Location Map of Hotel Villa Aurora
Description:
Fiesole, with its wealth of archaeological finds from its ancient Etruscan and then Roman past, lies in the luxuriant hills which dominate the Florentine skyline. Here, where time seems to stand still amongst the centuries-old cypress trees and ancient ruins, stands the Hotel Villa Aurora, once a theatre entertaining the British nobility built by Sir W. B. Spence. After the performances, the wealthy English lord would entertain his guests and the members of the Walking Mens Club (the many British citizens who would arrive on foot from their nearby villas), inviting them to refreshments at the Hosteria. This old tavern was already a landmark on the city maps of the period, but it was around that time that it became known as Aurora, taking the name from the great fresco L'Aurora by Guido Reni which adorned the façade of the theatre. The breathtaking views enjoyed from the terraces of Hotel Villa Aurora which extend over Florence and the Arno Valley inspired painters, poets and musicians including G. DAnnunzio, G. Carducci and Toselli. Still today, this prestigious past is alive, and although the hotel has been internally renovated and enhanced with every modern comfort, Hotel Villa Aurora continues to offer its guests that same welcoming but refined atmosphere for which it became famous. The rooms, carefully maintained in all their details, are stylishly furnished and offer every comfort, including air conditioning, direct telephone line, satellite TV, minibar, and, on request, spa and sauna. Non-smoking floors available. Villa Aurora also offers a spacious solarium where you can bask in the warm sun and, sipping a delicious, fresh cocktail, make your stay even more pleasant.
