Two star hotels, Florence, Italy

Hotel Derby, Florence

This hotel in Florence is a quiet and friendly place on Via Nazionale, just a short walk from the sights of the city and conveniently located for the train station. The rooms are decorated in a spartan, airy style and many have views of the city's skyline. Each room features an en-suite bathroom. A continental breakfast is served each morning and during the summer months you can enjoy it on the hotel's rooftop terrace overlooking the spires of the city.

Only a block away is the Mercato Centrale, where Florence's residents flock to buy fish, meats, and cheeses. If you wander in at lunchtime, stallholders can prepare packages of Tuscan specialities for you to take away. The market at San Lorenzo is nearby for those with a love of arts and crafts. Everything from leather goods to antiques is available in this bustling street market. The grand sights of downtown Florence are within walking distance - you can browse the wonders of Renaissance art in the Uffizi gallery, marvel at the enormous domed roof of the Duomo (Cathedral) or throw a coin into the Fountain of Neptune on the Piazza della Signoria.

The staff at this Florence hotel are able to help with a variety of services including booking museum visits and guided tours of the city's highlights. They'll also be more than happy to recommend and book a local restaurant. At the 24-hour reception you'll find luggage storage, a safe for your valuables and free maps of the city centre.
