Needless to say, no one has to this day discovered such riches. From a Guest letter: ....we shall make a point of specifying that the Villa Azalee hotel, its fascination notwithstanding, features absolutely accessible rates. Its prices should cleary be higher for its seventeen rooms, situated in the ancient villa, with their high ceilings, beds with wrought-iron or precious woodenheadboards decorated with eighteenth century engravings; many of the rooms face the internal garden, isolating them from any noise, and rendering them fresher and more appreciable. The shutters on the windows creak a little, and the banister along the wide staircase totters a wee bit; however, herein lies its fascination charm, for we don't feel that we are staying at a hotel, but in an old distinguished house. And, indeede, it is so. We need only mention that every evening in the salon, tea is served accompained by little home-made biscuits, and that bicycle is made available to every guest during the day to reach the city's historic centre in less than three minutes.

The ALBERGOTTO is situated in the heart of Florence, on the via de' Tornabuoni, at the corner of via della Vigna Nuova. Its windows overlook these two elegant streets, as well as the marvellous Palazzo Strozzi. During the 19th century tourists both Italian and foreign began to flock in great numbers to Florence, attracted by the beauty of its art, by its pleasant climate and by the green hills that surround it. Via Tornabuoni was Florence's drawing-room, indeed the drawing-room of Europe. Many of the aristocratic palazzos that line the street were converted into hotels, cafès and tea rooms for the benefit of the visitors. The ALBERGOTTO continues the tradition of the 'casa albergo', dating from the days when it was appreciated and frequented by famous visitors such as Verdi, Donizzetti, Gounaud and George Eliot (to whom there is a plaque on the façade). For a time the palazzo reverted to being a private residence, but after the Second War (when the Martelli family went to live in their country house) it re-opened as a hotel. Recently the ALBERGOTTO has been carefully restructured and restored by the Martelli family. Guests will find rooms equipped with every modern comfort, elegantly furnished with antique furniture (including family heirlooms), each one different from all the others, quiet and with delightful views.

The first historical news of the 'Villa di Bellariva' dates back to the 1400s, when the family of Dante Alighieri gave it to a group of painters who, guided by Giuliano di Jacopo, turned it into an art workshop. The villa is located on the right bank of the Arno river, along the old path where the Florentines used to go for a relaxing stroll in the country. Towards the end of the 19th century it was rented by the Tommasis, a family of painters from Leghorn, who turned the villa into a center for art studies. Here the main Italian Impressionists and Post-Impressionists could find a place to get together and exchange ideas in a friendly environment. Among others, Giuseppe Abbate, Silvestro Lega, and Tommaso Signorini stayed there, finding the inspiration for their work in that peaceful place. Over the years, the wish to combine the old structure with the requirements of a modern and comfortable hotel brought about some relevant architectural changes; Now the Hotel Ville sull'Arno consists of small buildings that harmonically merge with the original mansion from the 1400s.

The Carlton restaurant at the hotel serves a la carte and other Tuscan specialities. Expert staff are available to guarantee the success of every event. **LOBBY, BAR & RESTAURANT ARE BEING RENOVATED**.

La Fornella was originally built as a living quarters for the farming monks of the Vallombrosa monastery. The Vallombrosa order was founded by Saint Giovanni Gualbeto Visdomini in 1038 who aimed to convince other aristocrats to also give up their riches and adopt a simpler life of greater virtue. Contrary to these origins the order grew both rich and powerful during the 16th and 17th centuries when the famous central abbey was built. La Fornella would have been built during the early middle ages, with the addition of its two central towers to mirror those of the fortress-like abbey during the Renaissance. La Fornella is surrounded by 25 acres of land, cultivated with olive groves and a small, San Giovese vineyard. These were once tended by the monks of the region. The monks' living quarters have been restored into 3 apartments which may be rented on a weekly basis. The region of Eastern Tuscany is appealing to those in search of art, architecture and culture, but also those who would like to relax in natural surroundings. The nearby abbey buildings at Vallombrosa are surrounded by such beautiful woodland that John Milton described them in his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667). The forest is the largest beech wood forest in Europe and there are numerous marked paths and picnic areas, in particular amongst the glorious old forests in the vicinity of the monastery at Vallombrosa. The hotel has a gorgeous swimming pool where you can enjoy the time.
