We stayed for 4 nights in the Residence Michelangiolo at the start of our Tuscany Tour. We arrived from Bologna airport in our hire car and the sat nav found it no problem. Angela the owner greeted us and was very welcoming, gave us loads of info on locality buses etc, which we did not use as it is only... more

We were thrilled with our stay in this beautifully restored villa. Although a fair walk from the centre (good 20 mins) there are buses that stop very nearby. We were able to leave our hire car in their car park which was a great bonus. Angela could not have been more helpful in terms of recommending restaurants and even cycling... more

We had a wonderful stay in the residence michelangiolo. It is in a very peaceful and pleasant location - just about 15 minute walk along the riverside to Florence centre. The owners are extremely pleasant, helpful and friendly and will give you some good advice on sightseeing tours, restaurants etc. We had breakfast with the locals at cafe michelangelo just... more

You get a mini kitchehette with the usual local bakery products in plastic bags to eat in the morning, you... more

Angela and Cherubino are very helpful and gave us good restaurant recommendations along with directions for our onward journey. Lovely large room with high ceilings.... more

Yes, it's all true! Location-the place is close enough to the city to walk to, but far enough to be quiet(sort of...it's Italy, remember?). The rooms are huge and clean. The staff, CH and A, were the best most friendly, courteous hosts we have ever met; Among many things, CH recommended; -a one day drive itinerary thru Siena and San... more

We stayed here at the beginning of July and were absolutely thrilled with the beautiful rooms, spacious bathroom and kitchenette. The residence is ideally situated, far enough away from the centre of Florence to feel peaceful, close enough to see everything you need to. The transport links from the residence are brilliant, with the local bus stop being only 3... more

We stayed at the Residence Michelangiolo for 4 days at the end of July, 2008. Everything about our stay was so relaxing and comfortable, even before we got there. We emailed the hotel ahead of time and Cherubino made reservations for us at Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia (We definitely recommend making the reservations and paying the little extra, otherwise... more
