About
Villa Royal
Villa Royal occupies a historic building in Florence's Historic Centre, a 20-minute walk from the Uffizi galleries. The hotel's leafy garden and seasonal outdoor pool provide a calm counterpoint to the busy streets, while the interior mixes antique furniture with modern conveniences like air conditioning and flat-screen TVs.
Guests can use the sun terrace, picnic area, and leisure/TV room, and the 24-hour reception makes late arrivals straightforward.

With a relaxed atmosphere and a range of room types from economy singles to garden-view suites, it suits both short city breaks and longer stays.
