Hotel Mulino di Firenze, WorldHotels Crafted in Florence

Overall, this hotel is very clean and elegant, with beautifully appointed rooms. The staff are five-star quality.

Unfortunately, the air conditioner in my room didn't work that day. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. They immediately relocated me to another hotel in their group and provided taxi fares. The breakfast was also very generous.

A worthwhile stay.

It would have been much better if the hotel had offered more amenities and activities.

A former mill renovated with taste and class.
The reception staff are very professional and friendly, and the rooms, all interiors, and outdoor spaces are very clean. The terrace overlooks the Arno, and dining while admiring the beautiful sunsets over the water is magical.
A few drawbacks, however:
- The TGV train passes nearby, and the many cars passing by can be disturbing during meals on the terrace.
- The formerly beautiful swimming pool directly outside the hotel has been transformed into a beautiful ornamental pond. A new pool, too small for the number of guests, was dug at the very end of the grounds and lacks the appropriate charm for the majestic building.
- The portions during meals are truly meager compared to the price.
- The only place where guests can gather outside in the evening is the bar terrace, which is located in the inner courtyard, around which there are also rooms accessible from the outside. The noise of chatter, laughter, etc. is really more than disturbing for sleeping. You should plan another, more isolated place on the beautiful grounds.

Exelent Room and Breakfast buffet offered even not free. Exelent sunsetting and riverview.

The advantages and disadvantages of the living experience are discussed below:
1. The hotel is far from the hustle and bustle and is relatively quiet, which means that it is more troublesome to go to the city center. There will be 3 shuttle buses in the morning and 3 in the afternoon to the city entrance. Of course, there will be 3 return trips in the afternoon (the hotel charges €2.50/trip).
The sound insulation of the room is poor, and sometimes it is even a bit noisy.
The location of this hotel is a bit remote. If you take a taxi to the city, it is basically €23-€35 [I have taken prices in this range. The train station (Santa Maria Novella Station) to the hotel is €32-€35, and the city to the hotel is in the €23-€32 range]

2. The hotel has a snack bar/bar (Snack Bar) with very high hamburger prices. I didn’t eat all day because I was in a hurry to catch the train on the day I arrived. I ordered a hamburger for €20/piece and tiramisu for €10/portion. The speed of serving the food was really super slow. The main restaurant and breakfast are at the same dining place-the dinner menu is relatively small and the price is relatively expensive. It is not recommended. I was traveling alone, so I had dinner at the hotel for several meals (I was afraid that it would be unsafe to stay out too late).

3. The front desk service was generally good. All questions were answered.

4. There is no swimming pool on the cover of the hotel (it has been demolished for a long time). I was attracted to the swimming pool and chose this hotel. However, there is now a waterfall in the open courtyard for viewing.

5. If you don’t drive yourself, I don’t recommend you to stay at this hotel because the transportation is inconvenient and you basically can’t avoid the need to take a taxi unless your daily itinerary is completely based on the shuttle bus pick-up time. Of course, if you don’t care about that little money, please feel free to do so~

Helpful staff, beautiful and high quality vintage hotel.
Great view also

The hotel environment is particularly suitable for vacation, the scenery is great👍! The service is great👍!
The only small flaw is that the mattress is not the most comfortable (compared to other StarWorld hotels)

There is free parking, which is very friendly for self-driving. It takes more than ten minutes to drive to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. After parking, you can walk to the Old Bridge and other attractions. There is a river behind the hotel. Cycling and hiking enthusiasts are often seen by the river. You can stand on the embankment to watch the sunset. The restaurant is a bit expensive, but the taste is very good. The room is fully equipped with a refrigerator and water heater, and the waiter will help with the luggage.

Very good experience
