast quite early in... More

Hotel 16 Km away from city center Firenze. Great Tuscany style renovated 500 year old building, perfect decoration. great service from front desk to breakfast & dinner service. Hotel not yet known by tourists, hence very quiet. Fantastic pool, sometimes a little noisy from highway traffic, but not annoying. Large family rooms (duplex) ideal for family with children.

Second time we visited this hotel. It's locations might appear negative (in a logistic zone near the the high ways north-south and east-west. The location is perfect to us: immediate access to Florence, Sienna (Chianti), Lucca, Pistoia and all other yewels.The hotel has free parking, very nice pool and a splendid building. The owners recently took the management inhouse (contracted... More

After reading all the previous reviews before our stay we had already prepared ourselves to expect the negative points that others had already mentioned. Pros - The rooms are a great size and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The grounds themselves are very nice. The staff on the front desk were extremely helpful. They helped me to book all my...

We booked last minute and chose this hotel as a central point for our day trips through Tuscany. We stayed in two deluxe joining rooms as we were a family of four. The rooms are fantastic, our deluxe rooms. The rooms are fanatastic, comfortable, and more than we expected. Staff: The staff at this hotel need to improve their bedside... More

While traveling on a Collette tour, we spent two nights at this lovely hotel; albeit with a rather remote location. I believe a car is necessary for convenience. Our Deluxe room was very comfortable; the staff was exceedingly gracious and helpful (even with our language difficulties); the restaurant was beautifully decorated and the appetizers and dinner were a delight. We... More

My wife and I stayed here for three nights to coincide with the UK Aug bank holiday. Firstly it is not in Florence so it is pointless getting precious about the location. It is as others have said a 25 Euro taxi fare into Florence. It is however more than 50 Euro cheaper than comparable properties in Florence. It is... More
