$$$$, Outside City Center
Fodor's Review:
You approach the tall and imposing villa, 15 minutes out of town, via a gravel drive lined with flowers. The public rooms are outfitted in Renaissance style, with a color scheme of deep green, gold, and crimson. Guest rooms have high ceilings, some with frescoes, plush carpeting, and deep bathtubs. A pool and beautiful views of the Arno are bonuses. The restaurant is superb and serves Tuscan classics as well as less-standard fare; a pianist quietly plays old standards while you eat. A shuttle bus runs every hour to and from the center of Florence. You have access to nearby tennis courts.
