Advantages: Clean, reasonably priced Disadvantages: Bus ride to central Florence
...Right off the motorway this hotel is easy to find and convient if you are travelling around. It is not in the centre of Florence but they do provide a free shuttle bus for the journey which takes between 10 and 15 mins depending on trafic.
The hotel is clean and tidy. There is a small gift shop and resturant, where the food was nice but over priced and expensive for Italy.
The rooms were clean and a resonably good size, although they look straight on to the motorway or car park.
Reception staff were polite and helpful.
This hotel seems to cater more towards the business traveller than for tourists. While we were staying there was a large conference going on.
Overall good value for a quick stop off but not ideal for a sightseeing trip to Florence....

Advantages: It doesn't get any prettier Disadvantages: may be too perfect (I'm a bit too fussy, I think!).
..., but I do!
The Piazza della Signorina houses the great Palazzo Vecchio. This is the administrative and political heart of Florence and was through centuries past. It is a throbbing and vibrant heart which pulses as you stand and look around. There are some wonderful ice cream shops here, but the prices rise close to this piazza.
The Ponte Vecchio is crammed with tourists and jewellers, but if you cross it, head up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. It's a long climb up, but the view is definitely worth it, and there's an ice cream van at the top!
Also on this side, is the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens. The home of the Medicis, and a very grand home too. The Gardens are beautiful, complete with woods, small grottoes and a tea shop. Within the Palace there is another art gallery of the Medici possessions as it was where they were based...

Mine and my sisters room was quite small but it was nice. Where as my mum...
