My husband and I are going to be in Italy in May for a week or so since he has a conference and I refused to be left home again (though I can't complain, since we travel a lot). It's our first time away with no children, and I am very excited!

We are only in Florence for a couple of days, before we go to the conference location (Prato). I would be endlessly thankful if one of you could suggest a nice bed and breakfast or small hotel in Florence which will not cost an arm and a leg and is fairly well-located. I don't need fancy, just clean and nice.
Grazie! ▲ Collapse

One idea Sep 20, 2008

Take earplugs Sep 21, 2008

Back in June 2004 we spent some days in Hotel Enza. More cheep hotels you find here:

But anywhere in the center of Florence the mornings are noisy. After 4'o clock the shops raise their iron blinds and lower them again for deliveries. And we had moskitos all over the place.
So I would recommend to search for a high-rise building, less romantic, more comfortable.

Cheers

Thanks everyone! Sep 21, 2008

I'm checking out the sites you sent, which look great, and I'll see about availability, etc.
Paola- thanks for the very generous offer. I'll for sure contact you before we go.
If anyone has "off the beaten" track suggestions- I'd love them...
Have a good Sunday everyone:).

Off the beaten track Sep 22, 2008

Not the very center of Florence. Like in Venice, there are still streets were tourists don't go. And they are so beautiful
I'll let you know.
Ciao,
Paola

Hey Juliana, Not sure if this comes too late but I have a couple of friends who run a sort of BB near florence. Let me know if you could be interested ;D

Hi Francesca Sep 27, 2008

We are not going until May, so any suggestions are still more than welcome! Is there a website for your friends' place?

Thanks!
