Location

The ideal starting point to discover Florence, immersed in the Tuscan countryside

Villa Tolomei Hotel & Resort enjoys a unique location: close to the historic centre of Florence and, at the same time, nestled in a quiet setting surrounded by greenery. Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, the Uffizi and the city’s most iconic landmarks are just minutes away.

But guests who choose Villa Tolomei discover something more — a quieter, more personal rhythm of life, where the beauty of a restored historic villa blends seamlessly with the calm of nature, all while enjoying the comforts of a 5-star hotel in Florence.

Private parking and a prime location let you stay close to everything — while still enjoying the quiet of the Tuscan countryside.

How to reach us

By train
By train

Villa Tolomei Hotel & Resort is located about 3.5 km from Florence Santa Maria Novella train station. You can reach us using public transport: take bus no. 36, 37, or 11 to the “Porta Romana” stop, then bus no. 42 from “San Giusto della Calza” to “Marignolle Piana”, right in front of the hotel entrance. Alternatively, a taxi service is available, with a journey time of approximately 10 minutes.

By car

From the north, take the Firenze Scandicci exit, follow the Firenze–Pisa–Livorno road and continue along Viale Etruria toward the city centre. From the south, take the Firenze Impruneta exit and continue along Via Senese. Once you reach Piazzale di Porta Romana, take Via Ugo Foscolo and continue along Via Santa Maria a Marignolle — you’ll find Villa Tolomei 800 metres ahead, on your right.
The drive from the highway exit takes about 15 minutes. If you're using a GPS, we recommend entering “Via Santa Maria a Marignolle 10”, with an intermediate stop at “Piazzale di Porta Romana” to avoid very narrow side streets.

Alternatively, you can reach Florence by bus with the Appennino Shuttle (departures every 2 hours) to the "Firenze-Fortezza" stop in Piazzale Montelungo.
