Check out this link: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/d... Enjoy! (--,) Others try these sights: b&b www.cross-pollinate.com we stayed here, close to train station & the main sites. Owner is very friendly & helpful: http://www.hotelaldobrandini.it/enindex.... for Info: www.fodors.com Great wine tour out of florence: http://www.tuscantrails.com/ I like using the Rick Steves books for travel. I've used them for Italy twice & Ireland once. Experienced traveller. I travel to Europe two to four times a year. Leaving in three days for a month in Tuscany, Florence and Lake Como. You will absolutely love Florence and will be going at the right time of the year. Being this your first trip to Florence, it is best to pay more and stay in the city. I can cut my hotel cost in half by staying 2 to 3 miles outside of the city and taking the train back and forth for 2 euros. This time I am staying in a neat little town called Pontassieve at a B&B for 45 Euro per night that servers you breakfast in bed. It is called Albergo I Villini! One of the best web sites to go to for B&B and hotels is www.venere.com. Venere.com has come a long way in a short time. They were the first to have reviews from other travelers like you and me plus no down payments in most cases, the ability to cancel, and the best prices in comparision to other sites. Other great sites: http://www.kayak.com/ http://www.hostelbookers.com/ http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/... http://www.romaviva.com/home_eng.htm... http://hotels.italy-bookings.com/index.h... http://www.freetravelreport.com/... http://www.italiantourism.com/ Have a fantastic time and hope this information helped! I am agree with rpstockt..... I was last summer and I really loved this city. i went to florence last may for the first time and loved it. i stayed here: http://www.sleepinginflorence.com/... (casini apartment). EXCELLENT location, very nice place. i would DEFINITELY recommend any one of these apartments. i also went back in december and stayed here: http://www.firenzeloft.com/eng/index.htm... . it was a nice, modern place, but kind of out of the way. |
