Hotel in Florence, historic city centre accommodation

Albergo Firenze, Florence

This hotel in Florence is right in the midst of the old town, surrounded by famous monuments and galleries on every side. It is just off the Piazza Donati, named after the aristocratic family who once lived there and to which Gemma Donati, the wife of Dante Alighieri, belonged.

The streets around the Albergo Firenze are filled with specialist boutiques where you can buy typical Florentine handicrafts to keep as souvenirs or offer as gifts. The majestic Duomo, or cathedral is just a couple of blocks away from the hotel, and is probably one of Florence's most emblematic buildings. It is the product of several centuries of design and construction and the work of many artists. It comprises the elegant dome by Brunelleschi, which dominates the skyline, the Baptistery, and the bell tower by Giotto, which you can climb for amazing views of the city. Also within walking distance of the hotel, are the Uffizi Gallery, with its outstanding collection of European painting, including Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's oldest bridge. Across the river, on the other side of the Ponte Vecchio, is the Palazzo Pitti, with its many fascinating museums and tranquil Boboli Gardens.

This Florence hotel has friendly staff who are able to offer advice on restaurants, transport and activities. It provides luggage storage and a 24-hour concierge service, as well as a generous continental breakfast included in the room price. The bedrooms themselves are furnished in a modern style and are equipped with en-suite bathroom, telephone, satellite TV and safety deposit box.
