Florence, Tuscany hotels - Royal Hotel, Italy

Royal Hotel, Florence

This hotel in Florence (Firenze) is an 18th century private villa that has been elegantly restored by its current management: the Messina family. Located in a quiet area of town, the three-star Royal Hotel, Florence is situated off the street in a large garden area, close to the central rail station. Getting into and around the city is easy, and you can head out to explore the superb countryside of Tuscany, and other historic cities such as Siena, Pisa and Lucca.

The rooms are quiet and provide excellent views of the garden, which boasts a wonderful floral display. A sitting room overlooks the back garden of the hotel and, during the warmer months, breakfast can be enjoyed al fresco. Double, triple and twin rooms are available. These all include air conditioning, shower, toilet, bath, minibar, TV with cable and satellite connection, in-room safe, desk and lamp, central heating and a direct dial phone. All rooms also come with a security chain. Families are welcome, with babysitting and child services provided on request. There is also a laundry service, and car parking is freely available.

The hotel is a quiet, relaxed place to stay, despite its close proximity to the commercial and downtown areas of Firenze and the many cultural landmarks of Florence, such as the Ponte Vecchio (bridge) and the Uffizi Gallery. The magnificent Duomo (cathedral) is 500 metres away, and the Fortezza da Basso congress and exhibition centres are also nearby. This Florence hotel has a meeting room for functions, and an American bar for evening entertainment. Whether you're staying for business or pleasure, you'll find the Royal Hotel the perfect base.
