About
Relais Villa Antea
Relais Villa Antea is a 5-star property set in a quiet residential area of Florence, roughly a 25-minute walk from the Uffizi Galleries. The hotel has just six rooms, along with a terrace and a garden, giving it the feel of a private guesthouse rather than a conventional hotel.
The building itself is an elegant Tuscan villa, and guests consistently mention the spacious, well-appointed rooms and the large bathrooms. Breakfast is served in a bright room and includes made-to-order eggs and espresso drinks, a detail that stands out in reviews.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Personal, guesthouse feel — With only six rooms, the property operates more like a private villa than a hotel, and guests repeatedly mention the attentive, available owner and staff.
- Quiet but walkable location — Set in a peaceful neighborhood, it's a 15–25 minute walk to the historic center and main sites, far from the tourist crowds.
- Spacious, well-equipped rooms — Rooms are large and elegantly furnished, with big marble bathrooms and garden access from some. One guest noted a room of 45 sq m.
- Made-to-order breakfast — The breakfast spread includes freshly cooked eggs and espresso drinks, a step above the typical continental offering.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in ends at 19:00 — The check-in window is 14:30–19:00, which may be tight if you're arriving late into Florence.
- Limited on-site parking — Parking is mentioned as available but only in-house and at an extra charge; it may not suit those wanting free or guaranteed spots.
- Small scale, less anonymity — With just six rooms, this is not a full-service hotel — there's no mention of a restaurant or bar, and the atmosphere is more intimate.
- Some rooms may face street noise — While the neighborhood is quiet, the property is on Via Puccini, and no soundproofing is mentioned; light sleepers might want to request a garden-facing room.

9Verified guest“The room was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, with impeccable furnishings. The bathroom was grand and well-appointed, with plush towels and soft sheets. Breakfast was good, with made-to-order eggs and espresso drinks. The staff were kind and accommodating. The location was good, away from the hustle and bustle but still walkable to the city center.”
9Verified guest“The location was great, close to the train station and town. The rooms were great, and the bed and linens were wonderful. The breakfast was delicious and real food — not just a muffin in a bag or a rubber bagel. Most of all, the owner was very available and super sweet.”
9Verified guest“All things”
9Verified guest“The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood just a leisurely 20-minute walk to the historic center of the old city. It's away from the touristy area but still within walking distance of many attractions. Our room was spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable. The large marble-tiled bathroom with a good shower system was impressive. The breakfast was delicious, with freshly cooked eggs and many options to choose from. We loved the in-house parking space, which was worth the extra charge.”
9Verified guest“This is a super place to stay; our room was spacious and the decor lovely. It had doors leading onto the garden, and the bathroom was huge. Florence was busier than we had anticipated, so coming back to this quiet location was a real positive. The staff were excellent, courteous, and helpful. The breakfast room is lovely, and the breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend to couples looking for a touch of luxury at a good price.”
9Verified guest“It is a very original family hotel, a nice experience compared to chain hotels of a similar category. It feels more like a guesthouse rather than a hotel.”
