Florence hotels - the 2 star Hotel Bijou, Florence, Tuscany, Italy

Hotel Bijou, Florence

A home from home in the heart of one of Italy's most romantic and culturally fascinating cities, this Florence hotel is housed in a restored historic building within walking distance of all the sights. The modern rooms are equipped with the standard conveniences including satellite television, private bathrooms and minibars, and there is a lift/elevator to every floor. You will awake every morning to a large continental breakfast included in the price of your room.

The city of Firenze (Florence) is an art-lovers dream. The enormous Uffizi museum is host to the world's greatest collection of Italian Renaissance art and you'd need days to see everything in it. Michaelangelo's David can be seen in all its glory in the Accademia gallery and you can shop for a piece of art of your own in the Ponte Vecchio's arcade of fine jewellery shops spanning the river Arno. If you tire of culture, you can enjoy a Tuscan feast in one of the many trattorias (local restaurants) on the downtown Via Corso just moments from your hotel's front door.

This hotel in Florence features a rooftop terrace from which you can see the roof of the multicoloured Duomo (Cathedral) or watch the evening sun set over the river. The informative staff are happy to advise you on where to go and can book visits to the city's museums. Laundry services, luggage storage and safety deposit boxes are available and there is 24-hour porter service. Private parking can be arranged nearby and the bus and train stations are a short taxi ride away.
