Luxury Hotels in Florence
These luxury hotels in Florence has taken luxury to the extreme. Common features of these luxury hotels in Florence are expensive and elaborate décor, spacious rooms, and central locations. Many have antique sculptures and drawings in their cavernous lobbies. Some are on a private hilltop that have spectacular views from the rooms owing to its lofty location. One even has a top floor swimming pool! Even the bathrooms in these hotels are of the finest Italian marble, so spacious it is bigger than most bedrooms in an average home. Most are palazzos or villas that have rich histories and are part of Italy's glorious past. Of course, luxury comes with a price. The lowest room rates in these hotels is € 250,00.
| | The Monna Lisa Hotel is at the center of the city. A favorite of art lovers, this hotel is adorned with antiques, drawings, and sculptures. It also has a private parking and a garden. If you don't mind driving for luxury and a personalized service, Villa Campestri, (picture above) located 35 km. out of Florence, is my favorite villa/hotel. Affordable, luxurious, and has the amenities and view one could possibly want. Find out why this is my favorite. |
