Why we love it
The setting
Tucked on a quiet lane between Piazza della Repubblica and the Duomo, The Brunelleschi Hotel puts the centre of Florence a short walk away in every direction. Part of it dates back further than you'd guess - a sixth-century Byzantine tower, one of the oldest things still standing in the city. Inside, restored stone and brick sit alongside modern rooms, and a small private museum in the basement displays Roman foundations found during the restoration.
What to expect
This three-night stay is built around a Classic Executive Double room with a full double bed and a private bathroom, sized at about 18 square metres. The rate covers the room only, so you can add breakfast when you book if you want it. Several rooms look out over the rooftops or the lane below, and the hotel keeps a restaurant under the brick arches downstairs along with a rooftop terrace that faces the Duomo.
Things to do nearby
Almost everything you would want to see in Florence is within a few minutes on foot. Giotto's Campanile is about 110 metres away and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is roughly 160 metres from the door. Piazza della Repubblica, with its cafes and shops, is around 156 metres off, and the Bargello Museum and its sculpture collection is about 185 metres away. The Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio are a slightly longer stroll south towards the river.
Best for
This suits couples who want to be a short walk from the Duomo and the main museums without giving up a quiet room at night. It works well for a long weekend focused on art, food and walking.
