hotel outside
The Da Vinci hotel is a modern structure of recent construction, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, situated in the heart of Tuscany, not far from Vinci. The premises and all the rooms are designed and achieved to meet the needs of guests travelling both for business and pleasure.
Osteria Ripa d'Arno is the cosy hotel restaurant where Tuscan culinary traditions and Mediterranean cuisine are matched by the elegance of the refined premises. The typical local dishes are interpreted in a modern key, introducing new tastes and offering a selected local and Italian wine list.
On-site amenities include a restaurant, meeting facilities, an around-the-clock self-service bar in the entrance hall and a basket with fresh fruit, placed on every floor.
LOCATION
City Area:Surroundings of Florence
Italy
The hotel is in the area of the Montalbano hills, surrounding the town of Vinci, where it is possible to visit Leonardo's home and museum with his original models and drawings, the library and the castle with its wine cellar.
The main square of Vinci features an enormous bronze horse, which has been made by the Japanese sculptor Nina Akamu, after master Leonardo's drawings.
Vinci and the closeby towns Cerreto Guidi, Empoli, Capraia, Limite and Montelupo Fiorentino preserve the memory of ancient civilisations with castles and town centres from the Middle Ages and villas and palaces from the Renaissance.
The land, canals and roads around Vinci were drawn by Leonardo. This peaceful landscape is ideal for excursions, guided tours to vineyards as well as tastings of wine, oil and local products.

The air conditioning wasn't working and we were unable to open the window. The staff were unable to help us.

Premier séjour dans cet hôtel satisfaisant mais pour moi c'est plus un bon 2 étoiles (un abat jour cassé et non remplacé, des serviettes de toilettes manquantes, pas de chaines de télévisions en français...). Petit déjeuner un peu cher (7€70). Peu d'efforts du personnel pour parler français.

Very comfortable and modern hotel offering great value for money. We had a car, and parking was free and convenient on the hotel grounds. The hotel restaurant serves excellent food, but the ambience was a little sterile. There is a very good restaurant right down the street.

unico neo aver avuto la camera per portatori di handicap inoltre potrebbero migliorare il breakfast servendo al posto delle torte millefoglie con crema e panna delle più fragranti e gradite varietà di brioches

Compared to the quality of the rooms and the hotel the breakfast was not so good. The hotel itself is definitely a 4 star hotel, the breakfast rather meets the expectations of a 3 star hotel - at least if compared to a hotel in central Europe. There is a very good Restaurant only 200m from the hotel - also recommended by the hotel staff.

Un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Le restaurant était fermé, mais à 200m un très bon restau pas cher recommandé par l'hôtel. Très bonne étape pour rayonner en Toscane.

The hotel is OK for a 4-star but not a something special. The place is quiet, rooms are clean, but not big. The personal is friendly and ready to help. The rate we got was very attractive (49E w/o breakfast). First day we paid for the breakfast (7.7E per person) but were very disappointed by it. Very basic choice, poor service. We came right after a group of 10-15 tourists and found the food corner just empty. I mean realy empty - no juices, no bread, no yogurts, no cakes, no fruits - nothing. It took 10 min for the personal to realise that and another 10 min to refill. So you better look for another place for a morning coffee (especially if you are with a car). Except this - a good hotel with friendly service. 7 from 10. BTW, there is a good place to eat just 300m from the hotel. Called "Meeting" and open till 3AM. I liked it.

A really enjoyable stay in this clean, modern and efficient hotel. Everything excellent except for two small things. Using internet via TV screen frustrating using dodgy trackball and keyboard, and the page didn't fit the screen. Breakfast staff a bit dour and seemed to be annoyed at being asked for coffee (erratic availability). However, these are only minor gripes and I would definitely stay here again in the future. Brilliant value for money.

Try the family restaurant only 100 m away from the hotel: the food is excellent, the prices are moderate and the staff is polite, nice and very friendly. There are many outlet stores around the hotel.

I was surprised not to receive breakfast included in the room rate as is usual in Italy. I had to pay for breakfast each morning.

Ottima struttura a 20 minuti di passeggiata dalla stazione ferriviaria di Empoli, dalla quale si può partire per visitare le principali città della Toscana; è comunque consigliabile avere l'auto. Albergo moderno ed accogliente, la colazione non è inclusa nel prezzo ma resta comunque ottimo il rapporto qualità prezzo, personale molto gentile. Ci tornerò sicuramente e lo consiglio vivamente.

El hotel sensacional, limpio, fashion y un poco difícil de encontrar sinó hubiésemos llevado el GPS.El precio más que interesante!!!! 42euros la habitación de los 2!!!El precio era sin desayuno y mi recomendación cómo cocinero que soy es q os lo podéis ahorrar. Bastante limitado para 1 hotel de 4 estrellas. Salvo ése detalle todo genial. La estación de tren es la q corresponde a Empoli y hay 15 minutos andando desde el hotel. Para cualquier consulta aki está mi mail.

Endroit très agréable avec un prix redoutablement bas qui ne cache... rien, excepté qu'il ne convient que si l'on a un véhicule. Les environs direct n'ont pas d'intérêt mais les villages environnant sont magnifique, a recommander absolument

I have stayed at Hotel Da Vinci twice and am more than happy with stays. It is a modern, clean, chrome and glass premises, smart bathroom and nice rooms. Location is a bit off the tourist trail (about 4k off Fi-Pi-Li)but is easy to find and prices have been low considering the quality of the place. I dont look for 'homely' places, I want a clean smart hotel and I would highly recommend Da Vinci.

Very new and modern hotel. Very nice and helpful staff. The price was very surprising, because it was the cheapest (47 Euro) and the best hotel of our travel through Italy. Very near to Vinci, the town of Leonardo. There is a mall and Coop in front of the hotel, just few steps.

It was wonderful staying in Hotel Da Vinci. The rooms are very modern, spacious and the ambience is great. The town empoli near the hotel is worth visiting especially a walk after a dinner. The hotel has adeuate parking place and makes it perfect to stay even for visitors to Florence and Vinci. I would highly recommend this hotel.

è la 5 volta che vado in questo albergo: ogni volta scopro che dal prezzo è escluso un nuovo servizio: prima il bagno turco, poi la colazione... Inoltre, nel servizio in camera (pagato ben 5 €) non mi è stato neppure portato del pane

This hotel was quite clean and well appointed. About 20 minutes walk from the station, and 10 minutes from Empoli town center. It's really not in Vinci. Breakfast is not included, and there is no room service.

Albergo moderno e dotato di tutti i comforts; peccato per la scarsità di punti di ristoro nelle immediate vicinanze e per la porta del bagno, progettata proprio per non chiudersi...moderna sì, ma addio privacy!

ottima struttura; ottimo servizio; camere spaziose e pulite; ottimo il servizio al ristorante; personale molto cortese ed abbiamo mangiato in maniera deliziosa per un prezzo decisamente inferiore a quello di ristoranti in zona dove non si è mangiato allo stesso modo. Il prezzo della camera, poi, è sconvolgente. 42 euro per un 4 stelle di grande qualità. Assolutamente consigliabile

great hotel for the lowest price! no problem of getting there after taking the right exit to empoly from the firenze- livorno hw. there are signs all the way to the hotel. actually we taught that the hotel will be situated in a country like atmosphere but not at all- its in a suburban town near empoly. great place. and a tip for the firenze tourists: dont drive firenze by car. the empoly train station is a five minute drive from the hotel, across the arno river. from there firenze is a 30 minute of a covenient and economic (3 eur) drive and you dont have to navigate the jams or the dear and not friendly parking lots of firenze.

Hotêl ultra - moderne. Très propre. Peut-être un peu impersonnel. Le rapport qualité prix pour cette période était excellent (le petit déjeuner est compris). Les chambres sont superbes pour ceux qui aiment le moderne (pas toujours le même charme). A proximité immédiate, une zone commerciale. Vous pourrez rapidement joindre en voiture le musée et la maison natale de Léonard de Vinci (Paysage beaucoup plus traditionnel avec des oliviers et des vignes). Egalement à proximité de l'autoroute, ce qui est pratique pour visiter Florence en voiture). Nous sommes très satisfait de cet Hôtel.

E' un vero 4 stelle ad un prezzo eccezionale. Situato in un paesino molto tranquillo a pochissima distanza sia da Firenze che da Pisa.

L'hotel est situé près de la ville d'Empoli dans un quartier sans aucun intérêt touristique à 8Kms du village de VINCI. L'avantage de la localisation réside dans la proximité de la strada statale "Fi-Pi-Li" qui permet de joindre très facilement les villes de FLORENCE-PISE et LIVOURNE. L'établissement est récent et moderne, bien insonorisé et climatisé ce qui est appréciable, le personnel est sympathique et souriant. Il n'y a pas de restauration au sein de l'hotel, et il est difficile de trouver un restaurant à proximité.

This hotel is one of the best I stayed in during the trip in Italy, and it is quite cheap aswell. I regreted that I couldn't stay there longer than 1 night. Located near main road with plenty of parkings spaces around, and perhalps you could park your car in the street aswell. Rooms are spacious, and with bed that wont sink under you nor make your back stiff. It is possible to connect your notebook to internet straight in the room, but for 4 euro/hour or 10euro/24 hours. Breakfast consists of decent choice of buffet, but hot scrabled eggs, and pieces of sausage are nice touch. Staff is polite, and helpfull. Only one young guy who was at the front desk during my check out barely spoke any english, and it took me a while to explain him that I wanted "a bill". This is just a small flaw though, and I can highly recommend this hotel to anyone arriving by car. There is hardly any public transport in the village. It takes about 20 or 30 mins by car to reach it from Florence. There is a small supermarket near the hotel.

pochissimi mesi fa avevo soggiornato e l'accesso all'area fitness (e bagno turco) era gratuito. Questa volta alla reception mi hanno informata che l'accesso è a pagamento, e questo nonostante nel depliant in camera sia ancora riportato free. Pessima sorpresa per un albergo ottimo sotto tutti gli altri aspetti
