Residenza le Colline del Paradiso

Clean and new

Uncomfortable pillows, too much lights from various electronics in the room. Could not sleep properly. No room amenities.

Tolle Ausstattung, sehr zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter, schöne Lage abseits der Haupttouristenpfade

We only had one night at Le Colline del Paradiso but it left a real impression. It's tucked away in the Mugello hills about twenty minutes from Florence, and the moment you arrive you feel a million miles from the city. The room was lovely, beautifully renovated with proper attention to detail, really comfortable bed, lovely bathroom. The whole place has that balance of old Tuscan character with modern comfort. The on-site restaurant La Fornace de' Medici was excellent too, saved us the trouble of going anywhere and honestly we wouldn't have wanted to. We visited when it was still cold so the pool and gardens weren't in full swing, but waking up to see a light dusting of snow on the mountains across the valley was genuinely one of those pinch-yourself moments. Stood at the window with a coffee just staring. It must be incredible in summer but there's something really special about this place in the quiet season too. The staff were lovely, really warm and attentive without being overbearing. One night was nowhere near enough.

I wish we could have ordered a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon but perhaps that's offered in high season.
