Lodgings near Florence

Accommodation near Florence, Italy

Since Renaissance times, the inhabitants of Florence have sought tranquility and cool breezes during summer by staying in Tuscan villas and on farms in the surrounding Tuscan hills. This is still an excellent strategy, not just for Florentines but also for summer visitors to this beautiful city. You can find a fully-equipped self-catering vacation apartment within 20 minutes drive of Florence for less money than a modest hotel within Florence would cost. In addition, a swimming pool is often included. Enjoy country life while still being able to make daily excursions to visit the art treasures of Florence.

If you prefer not to take a car into Florence, there are numerous bus routes that transport you to the city centre. Cars usually cannot enter the inner city without a permit.
