Accommodation in Florence

Florence is not a cheap place to stay, but the general standard of accommodation is higher than in some Italian cities. Tourist hotels in Florence know their stuff; they are used to demanding guests from countries like the US. As well as comfortable hotels, Florence also has a range of B&Bs, offering more basic bed and breakfast accommodation to travellers on a budget. We have selected a few recommended hotels, and a B&B, which are featured below.

Hotel Caravaggio is a smart and friendly three-star hotel with excellent reviews from past guests.

Hotel Aldini **

The two-star Hotel Aldini is in an ideal location for busy tourists who want to be at the heart of things. Literally yards from the Duomo, the hotel is a small and practical base for sightseeing. We stayed here a couple of years ago, and had a comfortable stay in a room with a view (if you leaned out of the window a bit) of the Campanile. With all-important air-conditioning.
