Villa Olmi Firenze

“Best place I have stayed in our travels”

One of the most amazing places. I loved it. We stayed for 5 nights after 15 days of traveling all 2 nights each place. It was a great place to unwind.

One of the most amazing places. I loved it. We stayed for 5 nights after 15 days of traveling all 2 nights each place. It was a great place to unwind. Close enough to go back into Florence center but away from the crowds. The grounds are beautiful. It was like living in a museum with the amazing collections and antiques everywhere. The staff were so lovely. It was so nice to unwind with our bottle of wine in one of the spots on the garden after a day out and about. Easy access to highway to get to Pisa or San Gimignano to drive. I 100% recommend this.

“Beautiful ! A truly luxurious. elegant, old-world hotel that delivers your money’s worth.”

Tusacny !! The fabulous land of wines and rolling hills spread under sparkling blue skies and tall, slender cypress trees, peppered with small, ancient and historic villages that still live the old lifestyles. And in this bucolic landscape lies the metropolitan city of Florence – Firenze – which is also the most populated city and capital of the region. Dating back to before the Roman times – 59 BC - the city has been the center of medieval European trade and is considered to have been the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. It is teeming with historical architecture, art and eons of history, now interspersed with modern development that makes this city a cultural and industrial center – and a huge tourism magnet. Of the many hospitality institutions in the city, one of the most elegant is the Villa Olmi. Even online, it stands out from the competition. Located around 10 to 15 minutes from the city center, it is easy to reach by taxi or the hotel shuttle. With its beautifully landscaped and maintained gardens, the property feels like being in the countryside with beautiful surroundings and acres where one can escape the crowds, yet is within this teeming city. Just so convenient and special. We were traveling with friends from Israel and booked two rooms. The hotel is stunning: the decor, the rooms, the common spaces and restaurants - all of it was magazine-cover beautiful and well maintained. The rooms we could afford were fairly spacious and the baths were beautifully finished with marble tops, tiled surfaces and wood accents – spotlessly clean and with all the necessary amenities. The service was amazing, and all the hotel employees are very professional. Great way to run a hospitality establishment - Thank you ! An absolutely incredible, though short stay – wish we had more time on this vacation.

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had at Villa Olmi, specifically because of the amazing staff. To say Alessandro Natali went above and beyond would be an understatement. His professionalism, kindness and help with our stay and daily trip plans made all the difference, and made it become the experience it was. While the hotel building itself is nice, staff members like Alessandro Natali make it special and a place to want to return to.

“Villa Olmi has the best staff anywhere”

As a travel agent, I am always asked for recommendations for my clients trips. Villa Olmi is the place in Florence I always insist upon. It’s not only that the hotel is beautiful, it’s because of the people who work there. They turn a normal hotel experience into a stay at a home away from home. Alessandro Natali, who is the head concierge, goes out of his way to be kind and helpful… he is a consummate professional who deeply cares about his guest’s happiness and well being. He is always with a smile, a kind reassurance, and abundant knowledge. He represents Villa Olmi with pride and love, and makes Villa Olmi a place to want to return to often. Laura, at the front desk, is also such delightful person to deal with. Her warm smile and kind way welcome guests with a genuine sincerity. She, too, has a wealth of knowledge and true desire to help. The restaurant also has warm and wonderful staff, especially Alessandro and Simona. We do very much miss the amazing food of Chef Francesco Lorenzini, who unfortunately is no longer there. So yes, Villa Olmi has a beautiful traditional hotel and grounds, but it is the people that work there who make it extra special. If you want to experience true Italian hospitality, do not hesitate to choose Villa Olmi!!
