Description


Location. The Montebello Splendid Hotel in Florence, Italy is 600 meters from the Ponte Vecchio and the River Arno. Florence's major attractions, the Dumo, Santa Maria Novella, Michelangelo's David and the Uffizi Gallery are all less than one kilometer away on the other side of the Arno. Florence Airport is approximately nine kilometers from the hotel.

Hotel Features. In 2004, the Montebello Splendid Hotel opened in the Right Bank neighborhood. The restored 19th century villa surrounds a multi-level courtyard. The cream-colored marble lobby is accented with dark-wood, Oriental carpets and gilded chairs and couches. The multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk provides services that include complimentary newspapers, currency exchange and safe deposit boxes.

Complimentary Continental breakfasts are served each morning. Traditional Tuscan cuisine is served in Capriccio restaurant for buffet breakfasts, lunches and dinners. In warm weather, candlelight dining in the garden/courtyard dining is available. Il Portico Garden Bar serves a light food menu and beverages from late morning to late night. Terrace seating is available in warm weather. The fitness center has wooden floors and offers cardio machines, weight machines and free weights. Wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel.

Guestrooms. The Montebello Splendid Hotel's 61 guestrooms and suites are in buildings arranged around a multi-level garden courtyard. The rooms feature Renaissance-style damask walls of jewel-toned fabrics and antique-style furniture. Room amenities include in-room safes and minibars. The ensuite marble bathrooms offer jetted-tub/shower combinations, stall showers without tubs featuring multiple massage showerheads, or shower/tub combinations without jets, bathrobes and slippers. The all white bedding includes comforters with polished-cotton covers. High- speed Internet access is available for a fee.

Expert Tip. The Battistero di San Giovanni (Baptistery of St John), less than two kilometers from the hotel, is believed to be the oldest building in Florence. It is particularly famed for its three sets of magnificent and artistically important bronze doors and magnificent mosaic ceiling over the baptisty. The earliest mosaics, works of art of many unknown Venetian craftsmen, date from 1225 and depict a variety of Biblical stories.

Splendid hotel

Hotel staff were polite, friendly and very helpful. The room was beautiful and well maintained during our stay. It was not exactly central to the city but was only a 10 minute walk from the centre of Florence, but the comfort of the hotel was worth the extra walking and peacefulness of the area. Turn left when leaving the hotel and the River Arno was 2 minutes away which provided an interesting a scenic stroll into the city. We saw Nutria at about 6pm swimming in the river!

Beautiful Hotel

There's a really good Chinese place (trust me, you will get tired of pizza & pasta!) near the hotel on Il Prato heading towards the Uffizi. I can't remember what it's called but it has 2 red lanterns outside. Decent price for the quality of food.

Great location

There's so much to see in Florence you need to plan your days and it's definitely worth pre-booking the major galleries. Worth noting that churches and cathederals are open on Mondays when most sights are closed. They don't have the long queues either.

Not impressed

Had asked "NON SMOKING ROOM"....and although had some free rooms, provided me at first one smoking room ( and smelling strongly). Extremely slow service at dinner, when arriving and having "Welcome menu". Not so close to center as it is written in advertisements.

Recommend The Trip Per Tre, Guitar/rock pub especially if you like Guiness. Also the Han Lo Chinese restaurant just opposite, excellent.

Elegant hotel with great service

We flew from Heathrow to Milan and then to Florence which is why they lost our luggage. My Italian cousin recommends flying to Pisa and taking the train to Florence as it is a great service.

nice hotel

lovely 5*hotel,beautiful surroundings and comfortable rooms. Food- breakfast varied and plentiful and of good quality. Evening meals good but very expensive, worth paying for a taxi to go into the centre to eat and a livelier environment. Hotel in the suberbs and 20mins walk from old town along the river. Staff polite but not over friendly. One complaint that despite other english guest in the hotel no english papers available.

Fabulous

Taking walking boots to see the sites in Florence. Don't wear shorts or sleeveless tops in the churches as the frown on it!
