Booking a hotel in Florence is not for the faint-hearted. At the time of writing our partner, booking.com, lists 295 hotels in and around Florence, all hoping to do business with you. But how can you possibly find the right hotel in Florence? Well, we did some research and found the Hotel Cavour. It's located strategically in the historical heart of Florence, just minutes away from all the big attractions, like The Uffizi Gallery, The Duomo, and Ponte Vecchio. We had a smaller room at the side of the hotel, so there was very little street noise; rooms facing the main street may be noisier, though. Another great feature of the hotel is its rooftop terrace with stunning views over the city. At 105 rooms, the hotel is quite big, but we never experienced the size of the house as a problem.

The Zanzig.com Rating: **** (very good)   What does that mean?
