| The Royal hotel is housed in a magnificent, late-18th century villa located in a quiet area of Florence, only 500 metres away from the Santa Maria Novella railway station, the Palazzo dei Congressi Convention Hall, and the historic centre. The villa, former residence of the owners until 1950, was turned into a hotel and, in 1990, completely restored under new management by the Messina family. The property features ample on-site parking facilities and a beautiful garden, and offers guests the convenience of close proximity to all most important monuments, museums and commercial streets, together with the certainty of a relaxing stay away from the metropolitan traffic. During summer 2006, the new outdoor swimming pool is available until August 31st between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. |
