About
Ville Sull'Arno - Preferred Hotels & Resorts
Ville Sull'Arno sits directly on the Arno riverbank, a 6-minute walk from the Tabernacolo del Madonnone Shrine. The 5-star boutique hotel pairs contemporary rooms with a long list of wellness facilities: an indoor pool, a seasonal outdoor pool, a spa with sauna, Turkish bath and steam room, plus a fitness centre. Bicycle rental makes it easy to explore Florence along the river.
Dining is a clear highlight — guests rate it 9 out of 10 — with an on-site restaurant, snack bar, bar/lounge, and in-room breakfast. The hotel also covers practical needs with 24-hour reception, valet parking, an EV charging station, and a paid airport shuttle.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Location score is relatively modest — Guests rate it 7/10 — still good, but lower than dining and service. The hotel is on the river, not in the historic centre's busiest core.
- Price per night is low for a 5-star — From just £6 per night — far below typical luxury rates. This may reflect a more basic room or off-season pricing, but at this level, expectations could be adjusted.
- Check-in window is set — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59 — if you arrive outside these hours, you'll need to plan accordingly (though reception is 24-hour).
- No major landmarks within walking distance — The only nearby point of interest listed is the Tabernacolo del Madonnone Shrine, a 6-minute walk. Further attractions require a longer walk or transport.
