Good spot in the hills above Florence
The hotel met expectations. A little dated, but clean and comfortable beds, room not too hot, meant we slept well. A base for exploring Florence, enjoyable in its own right. I imagine it's lovely here in the spring. Would happily return.

Okay hotel far away from the highway
I picked the hotel with high expectation from both the pics and positive review. However it turned out to be the worst hotel we have ever stayed so far during our trip. To start with, the way to the hotel from Venice as directed by GPS and phone was getting more and more challenging and at several moments I feared we would never be able to make it. The zigzagged road was narrow and steep. When we finally got to the hotel, I further doubted my pick as I saw only one car in the yard, and it was 8pm. The two buildings didn't look as beautiful as in the pics. Actually they looked pretty creepy especially in the foggy rain. I was made more disappointed when learning that the two rooms I booked were actually located in two separate buildings, and neither had lifts. As if that was not enough. when we finally got ourselves into the rooms, I found no wifi at all. I was told later on that the dependent building didn't have wifi and the wifi in the other building was down and not fixed. Small room, small beds, pretty aged facilities, mediocre breakfast...I was trying to justify my own choice but unfortunately I couldn't find any. I need to give fair credit to the owner/manager. They were very friendly and helpful. And if you understand this was just a family-owned-and-run hotel, it was actually carefully maintained and had its own proud history. If you appreciate those more than the comfort or convenience, it may not be a bad choice. For me and my family, we won't come back again.

Well priced hotel in the hills above Florence
Histroric hotel located in a small village 15km away from Florence. Excellent value for money, good breakfast. Facilities a little tired but not bad considering that in was built in 1905. No internet in room but available in the foyer.

2/10 Poor

Be careful with hidden costs
Gioto's WiFi is limited to 1 building. If you want WiFi need to do an upgrade room that cost €80. Every time you want to go to the city must pay €50 for a 1-way Taxi. If no, you have a nightmare taking multiple auto-buses wasting your vacation time on this UGLY experience. I choose this hotel because they offered a €33/night rate and they took advantage of me. Once you get there you can not cancel. If so, they charge a penalty. No effective customer service! Never come back. Also they say they have food and it is not true. There is only 1 restaurant and you have to WALK 6-10 minutes to get there.

REnovation would not harm + breakfast fiasco !
Old hotel was never renewed in last 50 years. Bed is terrible!!! Breakfast was so bad!! You could choose only between to diferent typ of chees - no eggs, no salami, nothing you could choose!!! Terrible. Only good thing is that you are 20 kg out of city and it is quiet surrounding. Without car you are lost and helpless.

Lovely hotel in quiet setting.
We loved the hotel and it's grandeur in the little village on top of the hills above Florence. The only issue we had was it was very cold in Tuscany - snowing in fact and our radiator did not quite keep the room warm enough. The staff were lovely and provided us with more blankets.

Peaceful and happy
A car is a pain in Florence but without one you miss the Tuscan countryside. This hotel solves the puzzle with hillside tranquility, free parking and a very friendly hospitality. Leave the car in the morning at piazzale Michelangelo and explore Florence on foot. After hours of hustle bustle, you will be glad at the end of the day to be heading for the hills, feeling at home at Giotto Park. As anywhere in Tuscany, bring some repellent because mosquitoes do come out in the evening.

Lovely hotel but transport essential
Giotto Park is 2 grand buildings in a lovely hilltop setting approximately 20 minutes north of Florence. Convenient parking on site if with a car; no wifi in rooms; clean rooms; my en-suite was too small though; overall a good place to stay if not wanting to be in Florence but have access to it

Hotel is a good 20 min north of Florence. Definitely requires a vehicle to get to and from. Building & grounds are really lovely as is surrounding area. Rooms are clean & relatively comfortable. Bathroom was too small.

Wonderful villa in Tuscany.
Giotto Hotel is a lovely villa in a small Tuscan village 17 km. north of Florence on a state route, and there is convenient bus service a few km. away with free parking directly to San Marco in Florence. Rooms are well-appointed and clean, breakfast is tastefully presented and amply adequate. and the staff is friendly with extensive knowledge of the entire area and able to communicate in English. Highly recommend the hotel to those with a car who want to experience a beautiful Tuscan village in the hills.

Nice Hotel up in the mountains
Madame Claudine (I hope I got the name right), the owner and manager of the hotel is a very sweet lady. She makes sure that everyone feels welcomed and she is very charming. The hotel is more than a 100 years old and has its own character. Very clean and comfortable with a bit of history. It is not like the mule-stories hotel but rather an old Inn. It is about 15-20 minutes drive from Florence but the scene from the road is very beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed our stay there. Did I mentioned that for breakfast we got fresh home made bread.

We regret that we only had one night to enjoy the Giotto Park Hotel. After a day in the crowd down in Firenze, being up in Bivigliano at the Giotto was a welcome respite.

Secluded Hotel
We had a lovely stay in Italy and were happy to have chosen Giotto Park Hotel. The hotel is quiet and secluded, indeed we had the place to ourselves for part of our stay. The maître d' was welcoming and obliging, providing some homemade cakes with the continental breakfast.

Quaint hotel in a secluded location
This is a beautiful family run B&B style hotel. The building is old but is well maintained. The people who run it are the friendliest you could hope for and obliging of any request. We stayed in January and found the room a bit cold, though there were plenty of blankets for the beds. We found that it wasn't very conveniently located for visiting Florence, being half an hour drive away in the mountains. Perfect for a quiet retreat during the summer though if you don't want to be in Florence every day. Breakfast is included but is pretty basic consisting of a couple of hard bread rolls and jam and coffee that is barely drinkable with a delicious home-made cake, served with a smile. The wifi has been updated and worked for all our devices but not in our room which was too far away from the lobby area.

Exactly what a B&B should be
My daughter & I stayed here for 3 nights in April, 2013 and absolutely loved it. We stayed in two other hotels (a 4-star & a 3-star hotel) while in Italy, and this one was the best. Not only is the hotel pretty, comfortable, and clean, but the scenery on the way to it is gorgeous. We drove into Florence 3 times, and it only takes about 15-20 minutes to get to the historic portion of Florence by car. I'm not sure how long by bus. The female hostess/owner doesn't speak much English, but the younger male host speaks English fairly well and was very helpful in getting us to free parking in Florence and to Pisa & Riomaggiore. He's exactly what I hope for when staying at a local hotel or B&B, because he's very knowledgeable about the area and very willing to help if you ask for it. I printed directions from Google Maps and got lost a few times trying to find Giotto Park Hotel. I'd say borrow or rent a GPS if you're driving to it; they have the coordinates on their website. Fortunately every Italian we asked for help and/or directions was very accommodating even if they didn't speak English. Everything worked perfectly (tv, shower, sink, lights,...). They have wi-fi, but it doesn't work with an iPad or iPhone. It was a usb adapter for a pc. That forced us to find free wi-fi in places like McDonald's. Other than that, the stay was perfect, and we'd stay there in a heartbeat if we went back to Italy.
