Fodor's Review:
Bellosguardo means "beautiful view"; given the view of Florence you get here, the name is fitting. The hotel, perched atop a hill minutes from the viale, is reached via a narrow road dotted with olive trees. Dante's friend Guido Calvacanti supposedly chose this serene spot for his country villa, but little remains from the early 14th century. The reception area, a former ballroom, has soaring ceilings with frescoes by Francavilla (1553-1615). Guest rooms, all with high ceilings, are simple and have heavy wooden furniture. Pros: Great for escaping heat of the city in summer. Cons: A car is a necessity.
