Florence is a city famous for its renaissance art and beautiful buildings, so if you are looking for the perfect holiday destination you need look no further than a hotel Florence to explore this magnificent city set in the stunning Tuscany countryside

Florence is a city for tourists. If you are staying in a Florence hotel in the centre of this historical city, you are perfectly placed to see its sights. Florence has a beauty all its own, which is partly due to its architecture and partly due to the sculptures which you can see on the streets throughout the city. There are many beautiful side streets where the small hotels and wine bars are, as well as larger open areas where you can sit to watch the world go by. Many of the visitors are Italians who appreciate this wonderful city in their own country.

All the usual tourist activities are available here, such as museums, art galleries and of course, shopping. Apart from the usual shopping outlets, there are the quirky shops by the river which fringe the ancient Ponte Vecchio, famous throughout Florence, where you can buy souvenirs and jewellery. You can walk across the River Arno in the warm sunshine from one of the many hotels in the piazzas or even take a trip into the outskirts to look at one of the magnificent panoramic views of Florence.

One of Florence's best activities, that of people watching, is also free or can be obtained for the price of an espresso in one of the many cafe bars and hotels situated in the lovely squares for which Florence is famous. Enjoy a delicious Italian pastry at the same time, or take one back to your hotel to enjoy later.

Don't forget to try the food during your stay at a hotel Florence. The food is based on peasant cuisine, with the addition of some excellent Italian wines such as the famous Chianti in its wicker basket, and can be found in both cafes, hotels and restaurants. The weather in spring and summer is warm enough to dine outside al fresco, adding to your dining experience.

There are many places to stay in Florence which will enhance your whole holiday experience. Many of the hotels in Florence have antique furniture and they pride themselves on their old fashioned hospitality and excellent customer service.
