Frommer's "With its echoey halls, airy loggias, and imposing stone staircases, the Bellosguardo feels just a few flickering torches shy of the Middle Ages -- exactly its attraction." Full review
Fodor's "Bellosguardo means "beautiful view"; given the view of Florence you get here, the name is fitting." Full review

DK Eyewitness "Far from the crowds, but with the city at its feet, the views from the 16th-century tower of this 14th-century villa are unparalleled."
Rough Guide "Its not central - its perched on a hill about 2km from the heart of Oltrarno - but the four-star Bellosguardo is one of the most beautiful hotels in the city."
