Customer Reviews Florence - Villa Camerata
| 16 Jan 2012 Joseph, Canada | 77% | |
| A beautiful hostel but its a long walk from the bus stop. The hostel appears to be located in a park and the road to the hostel is poorly lit and potentially a great place for thieves to hide if they wished to prey on tourists. | ||
| 08 Jan 2012 Nicolas, Italy | 97% | |
| There is free wifi in all the hostel, also in my room. The hostel garden is very beautiful. Fortunately there is also a good and cheap restaurant inside, open for dinner, because other places are quite expensive. Staff is very nice, so you can ask them help to book the next hostel. | ||

| Pretty good. | ||

| located in wildness out of town, but the building is good and the staffs are nice... | ||
| 01 Jan 2012 David, England & Wales | 63% | |
| The place is as nice as any other HI hostel, but the staff were unfriendly and even rude. Additionally, the location is removed from the city centre and with limited access options. | ||
| 26 Dec 2011 Yixiong, England & Wales | 50% | |
| The hotel is on the top of a hill, far away from city center and train station. Breakfast is very terrible. Room is cold. No entertainment. | ||
| 14 Dec 2011 Yulia, Russia | 93% | |
| This hostel is in a nice green area of Florence, not too far from the city center, and the building itself is an old villa surrounded with vineyards and a big park. Of course, if you you want to stay in the city center you can choose any other between many hostels in Florence, but if you want to relax from the chaotic tourist invasion and have a special experience this is the best choice. Inside the villa there is also a nice small cafe' with food and drinks, so you don't need to come back out the hostel for your dinner. But if you want to taste Florence nightlife remember that the last bus for the hostel is at 1 a.m. | ||

| The 4-person-room is small and doesn't have many choices during breakfast. But the service is really good and the location is quite interesting. the house is really beautiful | ||
| 23 Nov 2011 Pedro, Brazil | 73% | |
| Breakfast was poor. Just bread to eat. Should have more variety.
Security was poor as well, as the closets on the rooms were not possible to lock. | ||
| 18 Nov 2011 Susan, England & Wales | 97% | |
| Fabulous hostel and enjoyed our stay. Lovely to sit on the terrace. Beautiful garden.Beds very comfortable. Very clean everywhere. Would have liked a self catering kitchen, or even a micro wave to use. Would have liked access to a kettle to make hot drinks. | ||
