The pool was nice to have as a way to cool off after busy and hot days. It was easy to walk to Fiesole via a trail behind the hotel. The views from that trail are really beautiful. The room was a good size and the housekeeping staff did an excellent job. The breakfast buffet was huge and included a big variety of breakfast options. The staff was friendly and attentive.

This hotel is located on the one very busy street that climbs up to Fiesole from downtown Florence. So, there was constant car noise. There are a bunch of places to sit outside and a nice terrace where meals are served, but the car noise made it a not very pleasant spot to hang out. It was surprisingly quieter on the smaller streets of Fiesole than in this spot outside of town. We had one dinner at the hotel that was not very impressive for the price.

Excellent, professional staff. We arrived late on a Saturday. We asked the concierge about a recommendation for a casual meal and he recommended a wonderful pizzeria not too far away. Because it was late and kitchens at restaurants would soon close, he phoned ahead for us. Wonderful pizzeria with fine service; just what we were looking for. All other staff were equally professional, and the breakfast was excellent. (I seem to recall a comment or two from a reviewer some years ago that the breakfasts lacked variety. Not at all our experience. The breakfasts were excellent with huge variety. You can even have it “al fresco” and enjoy the view over Florence). In short, wonderful stay in a comfortable room (great bed) with exceptional staff.

A stunning property with beautiful views of Florence! The staff were very friendly and so helpful. The buffet breakfast was included and was excellent! The dinners on the terrace were so good, with beautiful views. Wonderful service there too! The bed was very comfortable, and beautiful view from our room window too. Not far to Fiesole , which was lovely town! It’s about 1 km away, we walked one afternoon - uphill and have to take care to stay to side as no sidewalks until closer to town, but can easily take a bus or taxi. An easy bus ride or taxi into Florence too! The pool was a welcome amenity to use after a long day in town. Would definitely come back to this gorgeous property!

The villa/hotel is very well placed, 10-15 minutes by car from Florence city center. We did not take the bus, but the bus station is basically a few meters from the villa if you don’t have a car. It has a huge terrace with several lounge sets which is great if you want to drink coffee in piece or heave a toddler (like we had) who can play around carelessly. The restaurant has also a big terrace with a great view at Florence. We found FH55 Hotel Villa Fiesole to be a great destination nearby Florence from which you can experience the city centre every day but also have a possibility to retreat from the hustle of the city.

The hotel is near the road, therefore the cars and/or motorcycles that pass by can be very loud occasionally.

The hotel overall was very good. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel was extremely clean and an overall great standard. The position of the hotel had great views over looking Florence. The road leading up to the hotel has public transport if you do not opt to drive or get there by taxi. The breakfast selection was very good, and the evening meal was exceptional. The bar was open to use, we did not use it during our stay as we made alternative plans.

The hotel room could have supplied actual coffee cups rather than disposable cups, this let the room and standard of the hotel down. Also the road next to the hotel can get busy, so noise from traffic cannot be helped but is a shame, this wouldn't stop us from staying here again.

Extremely nice and friendly staff.

The road leading to and from hotel has nowhere for pedestrians to walk

The hotel is beautifully situated overlooking countryside towards Florence. Staff very helpful and friendly. This was particularly so as my wife was unwell during our stay. Upgraded to a deluxe room on arrival. Lovely room.

Nothing…..everything was perfect. Have stayed before and will again.

This was our favourite stay on our recent trip to Florence. It was like home from home. The view of Florence in the distance was lovely and we had this view from our rooms. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room was lovely. It was very clean and modern/traditional with a homely feel. The staff were fantastic.

There wasn't much not to like. It is I guess low season so the bar/restaurant area was not made up and prepared for guests. We ordered a bottle of champagne and it would have been nice to have some nibbles or someone to come and top up our champagne, but it didn't appear to been prepared for us sitting there. But this is a very minimal issue in such a lovely stay.

The location is brilliant and the view over Florence was spectacular. Our room was very comfortable and the view from our bedroom was a huge bonus. The staff were very helpful and attentive. We were introduced to the General Manager and were offered a free complimentary drink. The breakfasts were excellent which included various options. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to extend our stay with a further 2 nights. We will definitely be back soon.

Everything was fine

The staff were so friendly, great location, beautiful rooms and view.

The pool didn’t look quite the same as the photos but not too much different. The restaurant a bit pricey for small portions but that’s just personal preference.
