Set in an elegant 18th-century building, Villa Royal features a garden, car park, and swimming pool less than 1 km from Florence cathedral. This splendid Florentine villa was built in 1700. It was a noble family residence up until 1956 when it was converted into a hotel. It is set in a green neighbourhood of Florence, next to the Fortezza da Basso exhibition centre and its park. Each guest room at Villa Royal is air conditioned. The rooms and common areas are all tastefully decorated with period furnishings. This hotel guarantees a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and an attentive service. The swimming pool is great for a refreshing dip after a day sightseeing around Florence. The car park and swimming pool are both available at an additional cost. Both Palazzo dei Congressi conference centre and Santa Maria Novella Train Station are 1 km away.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.
