While the prices of hotels in Florence have increased over the past three years for visitors who pay in dollars, the number of agriturismi, country Bed & Breakfast rooms and other rural vacation accommodations has increased and the prices have consequently gone down. One should therefore seriously consider staying outside Florence during a vacation in Italy, not only to economise but also to enjoy cooler temperatures, a garden and very often a pool.
Since Renaissance times, the inhabitants of Florence have sought tranquility and cool breezes during summer by staying in villas and on farms in the surrounding Tuscan hills. This is still an excellent strategy, not just for Florentines but also for summer visitors to this beautiful city. You can find a fully-equipped self-catering vacation apartment within 20 minutes drive of Florence for less money than a modest hotel within Florence would cost. In addition, a swimming pool is often included. Enjoy country life while still being able to make daily excursions to visit the art treasures of Florence.
If you prefer not to take a car into Florence, there are numerous bus and train routes that transport you to the city centre. Cars usually cannot enter the inner city without a permit.
All bookings and enquiries go directly to the property owners. There are no price markups on this web site. |
