Accommodation in Florence

Italians recommend that you spend more than a day to discover the beauty of Florence, and you will need at least a long weekend. To get a room in Florence is quite difficult, especially if it’s a spur of the moment decision. That’s why its wise to book a fortnight in advance to save yourself from unwanted trauma. Tourists fill the city because they all come to see the glorious beauty of Florence. Often the more cost effective hotels can be full in November, and the situation is that even in low season the hotel prices remain high.

Driving to Florence is a little problematic at times. Along with putting up with the crazing driving methods performed by the locals, the police in Florence will not let you enter the city unless you have a hotel booking or you need to unload your luggage somewhere. Make sure if you book an hotel that its got some parking space available.
There are many 5 star hotels throughout the city. The 5 star hotels located on Piazza di Ognissanti are where the VIPs and politicians stay when they come to Florence. There are also luxurious hotels around Piazza della Repubblica and near the peaceful square of Piazza DAzeglio.

If visiting Florence for business only, then maybe you will find it easier to stay beside the airport on the main motorways.

For a three star choice, the area around Santa Maria Novella is a good choice as well as on the banks of the Lungarni which can be a good 10 minutes walk from the centre. Also the area around the train station in Santa Maria Novella has many two and three star hotels. Via Panzani and via Nazionale have a great choice of reasonably priced hotels and many of these are in majestic palazzi, and run by local families which give a warmer touch to your stay.
