Overview:
The Grand Hotel Villa Medici is possibly the most relaxing hotel in Firenze, for two simple reasons: It?s slightly out of the way location and its swimming pool. Firenze is lovely, but in the summer, with tourists jamming the streets and aggressively hot temperatures, you may easily reach your limit of cathedrals and Botticellis. And if this is indeed the case, the Grand Hotel Villa Medici is the perfect place - at least in the city centre - to retire.
Though this former palazzo is decorated in eighteenth century fashion, it is without that blinding baroque heavy handedness so often associated with that period. The gold brocade on the walls lends an unexpected light and summery feel. Most of the rooms have terraces and glorious views - just stay away from the rooms at the back, which offer up the cheerless prospect of a convent under renovation.
Also, in a city where hotel gyms are few and far between, there's a fitness centre where you can whittle away those few pounds you got from indulging in the local pasta. Though you can work them off on the half a dozen or so exercise machines, we prefer sweating them off in the sauna. Carrot-chewing health freaks take note. You can book yourself into a non-smoking bedroom, which, in Firenze, is the only thing harder to find than a gym.
And of course, there's the pool - the only sizeable, outdoor hotel pool in Firenze, surrounded by a small, but lovely garden. Lunch at the poolside is a truly soothing experience, and they have a piano player (a touch chintzy, true, but enjoyable all the same) here for cocktail hour.
