Finding an ideal accommodation in Florence is not a difficult task: the city is very small and there are many beautiful areas showing personal benefits...let's see some of the most beautiful locations, so you can choose the one that fits your taste!

Florence hotels near Duomo

This is the ancient centre of Florence. Piazza del Duomo is the religious heart of Florence (as opposed to the spiritual side represented by Piazza della Signoria). The Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore is almost certainly the most known architectural masterpiece in Florence and was realized by Filippo Brunelleschi. The Bell Tower made by Giotto is dressed in attractive red, white and green marbles.

Benefits - if your looking for museums and monuments and don't care for busy streets and noises, this is simply the best location in Florence.

Accommodation near Santa Maria Novella station

Santa Maria Novella Station (Firenze SMN) is the main train station in Florence, right in the city centre. The complex was designed in the early 1930's to resemble the shape of Fascio Littorio, the symbol of Mussolini's Fascism. Florence station is one of the key works of Italian Rationalism movement: the modern building merges with the classic look given by the pietra forte on the stone facade.

Advantages - this location is easily attainable with every means of transport, and you can always take a train to visit Florence surrounding areas (like Chianti or Maremma).

Accommodation near the Arno river

The Arno river, originating on Mount Falterona in the Apennines, crosses Florence, where it passes historical bridges as the Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge in Florence to survive to World War II, now staging the famous artisan goldsmiths workshops. The Arno river flooded this city in historical times, the last occasion being the famous flood of 1966.

Advantages - You're in a quiet location that offers some of the most romantic views of the ancient part of Florence.

Florence hotels near Fiesole

On a hill overlooking Florence, Fiesole is a small ancient Etruscan village, as may be recognized from the remains of its ancient walls, probably founded in the IX century B.C. Here you can visit a beautiful Roman amphitheatre and unique Etruscan ruins, other than enjoy the most amazing view of Florence in the valley below.

Benefits - No busy streets, no more noises; just enchanting panoramas and beautiful parks.
