Fodor's Expert Review Torre di Bellosguardo
Via Roti Michelozzi 2, Florence, Tuscany, 50124, Italy Fodor's Choice
Bellosguardo (meaning "beautiful view") is perched atop a hill minutes from the viale, and reached via a narrow road dotted with olive trees. The reception area has soaring ceilings with frescoes by Francavilla (1553–1615). Guest rooms are simple and pleasing. Proprietor Signor Franchetti keeps a small menagerie on the grounds (including donkeys, rabbits, and chickens), and maintains a beautiful, peaceful garden, to which guests have access.
PROS
- great for escaping heat of the city in summer
- a villa experience with the city just minutes away
- some rooms can accommodate three and four people
CONS
- a car is a necessity
- breakfast is not included during high season
