This charming hotel enjoys an outstanding central position in Florence, surrounded by a large park. The Ponte Vecchio can be reached in 15 minutes with the hotel shuttle bus, and the hotel is only 500 m from the Florence-Certosa exit from the Autostrade del Sole Motorway, Italy's north-south axis. The nearest public transport stop is directly in front of the hotel.

For many years, the attractive hotel served as a guest house for the adjacent 14th-century monks' convent, the Certosa di Galluzzo, and later it was a patrician's villa. It comprises a total of 70 rooms set over three floors, and features an impressive foyer with 24-hour reception, a cosy bar, and an inviting restaurant serving delicious cuisine.

The modern and tastefully fitted rooms come with an en suite bathroom with hairdryer, a direct dial telephone, a minibar/ fridge, and a hire safe.

A swimming pool and several tennis courts can be found in the attractive outdoor complex.
