Firenze is definitively my favourite city in Italy, amongst the 3 major tourist attractions, Venice, Rome and Florence. Spring and early autumns are to me, the best periods to visit it, while I would discourage going there in the middle of summer, when the city is very hot (and can be nearly suffocating when it gets really scorching in August) and the majority of people there are tourists. There is no need here to describe the monuments in the city, I would give you a couple of places to stay, instead. You can try Campeggio Panoramico, which is not in Florence, but in Fiesole, not far from the City. They rent bungalows there. It may be a good idea to book in advance, their tel is 599069. For less than £30 for a double per night, you can stay at “Hotel La Romagnola”, not far from Santa Maria Novella. Rooms are clean and decent. Their tel number is 211597.
