Villa Le Maschere - Florence, Italy 

decent stay
Posted: Mon, Jun 05 2006
I stayed here recently with two friends while we were traveling through Italy. At first the hotel seems rather sketchy, since it is pretty tucked away and you have to go through a lobby and up an elevator to get there. The neighborhood is fine though and me and my two friends (all girls) walked around a lot at night. It was an alright stay. We had to share a bathroom and it ran out of toilet paper several times. The rooms were neat, but I wouldn't exactly say they were very clean. As far as hostels go it was fine, but it is definitely for budget travellers and students.

Basic and functional

Pasamos alli dos noches para visitar Florencia y la verdad es que al principio pensamos que nos ibamos a meter en un antro de mala muerte y luego resultó ser el hotel donde mejor nos han tratado en nuestro viaj por Italia. En especial nos llamó la atención el interés de Francesco por ayudarnos para desplazarnos por la ciudad, etc.. incluso ofrece su ordenador portátil a los clientes por si quieres mandar un email o lo que sea. La verdad que salimos muy contentos. Las habitciones son modestas, con mobiliario algo antiguo, pero cumplían su cometido. Además el aire acondicionado era gratis y tenía televisión. Durante el viaje estuvimos en hoteles hasta de 4 estrellas y este ha sido el único en el que tuvimos conexión wifi a internet gratis. Grazie francesco. Es muy complicado encontrar aparcamiento (porque el centro está restringido a residentes) y los parking cercanos cobran hasta 25€ la noche por dejarlo alli.

Great for the price...comfortable with airconditioning and free internet access (for 30mins). Has a fabulous roof top terrace with great city views. Staff are fantastic and allow you to take own food and drinks to have on the roof top terrace if you want to save some money and not eat out. Well worth staying for a good price.
