Florence
Florence is a wonderful city in the Tuscany region of Italy. Florence, Italy is located adjacent to the river Arno and as such is a bustling town with a long history that in part heavily relied on the commerce that used to come from the waterway. A map of Florence will quickly reveal a recurring name: Medici. This famous – and by all accounts also infamous – family used to rule the city of Florence with an iron thumb yet at the same time they are credited with advancing the arts, architecture, and overall look and feel of the city simply by heavily supporting the craftsmen who would work these changes. Florence is home to the works of Donatello and Michelangelo, a large number of historic buildings and bridges, and breathtaking cathedrals. As such, Florence is a must on any Italy itinerary, and many tourists make every effort to incorporate the beauty of Florence into their travel plans. When you visit the city, Florence hotels are yours for the booking. You have the choice of the sleek and modern ones where glass and steel are the decorations of choice, or you may choose a Florence hotel which is purposely decorated in the rich wooden colors of antique cherry wood. |

No matter which kind of Florence accommodation you may choose, in Florence, hotel reservations are always recommended. Even though many hotels in Florence will have an extra room here or there, keep in mind that the competition for these extra rooms is fierce, especially during tourist season. Additionally, that spare hotel room in Florence may be more the size of a glorified broom closet with the bathroom down the hall and up the stairs – which is why nobody booked it in favor for the more modern accommodations.
Of course, rooms in Florence are not just available in hotels but there are also Florence apartments that are being rented out by private parties for a few extra euros. For the hopeless romantic, a bed and breakfast in Florence is the answer to all questions, but if you are looking for Florence holiday accommodations – either to celebrate the special days with friends, or simply to participate in the Florence museums tour held during that time – you will need to plan a long way in advance. Not even the broom closet is available during that time of year and you may find yourself sleeping in your car if you fail to plan. |
