Map & location


Florence City, Florence, Italy

Designer boutiques and leather shops line the surrounding streets, and the Boboli Gardens and Oltrarno district are an easy walk across the river.

It’s the sort of location where you can pop back to your room between sights – ideal for relaxed, unhurried city breaks.
