4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2012

If you're a backpacker on a budget and you're out seeing the sights all day, it's fine. I slept well, and it was good to be out of the city centre. Convenient bus stop at the end of the drive, and it's in a pleasant area. Clean floors, lockable rooms, adequate facilities, helpful staff. I was worried about noise from... More

Beautiful place in a beautiful town. Easy to reach also by bus. Nice price. Breakfast should offer a better choice of food.

Worst hostel I´ve ever been. I stayed there a long time ago, but it seems that nothing has changed. Like everybody says, it´s far from Florence, and the walk up (through the woods) is a bit creepy at night. The building needed urgent renovations (it must have been a superb place in its time). The place was crowded. The dorms... More

Villa Camerata Youth Hostel was a decent place to stay. The distance into the city center was not incredibly time consuming (20-30 mins by bus) and the location is very quiet and peaceful. What bugged us about this place was the apparent lack of regard for the customer. Both desk managers seemed quite rude and acted like we were inconveniencing... More

I stayed in the hostel for one week with my friends and I really enjoyed the stay. The building is very old and well maintained, staff is nice and helpful, guests are very international and it's set in a very beautiful and peaceful surrounding. Also it has a nice balcony which I really enjoyed. Of course there are then mosquitos... More

We quite enjoyed the stay in the hostel, a former convent and thus very beautiful with garden and everything. The breakfast was good and in the evening one could eat in the bistro, which was very good as the hostel is located far away from the city center. It takes about 20 min by bus to get there and when... More

Florence is a small city, so its pretty easy to get anywhere EXCEPT THIS PLACE. Its located far from the city center, so it was pretty pricey to take a taxi from the train station when we first arrived. The place was really big and kind of creepy because it was so empty. The rooms were below average, and you... More

I liked this place, so much that I stayed 4 days. I have to say, I did get bed bugs, unfortunately you can't tell if I got it from this place or not because they can take several days to show up. With this in mind, the place was absolutely great, beautiful and a wonderful history, worth the money, a... More
