OUR COMMENT

Escape the everyday and embrace ‘La Dolce Vita’ at this chic yet homely city-base on the banks of the Arno.

Within moments of the Basilica and sunny Piazza di Santa Croce and an easy stroll to Brunelleschi’s iconic Duomo, Palazzo and Ponte Vecchio, and the enormous, statue-filled Piazza della Signoria.

A quick hop across the Arno to the artisans and art galleries of the Oltrano, for spectacular city views from Piazzale Michelangelo, and for a visit to the many treasures of the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens.

Cafes, restaurants and markets are dotted along the city’s streets, while a local Conad supermarket on Corso dei Tintori satisfies your self-catering needs, and a nearby car park provides parking if arriving on four wheels.

Do get in touch if you require details of transfers between Venice and Florence, or if you have any other queries - we’ll be delighted to help

And to close with a quote from Mark Twain on Florence –

“This is the fairest picture on our planet, the most enchanting to look upon, the most satisfying to the eye and the spirit. To see the sun sink down, drowned on his pink and purple and golden floods, and overwhelm Florence with tides of color that make all the sharp lines dim and faint and turn the solid city to a city of dreams, is a sight to stir the coldest nature, and make a sympathetic one drunk with ecstasy.”
