Michelin Guide "Luxury is evident... A truly idyllic place to stay!"
Concierge "Staying here is probably as close as you'll get to the cultured expatriates-in-Florence spirit of a Henry James novel."
Fodor's "Staff, called "ambassadors," are always available while remaining invisible when you want them to be." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A palatial 15th-century villa has been converted into a superb hotel offering a 21st-century perspective on its aristocratic past."

Rough Guide "Since opening in 2008, this modern hostel has won awards for its service and excellent facilities."
Frommer's "If a gated courtyard right in the center appears rather a grand address for a hostel, that is because this is no ordinary student traveler dive." Full review
Let's Go "Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies." Full review
OysterBudget

The Telegraph8.0
"Wedged between Florence’s two most iconic monuments – David and the Duomo – the Academy Hostel’s location could hardly be better." Full review
