Villa Azalee is within walking distance of the convention center in Florence, also the train station, SMN church, dome and main shopping and monument areas. There's a bus stop at the corner in case you don't enjoy walking.Safe enough at night. Charming garden. Beautiful breakfast room and china (maybe a bit too cute), warm, helpful personnel. Rooms are small, however: my friend and I shared a double, and it was tricky to accomodate our bagagge, clothes, conference materials, laptop, purchases- few, actually- and the many decorative items in the room, it was cluttered. What did we miss most: wi fi. In summary, very nice place where to stay, suitable for people without chidren, for short stays.

Cet hôtel a beaucoup de charme et vaut le détour. Chambre spacieuse et propre. Excellent petit déjeuner. 10 minutes à pied du centre historique de Florence. Excellent rapport qualité / prix, le prix était même très inférieur aux prestations offertes comparé à d'autres hôtels où nous avons séjournée en Toscane.

We had six very pleasant nights here. The Villa may look ancient or even shabby outside but it is definitely not so in the inside. The room is spacious with a well-equipped bathroom and a large storage area for luggage. It is clean and quite (thanks to double glazing). BTW, it has CNN which kept us updated about the tragic earthquake in L'Aquila as we don’t understand Italian. Breakfast is served in a cute room down the basement and it was much more than just a cappuccino and a croissant as you would get somewhere else. The hotel staff speaks great English and was very helpful. The lady at the reception desk was so kind to help me resolve a credit card issue with another store by trying to explain to them the story in Italian and figure out a solution for us. As to the location, the Villa may appear far from the city center on a map, but Florence is not a big city as Rome and it takes a maximum of 10-minute walk to St. Maria Novella or 15 minutes to St.Lorenzo. For what it’s worth, there is a supermarket called META nearby where you can get water and food supply. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and will definitely come back if we go to Florence again.

So far more than 300 metres at you told me and hard to find I had to ask many people "how to go there?" This hotel don't have elevator,I stayed on th 3rd floor so heavy for me to bring my baggage up and down. Breakfast room so small but good Breakfast. Staff in this hotel so nice.
