Florence offers 35,000 hotel beds and 23,000 other lodging choices. Invest a little thought and effort now, and then book the accommodations that will enhance your entire experience of Florence!
Choose accommodations that are a fit for you and your family or friends!
Are you a “heart-of-the-action” kind of traveler? Or do you much prefer peace and quiet? Are you traveling by yourself, or with others? Will there be children in your party? Florence provides numerous lodging choices that will completely satisfy your needs. Whatever you wish, it is available - from luxurious 5-star, full-service hotels to simple, inexpensive retreats. You can ask your travel agent to recommend the accommodations that are just right for you, or type your query into Google or another search engine to easily find and book your lodging online.
· Hotels: A hotel may be your best option if you prefer to stay in high-quality lodging that offers a wealth of services.
· Bed & Breakfasts: In Florence there are many B & B’s, some them located in the owner’s home. Often more economical than hotels, Bed & Breakfast lodging offers more of an opportunity to converse with owners and with other guests. In some cases you can book not only a room but a private bathroom as well.
· Hostels: These small, often family-run hotels are the least expensive solution for accommodations. If complete privacy is not necessary, you can stretch your budget by booking a shared room with a shared bathroom.
· Apartments: There is a Florence apartment that’s just right for your budget, needs, and tastes whether you are traveling with your family, with a group, or solo. An apartment offers more available space than you will find in a hotel, bed and breakfast, or hostel, as well as the opportunity to do your own cooking. You’ll have the freedom to come and go as you please without constantly encountering owners, staff, and service people. If your family or group includes several people, you can cut expenses by booking only one apartment, rather than several hotel rooms!
In order to make the most of your visit to the last preserved Renaissance city in the world, choose lodging in the heart of the area you want to explore! Then you can enjoy creating your own walking tours - on your own schedule - to the various nearby museums, cathedrals, art galleries, parks, piazzas, and other attractions that are calling to you. Do a bit of research now, online or with a travel agency, and you will be delighted not only with Florence, but with your choice of accommodations!
