An Italian Masterpiece
Best-known for the stunning Duomo, Florence is full of amazing buildings and its historic centre. The Ponte Vecchio, a 14th-century bridge holding a multitude of shops on its edges is a stunning example and provides a truly unforgettable view.
Dig into more of the city’s historical past at the Basilica of Santa Croce, a Franciscan church full of great artwork and the burial place of Italian greats: Michelangelo and Galileo. The Uffizi Gallery is one of the world’s finest art museums and the Pitti Palace is not far behind.
For great dining, the Santa Croce district has countless options and the unique lampredotto is Florentine fast-food with a 1000-year old history. Many consider the local gelato, Italian ice-cream, to be the best in the world.
The beauty and flavours of Florence are just a 15-minute train ride from the Amerigo Vespucci International Airport. Whether you’re looking for a room with a view at a cosy B&B, a luxury hotel or an intimate guesthouse, Booking.com has the perfect accommodation for your Florence adventure.

Florence is a very busy City, pretty and well worth visiting.
Florence is a very busy City, pretty and well worth visiting. Two days are enough. Very crowded and horrendous queues for all main attractions. I wouldn't take young children as there's not much of interest for them, lots of walking and very crowded. The traffic makes getting around Florence a little scary at times too!

We had an unforgettable holiday in Florence!
We had an unforgettable holiday in Florence! It is an amaizing, beautiful city with harmonious symbiosis of rich history, culture and arts. You can find arts masterpieces in every Church of Florence, every house in Florence has an interesting historical background, there are many excellent museums to visit, is a real heaven for connoisseurs of art. We also enjoyed walking around exploring all hidden corners, narrow alleys, observing fantastic sunset from San Miniato al Monte, watching the full moon from Ponte Santa Trinita, discovering small workshops in Oltrarno, street concerts of jazz music... The food in Italy is very delicious for pizza, pasta and pastries lovers. The locals are extremely friendly and nice. Florence is a wonderful city to spend a long holidays!

The leather market was great.
The leather market was great. Make sure to bargain with vendors and bring cash.
We did a day trip to Cinque Terre that left from the train station through Viatour. This was a great way to see the villages. A well organized trip with a great tour guide and lunch.
Ciro and Son's was an amazing restaurant. It is very close to Duomo. We are their a few times. The family was so hospitable and the glutten free options were incredible. The eggplant paramagiano melted in my mouth, the lasangna, the pizzas, etc. All were amazing!!
One of our favourite cities!!

Went on the 4.
Went on the 4.30 Uffizi tour. Supposed to bypass queues but it took an hour to get in. Had to rush and miss out some important art because gallery was closing. Accademia and Michelangelos David were the highlight for my family. Difficult to put into words how emotional it felt.
The best restaurant was IL Porcospino. Fabulous staff and food. Sensibly priced. We went twice it was such a great experience.

Lots to see and do.
Lots to see and do. Hotel had plenty of brochures for tours and sights. Public transport is regular and reliable and makes getting around much easier. Several buses run from the train station and other important sites directly to the hotel.
“Best host ever! Cesare runs this hotel and he will be there for u whatewer u need, he is very attentive, will advise u what to visit and he even booked the tickets for us for the attractions.He is like a yoga master of Italy, calm and full of patience. The rooms r clean, were Florence style large full of space and air.Bathrooms r clean, good water pressure”
“The hotel and owner Antonio was amazing, room was modern and clean and house keeping were in everyday. A perfect location to see the best of Florence and Piazza's, shops, Sites, ristorante's, plus 15mins to Santa Maria Novello train station, best to stay at a small B & B hotel more quaint and special than a big hotel..if you like to emerce in the culture of Firenze, Italy. Highly recommend this hotel, Grazie Mille Antonio 😊😊 5 stars
I will be back 😊”
“Great location, close to the M.Novela train station(10min.walk), next to the local market(both for food, bags, souvenirs) and to all the attractions of the city.
-The room was big, brand new with comfy beds, the sheets and the towels very good quality. Much nicer than it's seen on the photos and quiet.
-Brand new lift- hard to find in Italy.
-Good breakfast for Italy, good staff at the hotel. Nicest place I've stayed in Florence. I'd definitely like to visit again.”
“On our recent rip to Italy this proved to be the best accommodation. Reception staff were very helpful,the location was ideal for the main sites of Florence, the bedroom was roomy, very appealing and quiet.Breakfast offered a good selection, and overall the hotel offered comfort and attention to detail.”
“This is our 2nd visit to Florence and 2nd stay in Hotel Bologna. The hotel is family owned and service is 5 star personal. Rooms are very clean and beds super comfortable.mini bar goods are very well priced with wide selection. Bologna has the best venue for breakfast (check the pictures) and great selection of food.staff are super friendly and helpful and even remembered us from our previous visit. We can highly recommend Hotel Bologna and will definitely stay there again. Florence is a must visit in Italy !”
