My stay at Ville Sull'Arno was nice, thanks to its charming spa and exquisite dining options. The private grotto spa was a good treat, offering a warm pool and sauna that I absolutely loved. However, the distance from central Florence meant I had to rely on the shuttle or long walks, which was a bit of a hassle. While the room was beautifully decorated, I found it quite small and the traffic noise during the day made it hard to relax.
