Villa La Stella

What guests think

At Villa La Stella, travellers praise the peaceful hillside setting with scenic views, friendly and helpful staff, and free parking, while noting the out‑of‑center location and generally basic, dated rooms with thin walls and occasional maintenance issues.

Bus 7 offers a straightforward ride into Florence, though arriving at night or without a car can feel inconvenient and dining options nearby are limited. Breakfast is usually good to varied, but some find it modest and the dining room a bit dark or canteen-like. Overall, expect a simple, quiet base with kind service on Florence’s hills.

It goes above and beyond for the expectations for a 2 star hotel. Also it has free parking , which in Florence is great. Breakfast was good and varied. The area is beautiful, calm and silent, we really slept well and our room was warm in a cold winter night. It’s basic but what do you expect from a 2 star place? It has some common area in the outside, which is ok for summer. But it need means of transport for Florence, so if you go out at night you’ll have to take a taxi (20 euros). This place is best enjoyed if you have a car and you are not planning on drinking out.

This is a great stay on the outside of Florence. Transportation into the city is convenient as there is a bus that takes you into the centre of Florence for €1.70/person. Food variety at breakfast was good and the hotel parking is convenient if you’re travelling by car. Overall had a very comfortable and welcoming stay, and would highly recommend to travellers who want to stay in a quiet area of Florence.

Alte, rustikale und romantische Villa mit Parkplatz auf dem Gelände. Kleine Zimmer mit guten Betten. Bushaltestelle nur ca. 200m entfernt. Der Bus fährt bis zum Bahnhof Florenz - sehr gute Anbindung auch zum Flughafen. Die Villa liegt traumhaft ruhig oberhalb von Florenz und wer die Ruhe nach einem turbulenten Tag in Florenz schätzt ist hier genau richtig. Gutes Frühstück mit viel Auswahl. Für uns war die Villa la Stella perfekt um Florenz zu erkunden. Kleiner Tip - mit dem Bus Nr 7 der zur Villa fährt, einfach weiter fahren nach Fiesole - kleines Dorf mit herrlicher Aussicht auf Florenz

Udemærket stille hotel i udkanten af Firenze. Beliggenheden er god i forhold til byens travlhed og jag. Lidt langt afstand at gå til bymidten ,men det kan lade sig gøre, hvis man er vant til at gå meget. Udemærket morgenmad med nogenlunde udvalg uden at være prangende. Dejligt rent over alt, men et lidt slidt hotel.

Struttra molto grande, con parcheggio e a pochi minuti d'auto dal centro di Firenze. Il personale è gentile; colazione internazionale, puoi trovare dolce, salato e distributori di bevande calde e succhi di frutta. Il bagno è abbastanza grande, il letto e i cuscini comodi e le stanze sono poco insonorizzate. Unica grande pecca: nella nostra stanza non erano presenti le zanzariere e dato il caldo dello scorso weekend non abbiamo potuto non tenere la finestra aperta; abbiamo passato la notte a dar la caccia alle zanzare... guardando dalla finestra le altre stanze le avevano, quindi magari erano solo alcune quelle con questo "problema". Nel complesso è stato un buon soggiorno.

Jeg likte tanken om å bo på et 'Villa'. Beliggenheten er typisk for Toscana, med høye trær rundt, oliventre i hagen og lyden av insekter. Bussholdeplass (buss nr. 7) rette utenfor hotellet. Rommet (rom 103) minnet meg litt om å bo på et gamlehjem. Toalettet og dusjen var som det var lagt for eldre eller hjelpetrengende personer, ellers rent og fint. Fantastikk front disk personal. Du få en 5 stjerners service. Vennlig og hjelpsom personal.

Wenn Sie mit dem Bus 7 bis zur Endstation Fiesola fahren, können Sie dort auch ein Archiologisches Museum, etc besuchen.. auch sehr interessant..

As the prices are very high in Florence these rates for a night are reasonable. But the standard is poor. Rusty parts in the bathroom. You can hear any noise of your neighbours (from sex-life to snoring). Breakfast is good but the breakfastroom reminds to an waitinghall at the trainstation. At Check-out no WiFi connection so nobody could pay their stay by card, only cash possible. Perfect bus-stop in max 100m (line 7 to Florence Station and Fiesole)

I wasn’t interested in staying in the busy city. This hotel Was perfect for my needs. It’s a brief stroll to the No 7 bus which basically stops everywhere you’ll want in the city. In a pinch it’s walkable within 50 mins if you are in shape. The place is spotless and quiet. Situated in the hills. You can do a 7km hike up the mountain to a small village for amazing pizza and views. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Loved the hard boiled eggs and toast. The coffee machine makes everything you can imagine. They sell tickets for the bus at the front and even refunded me for unused tickets I turned in at the end of my trip. One warning: this place like every other place I’ve found in Italy doesn’t actually have laundry facilities onsite. You have to give your laundry to them for service.
