About Hotel Ungherese Small Luxury Hotel
Nestled in the upscale residential district of San Domenico, Hotel Ungherese Small Luxury Hotel is a hidden treasure housed in a beautifully preserved 19th-century villa. This three-star boutique property punches well above its weight, offering an atmosphere of exclusivity and tranquility that is often reserved for much larger luxury estates.

The interiors reflect a classic Florentine aesthetic, where period architecture meets thoughtful modern upgrades. Each of the guest rooms is uniquely appointed, featuring essential comforts like air conditioning, satellite TV, and a minibar, all while maintaining the historic integrity of the villa.

The hotel’s location is one of its greatest assets; situated on the road leading up to the historic hilltop town of Fiesole, it offers a refreshing breeze and a quieter pace of life, yet the iconic Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery are reachable within minutes via a convenient local bus or taxi.
