A Home in Fiesole
The villa is the best place to stay when visiting Fiesole. It has a home feel to it. Free items in mini bar, free breakfast, easy transportation to Florence. This place is amazing.

Do not expect a usable pool
Faded is probably the best way to describe this hotel. It was fine as a base but not for spending any time in. The pool (in mid July) was not clean and clearly rarely used (covered in a film of dead flies and hugely over-chlorinated). The photographer for the website is a genius - the hotel does not look like this. It is clean and basic but that is all. There is nowhere to have drinks overlooking the view, breakfast is served inside (despite there being a terrace) and is again basic but passable. The staff are fine but there is no service culture. Taken for what it is it is fine, expect a nice hotel and you will be disappointed. Luckily as we were there for a wedding the hotel was not the point - luckily.

Charming with a consumable welcome package!
I had to book this room at the last minute and was delighted with the location of the Hotel Villa Aurora! It is steps away from the bus stop, as well as conveniently located on the Piazza Mino - the center of Fiesole. The Villa is charming with many artifacts to view, but beware of the stairs if you have heavy luggage! The room, which again was a last minute decision, was clean and had a welcome package in the mini frig! The bed was a bit hard and the shower stall was small. Had to rush out for an appointment before I had a chance to enjoy breakfast. The staff was cordial and allowed me to store my luggage there during my hectic schedule.

Hotel in central Fiesole,
iii Although convenient for transport into Florence, Number 7 bus does not now go into central Florence but instead to the San Marcos area from where you have to walk (about 10 minutes). Hotel very nice and would stay there again for as long as I can manage the stairs (no lift). Room spacious and very clean. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Reception good, but higher standard of spoken English would be appreciated (typical lazy English comment probably).

Beautiful location, fine staff
The hotel is on the crest of the hill at Fiesole, overlooking Florence. It's a beautiful location and the dining room and breakfast room take full advantage of the view. Our room was clean and comfortable, the food good. The staff was helpful with the usual (transportation, local guidance) but outstanding on a small dispute with a local business. They made two calls and got us reimbursement from the local business. All done with ease and friendliness. This is a grand old hotel, probably from the 19th c, and there is an atmosphere of faded elegance

Interesting old villa in hills overlooking Florenc
The hotels is in Fiesole which is a village in the hills overlooking Florence thus providing a quiet retreat from the crowds of Florence. The local bus stops right outside the hotel and is only a 10 minute ride into the city centre. The hotel is in an interesting historic villa which must have been magnificent in its heyday. No, sadly it is a bit run down and doesn't warrant its 4 star rating. The breakfast room and terrace is fine and we had a very nice dinner one night overlooking the city. The problems began in our room. We had asked for single beds and the mattresses were so uncomfortable that we slept very badly on both nights. Rock hard and lumpy. The lighting was very dim and the shower a bit grubby. On our first night the restaurant had been taken over for a wedding which was so noisy we closed the window and switched on the air-conditioning. It blew out air but did not cool! The hotel advertises a swimming pool but it is a temporary above ground pool which had collapsed!!

Proximity and Access to Florence
The staff was very helpful and the hotel very pleasant. Fiesole offers many very good restaurants as well. The town is on a regular bus route so access into Florence is quick. This will be my choice when we return.

Good location but very tired
Great place to stay for visits to Florence but the interior of the room we had was very run down. The pool was covered by a tarpaulin and didn't look to have been in service for quite some time. The Blu Bar (attached to the hotel) not sure if under the same managment but the food there was dire.

A fabulous Wedding
We stayed at the hotel as a result of attending a wedding over five days....the food was spectacular...we upgraded our room with a balcony and view over florence. The staff were brilliant, the location ideal the only grey area was the hotel bar next door....very expensive compared to the other bars in the square. We shall go back for longer next time.

Dove sono le 4 stelle?
Siamo letteralmente scappati da questo albergo, dopo aver pagato "a vuoto" la prima notte. La struttura è vecchia e fatiscente, assolutamente diversa dalle immagini riportate sul sito. La stanza piccola, con un arredo veramente squallido, con una finestra che affacciava proprio sull'angolo della sola strada di gran scorrimento, con conseguenze rumore. E mi era stato assicurato un soggiorno tranquillo e silenzioso! Il bagno poco pulito e con un forte odore di muffa e di stantìo. Il giardino circostante incolto e disordinato. L'accesso alle stanze solo tramite due scaloni sporchi e certo non accoglienti. Niente ascensore. La proprietaria sgarbata e affatto professionale. Non raccomanderei mai questa struttura (a 4 stelle!!) ad un prezzo che non si può certo dire conveniente.
