Michelin Guide "Simple yet elegant... It has a magical, fairy tale atmosphere."
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
Travel + Leisure "Situated atop the hill of Bellosguardo, this distinctive hotel is housed in a Renaissance-era villa built around a 14th-century tower." 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."

"This former convent turned boutique hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the city's main attractions. ... Most guest rooms have a disappointingly stark appearance." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A 16th-century convent is now this superb hotel. The large rooms, some of which are on two levels, are all decorated differently."
Star Service "In a relatively quiet residential neighborhood, around the corner from the superior Monna Lisa, with its elegant and whimsical interiors, this property moves in a more contemporaneous direction." Full review

The off-track location provides guests with glimpses of day-to-day Florentine life that many tourists never see, but make sure to pack mosquito repellent.
Rough Guide "Some rooms are vast split-level affairs, but all have charm and are furnished with modern fittings and a few antiques."
Fodor's "On a quiet street within walking distance of the sights sits this unusual hotel, a converted 16th-century convent." Full review
Jetsetter "An inviting room in a former 16th-century convent, walking distance from Florence's stunning cathedral." Full review
