3 distinct buildings fuse present and past for an eclectically arty vibe.

A leisurely ten-min stroll takes ya to the pedestrian-friendly Piazza Santo Stefano.

Near busses, planes, trains and automobiles (right off the A14) for easy all-mode access.

A less than 10-min stroll will get you to the Bologna Museum of Modern Art (MAMbo), which focuses on art from WWII to the present.

Ultra-posh garden space has an adjacent localvore bar. Forget exploring and soak up some leisure time.

19th-century palace set on the ruins of a medieval tower blends traditional Florentine style with mod cons like free WiFi.

We're a massive fan of this hotel – it may or may not have to do with the mid-modern design or the rental electric guitars

Nestled in the hills above Florence with breathtaking views of the city.

Former palazzo turned buzzy gathering space, this place draws people who are up for meeting other people.

This palatial retreat drops ya in the heart of Florence, not far from the Piazza della Libertà.

Steps from the park (views from the restaurant terrace!), and the city’s best shopping streets. Win-win.

Just built, and you can almost still catch a whiff of that new-car smell.

Just a hop, skip and a jump from Santa Maria Novella train station and the cathedral.

Settle down in a comfy chair or snuggle into a sofa. No, it's not your living room, it's Assaggi Wine Bar.

Close to the airport so you can spend time on more important things (like catching some extra z's).
