An Italian Masterpiece
Best-known for the stunning Duomo, Florence is full of amazing buildings and its historic center. 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 one of my absolute cities in Italy.
Florence is one of my absolute cities in Italy. Perhaps because it is somewhat small so it seems more manageable than Rome. There are so many wonderful sites to see; ancient churches, magnificent mansions, interesting town squares filled with art and interesting people to see. Of course there is Michelanglo, Da Vinci, Rafael and many other famous artists whose work is everywhere in the city. Shopping there is wonderful, especially for shoes and jewelry. Be prepared for CROWDS so you probably want to sign up for tours and or buy the City Pass which gives you "no-waiting in line" access to many museums and other attractions. Enjoy its the Renaissance world at its best.

The high concentration of world class points of interest is mind-blowing, but you are probably aware of this already. Seriously, I had so many jaw-dropping moments that I got TMJ. Beyond the art, the history and the cultural contributions though, I had some unexpectedly fantastic morning and evening runs along the Arno, up to Piazzale Michelangelo, and into the hills around town. If you like to run or jog, it's a great way to see beyond the city center.

We took a private tour to Cinque Terre which was a private air conditioned van seating six people and it was expensive but worth every penny. This was the best tour ever. Enjoyed the entire day, Cinque Terre is beautiful

Very old and interesting city.
Very old and interesting city. Very crowded with people but easy to find your way around town. The people are very friendly,too. Things to note, you have to get taxis by calling or at a taxi stop. Cathedrals will not let you in with short skirts or short shorts or tank tops. I loved the different shops, cafes, historical buildings, museums and locations.

One of the great cities of Europe.
One of the great cities of Europe. Just relax and see what you can. You will always return for another visit. The Santa Maria Novella church offers the foundation for art for the next four centuries and the Laurentian Library historic. Two gelato a day is required and Italian coffe is the best in the world.

Florence is a delightful city, compact and so engaging.
Florence is a delightful city, compact and so engaging. We have visited many times so this time we focused on learning more about the Medici influence and the contemporary art scene. The Bill Viola exhibition and Beaufort Exhibition at the top of the Bobali gardens were a hit for us. We also loved all the street music as we strolled home after dinner in the evenings. What a talented group of young artists abound.
“It was at a central location, we loved it with my wife. It was our first time in Florence, and also in Italy.
There was an organized parking service which was great. The hotel forgot to mention it on their profile.
The hotel stuff communicates well via phone or email.”
“Perfect location, and very friendly staff! Just a 2 min walk from the Duomo. Decent breakfast to get you set on your day. Patrick is one of the friendliest hotel staff we encountered on our entire trip to Italy - not just Florence.”
“The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They mapped out all of the locations we planned to visit in Florence for us and even printed museum tickets when we needed them. We loved this location - so close to everything but not too crowded. They have a kitchen with snacks and an area to make cappuccino or espresso. The room was modern and clean - much larger than other hotels we visited while in Italy.”
“Perfect location. We loved being right next to the Uffizi gallery and having a wonderful view of the square outside. The breakfast room and lovey common area sitting room were charming. All of the staff were exceptionally warm and inviting. I cannot say enough good things about our 3 days at this hotel.
Our room was very clean and roomy and the breakfast buffet was very good.
This was our first trip to Italy and Relais Uffiz was our first stop. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Florence.”
“EVERYTHING. Out of the 4 hotels we stayed in during our 13 day tour of Italy, this was hands down the best. Alessandro is very kind and accomodating. The location is excellent - walking distance to everything in Florence. The room was large and had great free Wi-Fi. The bed was soooo comfortable. I honestly cannot think of a single thing I did not like. It was absolutely perfect for our 4 night stay.”
