  Decepción

  La llegada en coche al aparcamiento privado del hotel a la caída de la tarde fué prometedora, pero la impresión cambió pronto. Nada en este hotel se corresponde con la idea que te haces de él a partir de las imagenes en la web. No es un cuatro estrellas ni de lejos pero te cobran un precio como si lo fuera. Las vistas impresionantes sobre Florencia, que fué lo que nos cautivó para elegirlo, resultaron decepcionantes. El ambiente elegante de hotel clásico y refinado que esperábamos fué un fiasco total en la realidad: falta de mantenimiento, detalles incomprensibles en la habitación (paredes sucias, nevera blanca sobre una banqueta desvencijada, cortinas cutres en la bañera, televisión tamaño pantalla de ordenador...), salones cerrados, pasillos y estancias tétricas, ambiente general inquietante. La piscina tan atractiva de las fotos acabó siendo un lugar pequeño y sucio que te quitaba todas las ganas de bañarte. Decepcionante totalmente para las expectativas que llevábamos, y eso que podría ser un lugar fantástico si se renovara totalmente (quizá lo fué en el pasado). Tiene, eso sí, una muy buena situación para coger autobuses o taxis hacia Florencia y Fiesole es un lugar agradable y tranquilo, con diversas trattorias con terrazas acogedoras que, por lo menos, nos permitieron escapar del restaurante del hotel (que ni nos apeteció probar...)

  Sights of Italy

  Excellent day with beautiful views of the city of Florence. Stopped for lunch and at the Hotel Aurora - had toasted mozzarella on toast covered with mushrooms to share. We both had spaghetti with tomatoes and basil with beers. Very nice. Not too expensive and very pleasant staff.

  the view is very nice but does not make up for poor and unkind service, dirty wc, run down dining area and over the top prices..... do not go, even though they may have bought a recommendation in some "have to do and see" guides - at the prices they charge they can afford to!

  Lovely View, Good Food

  Took the 7 bus from Florence to Fiesole to see the views and have lunch. Looked in several restaurants but didn't have views. Went down the steps to the Aurora and thought the magnificent view would make up for any other shortcomings. We were given a lovely table looking out over Florence. We were then served a very good meal by a pleasant and helpful waiter. It wasn't cheap but wasn't particularly expensive for great food in a great location.

  room with a view

  I've used Villa Aurora for myself, family and friends since 2007. I first knew of Villa Aurora when my great aunt Silvia brought me there on Sunday outings for an ice cream in Fiesole when I lived with my grandparents in Florence, in the 1960's and 1970's. Thus I just use the most immediate date provided by TripAdvisor to update my 2013 review for this historical profile. Villa Aurora was a favourite destination of European Nobility, including Great Britain's Queen Victoria Empress of the Indies. Villa Aurora offers an excellent structure for hosting guests or family above Florence. The fresh air above the trees and hills below Fiesole offers a view. In keeping with historical customs of elite and European Nobility, Villa Aurora offers a 19th century terrace and swimming pool, greenery, historic pre-Victorian era architecture, guarded and gated private parking for automobiles, with scenic jogging and hiking trails around the villa. For children there are babysitting arrangements and Etruscan, Roman, and early Christian as well as later Medieval amphitheaters, civic meeting points, museums and galleries. Of course Villa Aurora offers the situation for comfortable encounters with family, lovers, or friends - as well as professional business and diplomatic exchange areas and conference accommodations. Although the staff can be a little snobby every necessity is accommodated and, if necessary, suitably compartmentalized. For several years I have hosted at the Villa Aurora family and friends.
