Recommendation for a nice B&B or apartment in / near Firenze

05/20/2010 - 13:27

We're off back to the UK for a visit by car and we'd like to stay in or near the city. Although I'm happy to do the usual searches on-line it would be helpful to have any ideas from Forum members.  Especially for a British owned business as we are still doing our own research and this might be an opportunity to pick a brain or two.

Hi Tartuffa This isn't British-owned but I stayed ages ago at the Hotel Aprile in Florence (family- run, I think and it has a nice little courtyard which makes you forget you are in the centre of town) and friends stayed two years ago and thought it was great. But check the prices as my memory is that it was refurbished and the price went up a lot. Buon viaggio P    

Thanks to Pacentro for the tip.  In the end it was outside of our budget but did look beautiful!  Of course we just ended up doing the usual searches on various sites and picked something that fit the bill-ish.  It would appear that we got the last room in a 4* at a knock down rate so fingers crossed...What ever did we do before 'tinterweb? In case someone drags this thread back up at a later stage this is where we are staying:http://www.hotelexecutiveflorence.com/
