Set on the Golden Horn in a restored Ottoman shipyard, Rixos Tersane Istanbul is a new, stylish 5-star urban resort praised for its waterfront views, immaculate rooms and an exceptional breakfast spread. Guests repeatedly single out individual staff members (Sofia, Ibrahim, Pelin, Emirhan) for personalised service; minor issues reported are occasionally slow restaurant service and isolated deposit/refund disputes.
A restored 14–15th‑century riverside villa turned luxury hotel set in manicured gardens just outside Florence, Villa la Massa is repeatedly praised for its heartfelt, proactive staff, exceptional cuisine and serene poolside atmosphere. Many guests highlight personalised touches — anniversary/upgrades — and an efficient shuttle service to Florence, making it a top pick for romantic stays and special occasions.
