Really lovely villa
What a lovely place to stay. Not too far to walk into the centre. The staff were so friendly and we really enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely go back.
Sarvario was AMAZING! He made us feel welcome and comfortable. If we needed anything to make our stay more comfortable, he got it for us.
He gave us all the information we needed to know about transportation and finding the best spots to eat.
This property was clean and smelled good. The gates were closed at certain times of the night so I guess that helps with security.
It’s uphill so if you’re walking, you’ll definitely get those quad muscles without even trying 😂.
It’s about 10-25mins of a walk from nice restaurants.
It is a 5-7minw walk to bus stops on either side.
Downside is:
- if you’re not driving, it’s a long walk from the gate to the building entrance.
- The ground all stones so if you’re wheeling a box, it’s even harder.
- Breakfast buffet was hella expensive.
- Mosquitoes are outside because it has natural vegetation (inside, they have a wallflower that smells great and repels mosquitoes), so you’ll be fine.
In all, I’d stay here again!

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, gave us good recommendations for restaurants and places to go. Breakfast was delicious! The hotel itself was average, not worth the price in our opinion. Our shower drain was clogged and water pooled in the corner of our bathroom. The walls are thin, we could hear other guests. It’s a beautiful property, but we probably wouldn’t stay again.
Beautiful villa- unfortunately rooms are poorly maintained. We tried showering and the water pressure was non- existent. The tub was poorly repaired. The room was overall staid. In addition, The hotel is not staffed 24 hours so if you need assistance there's no one there to help.
I would never go back.
Florence is a beautiful city, and because of that it can get quite a bit crowded with tourists. Hotel Villa Betania was a welcome respite at the end of each day to take a break from all the crowds and relax in a quieter neighborhood that still offered many great restaurants, gelaterias and things to do. We can't say enough about how wonderful the entire staff was, from the front desk that helped us with all our questions, reservations, taxi and tour needs, to the wonderful person that made our breakfast every morning (we miss our freshly baked croissants and cappuccinos so much!). Thank you Villa Betania, for making our stay feel so much like a second home!

Nice, historic villa. Good sized rooms, everything worked but the air conditioner, which is very weak and could only get the temp from 28 to 27 after running for hours _ in the end we took our chances w the mosquitos and opened the window. Do not book this place when it is hot outside. A suggestion - a cheap $20 fan woukd have been great to have i the room. Also, mosquito nets should be installed on the windows, again, inexpensive but very useful when the AC does not work. Other than the AC not working, making for terrible discomfort when it's hot - the place is amazing.
Everything about this Hotel was Great !.
Lovely Setting and 2 ways to walk into Town both providing a Great Walk with Great views of the City.
Only a 10 minute Bus ride from the River in Florence.
In my view much better than staying in the City Centre during the main season - May - October.
The Staff were really friendly and Helpful.
Breakfast Fresh and Fantastic !.

Hi! First and foremost the staff is excellent. Each staff member is personable, professional and helpful. They helped me to enjoy my stay and are the bees’ knees. Excellent! They are superstars!!!!
The breakfast has a nice mix of protein and carbohydrates, which is the perfect way to start the day.
The WIFI access is strong and consistent.
My room was lovely. It occupied two floors and was clean. I loved the open layout and loft style, whereby my room was on the top floor. The bathroom was spacious with a deep tub and waterfall shower. Amazing!
I have two major issues which relate to the structure and policy of the hotel. I was disappointed by the air conditioning; it was weak. The staff advised that it is central and can only be set by the computer. I asked that the air conditioning be increased and the computer system did not permit it. Nightly, I was uncomfortable with the temperature because the room was not refreshingly crisp; which is important after a hot day if touring and walking. At times the temperature was 26 degrees Celsius; which was uncomfortable. The room eventually cooled down but never to a refreshing temperature. Further the unit in my room made noise, which disturbed my sleep.
Further, the reception opens at 8 am. The consequence is that the hotel does not offer an early call service. As someone who has previously erroneously set her alarm to PM rather than AM, I was disappointed that I did not have access to this alarm back up service.
What a pleasant stay at Hotel Villa Betania! Great location, friendly and accommodating staff, clean and beautiful room, very well maintained grounds and building, wonderful breakfast, and just enough distance to be in the city but away from the over crowded tourist foot traffic of city center. I highly recommend staying here.
Is an old hotel well maintained. Nothing really fancy but is cute and clean.
Distance to the main attraction os a bit far but with a car is around 15-20’…
Very happy about pur stay. When you know what you look for and how much you pay for it normally you are satisfied
Nice location. You can catch the bus in front of the hotel or if you are up for a walk its a beautiful and cardio heavy 30 minute walk to the sights. Offers a nice Italian breakfast buffet.
No elevator! No elevator! And they told me it said it on their website but I printed it out and went back and looked and no where on it did I see where it said no elevator
