Hotel Rita Major, Florence

Hotel Rita Major, Florence - set within a downtown building dating back to 1800, this Florence hotel has been offering a warm welcome in the heart of the city for the last 40 years. This is a charming, family run establishment, and is within a stone's throw of the major monuments, museums, galleries, churches and important public buildings. The centre of Florence is a remarkably beautiful place. Protected as a World Heritage site by UNESCO since the 1980s, Florence has been entrancing visitors for hundreds of years.

This is 'the cradle of the Renaissance', 'the Athens of the Middle Ages' and perhaps the greatest collection of art and architecture you will ever see. Superb public buildings and monuments abound - the Fountain of Neptune on the Piazza della Signoria, the Ponte Vecchio crossing the River Arno, the Duomo with its magnificent dome created by Brunelleschi. There are dozens of fine churches, world class museums such as the Uffizi, the Bargello, the Palazzo Pitti and the Accademia. And there are the more mundane, though no less important pleasures - superb restaurants, bars and cafes, and terrific designer shopping.

Lying on Via Della Mattonaia, this Florence hotel offers affordable two-star comfort, with a selection of single, double, triple and quadruple rooms. Bedrooms are charming and simple, though air conditioning and television are available on request. All rooms have a bathroom with shower and toilet. Attached to the hotel is a very good pizzeria/restaurant where you can enjoy dinner and drinks, and dinner is served in the hotel's private gardens.
