About
Set in an elegant 18th-century building, Villa Royal features a garden, car park, and swimming pool less than 0.6 mi from Florence cathedral. This splendid Florentine villa was built in 1700. It was a noble family residence up until 1956 when it was converted into a hotel. It is set in a green neighborhood of Florence, next to the Fortezza da Basso exhibition center and its park. Each guest room at Villa Royal is air conditioned. The rooms and common areas are all tastefully decorated with period furnishings. This hotel guarantees a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and an attentive service. The swimming pool is great for a refreshing dip after a day sightseeing around Florence. The car park is available at an additional cost. Both Palazzo dei Congressi conference center and Santa Maria Novella Train Station are 0.6 mi away.

Pros +
- Staff and location are just what I expected--excellent!
- Location is excellent, parking place at the door. The staff is very friendly.
- 5/5 stars! The hotel was incredibly clean and well-maintained. Perfect location for walking to all the main sites, and having secure parking was a massive plus. Highly recommend for a stress-free stay in Florence.
Cons -
- I would suggest free bottled water everyday when room has been prepped especially the week I stayed in Rome the temperature was extremely hot.
- Single room is not comfortable, very unfourtunate position of the furniture, I missed a chair for sitting, to be able to work on computer. That is at least one would expect in a 4 star accomodation.
- Besides I didnt use, the parking lot costs 30 euros per night.

Bella location, comoda al centro e tranquilla
Amazing Coffe break. Location up to 15 min walking from the train station and most ofattractions, which is close enough to main attractions and far enough from the crowd and noises during the night. The hotel seems a palacete with old style furnsihes in the spirit of Firenze. kindly staff. large room with view for hotels Garden, which is beatiful.

Location was perfect! Staff was very helpful and nice. We really enjoyed our stay here. Also we traveled with our dog and this was one of the rare properties that didn’t charge us for this service.
Everything was great
Very good location, so near the city center, good and tasteful breakfast, nice garden. The room was very big and beautifull.
Historic building well located offering all you need for a enjoyable comfortable stay in Central Florence.
The room was tiny, but it was warm and cosy - much appreciated in December! Even if I arrived few hours before the check-in, I could access the room and enjoy the city without my baggage. The breakfast was delicious and the personel friendly and very helpful.
My single room was not so fancy as on the pictures and it was not possible to open the shutters to get some sunlight.
Very good breakfast, nice apartment in 2 levels, easy to get to the Duomo, very beautiful villa, friendly staff, safe neighborhood
Perfect location, 10-15 minutes walk into the centre, you can choose a slightly different street to walk down each time and see a different piece of Florence. The main thing for me were the staff, just the absolute best - really made our stay a great experience. Old world charm.
Rooms could do with a few more sockets - but you can't have everything. The smallest negative.
Niko was amazing such a friendly gentleman. Also the room was very comfortable (large bed) and it was in a very quiet location which is rare in Florence.
Really great hotel in the central Florence with swimming pool, amazing breakfast and perfect staff
I have stayed in Florence many times, and the location was the best I've ever had when I've driven to the city. Close enough to the sites to walk but not in ZTL (restricted zone) so no stress with driving in Florence. The bedroom was delightful - lovely features - nice to have a fridge. Absolute bonus to have a swimming pool after hot days of site seeing. The reception rooms were very nice.
The bathroom is a bit small when two people want to be in it. I think the parking is quite expensive and, as it was critical to us, I think you should consider your budget. The pool was a bit crowded and the loungers were close together, but I guess a lot of guests wanted to use it!
Great location, well within walking distance to all monuments, restaurants and bars.
Very clean. Extremely comfortable bed. Friendly staff especially the breakfast service. Very good breakfast choices. Room was really big too with our own terrace which was nice!
The only thing we didn’t like was the bathroom towels were quite old and thin and off-white. Had definitely seen better days. But clean & changed daily of course.
Nice villa in the heart of Florence Reach breakfast buffet
No sound isolation Very warm rooms
Breakfast was tradional hot and cold items with bread and fruit. Very good!
The location of the hotel is close to the center, so all the sights can be reached on foot. Also, the hotel has its own parking lot, so there is plenty of parking space. The hotel also has a swimming pool.
Parking space is paid.
Pool (but short time), bar(but too expensive)
1. Too much additional costs without notice2. unkind staffs3. They closed main gate for a long time before we take a trip, stuck in long time. Weired hotel
