Nearby you’ll find everyday cafés, shops and supermarkets, handy for snacks or a low-key evening after a full day’s sightseeing.

Starhotels Tuscany is set in the Novoli district rather than the medieval core. It’s about 2.9km from Santa Maria Novella and around 3–4km from major sights like the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and Santa Croce, but a tram stop just 110m away makes getting into the centre quick and straightforward.

Yes. The hotel offers Family Connecting rooms sleeping up to four guests, and children up to 12 years are typically classed as children for pricing.
