Location. Opened in 2004, this former orphanage and restored 16th-century aristocratic villa is set in lush landscaped gardens surrounded by Tuscan countryside and situated nine kilometres from Florence. Vespucci Airport (FLR) is seven kilometres from the hotel , around 10 minutes by car. Hotel Features. A long tree-lined driveway flanked by lush gardens leads guests up to the main building where a discreet entrance opens into the smart high-ceilinged lobby area. During the summer months, guests can soak up...(see more) the sun around the outdoor pool on sun loungers, or take refuge with a drink under parasols while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding Tuscan hills. A peaceful garden with ponds, fountains and lush greenery is also available to help guests unwind. The Granducato Hotel's restaurant, Locando Toscana, has a farmhouse atmosphere with exposed beams and brick, red tiled floors low-lit with three large chandeliers, and more contemporary touches. A menu of Tuscan specialities accompanied by a large section of Italian and international wines is served. Guestrooms. The Granducato Hotel features 60 guestrooms spread over the two floors of the main property and several annex buildings. All rooms blend smart, contemporary decor with wooden flooring, modern art prints, and a mixture of chic modern furnishings with marble insets and traditional Tuscan-style pieces. Beds feature a choice of pillows, large padded headboards and premium cotton sheets and duvets. In-room entertainment is provided by 21-inch televisions with satellite channels and pay movies, while refreshments are available from minibars.
