Hotel Villa Carlotta, Florence

Away from the bustle of the city, Hotel Villa Carlotta is surrounded by parks and gardens for a relaxing stay, just a 15-minute walk from the River Arno.

This elegant 19th-century country manor has been beautifully converted into a four-star hotel. Each of the guest rooms has a view of the green hills that surround Florence. Each room comes with air conditioning, satellite TV, and free Wi-Fi.
