The location was excellent, everything was 5 minutes away, shopping, piazzas, Church and both the museums Uffizi & Academia. Breakfast was good but, we ended up having breakfast 2 days at the cafe round the corner which was brilliant. The staff is extremely helpful from the Bellboy to Front Desk. Special thanks to the Bar-Tender in the new wing, for some excellent cocktails and service.

Uffizi Gallery
What makes Florence the epicentre of art? All of it; but specifically the Uffizi Gallery. Its collections cover the ages, but its darlings will always be Renaissance born. You won’t find a better Art History 101 refresher. Hours wilt away inside this U-shaped mansion. The Birth of Venus tops many a best-of list. Better book tickets in advance – the masterworks cause quite a queue.

Get tickets for 8:15 AM, go with nothing but your camera and don't check your coat. Head directly to the Botticellis, and then to the Da Vinci's, Raphaels and the Michelangelo to enjoy them without the crowd, and then double back for the Gothic paintings. Do NOT make the mistake of pausing to view sculptures on the entrance level. Do NOT get distracted by the Gothic masters. Speed walk to the Botticellis and then the Ninja Turtles or you'll be viewing them across crowds jostling for selfies.

Packed with stunning art work including “Spring” and “The birth of Venus” by Botticelli. We looked at most of the works and spent 3 1/2 hours there. The queues were long, I’d advise prebooking your tickets.

1. DEFINITELY get "skip the line" tickets. 2.
1. DEFINITELY get "skip the line" tickets. 2. Don't forget that you still have to wait in line to exchange the "skip the line" tickets for the admission tickets. 3. Don't forget you then have to wait in line with all the other "skip the line" ticket holders to actually get in. Plan accordingly and enjoy the FABULOUS art!

My second time going: make the reservation, folks!! You want to get in early and take your time. I wish I knew more about the ceilings and walls of the actual building. I must, must, must see for anyone slightly interested in art. I can't wait to return again!

Book tickets in advance, or you will end up waiting on line for an hour or more. Also, do some research before coming here. It's a big museum and you can get overwhelmed if you spend a long time looking at everything. Instead, you want to make sure you see the highlights: Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Laocoon statue, Titian's Medussa, the Da Vinci section, and a few other major, major works of art that you know you'd feel bad if you missed. To me, the remainder of the works are a bit of a bonus--I stopped to look at the ones that especially called to me (there were a lot; I was here for 4 hours), but decided I didn't have to feel guilty about walking past if others didn't pique my interest.
Oh, and please note that David is NOT in this gallery. David is at the Academia down the street. I saw some people make that mistake.

This studio is located in Piazza San Marco, close to the main attractions of Florence (Palazzo Vecchio, Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, etc). The location is very good, but one has to consider that Florence is a small city, so most attractions are close by. The manager Alessio was very nice and responded to my messages very quickly.
5 Stars for AT Home Santacroce. Fantastic location, outside your door it’s a short walk to great cafes, piazzas and the river. It’s about a 7-min walk to the Uffizi Gallery and importantly (in the summer heat) a good supermarket just around the corner too. Apartment was lovely, and Valentina as host, super-helpful. Can’t fault it - we’ll be back!
The location was excellent. About 50 metres from the Ponte Vecchio and around the corner from the Uffizi Gallery. The staff were very welcoming, and helpful. Rooms are on the third floor of the building and there is a lift.

The city center is in itself an open air museum containing architectural and sculptural masterpieces. The Uffizi is a treasure but make sure to book in advance to skip lines and do get yourself a good guide (live or audio).

Spend the day wandering around the Uffizi and the Duomo (for a more enriching experience join a tour or two especially to gain access to exclusive areas, rent an audioguide or download a walking tour audioguide on your phone), have a coffee in Piazza Republica in the evening, followed by dinner at a trattoria nearby, then walk around to Ponte Vecchio to enjoy a live performance
