Where to stay
Hotels we like
We recommend staying in Florence. There's no need to book any particular hotel — the villa is close to the centre of town, so staying in the city works just as well as staying nearby.
Tap a price range to see the hotels. Tiers are approximate and based on each hotel's class and typical starting rates. June is high season in Florence, so expect rates to run higher than usual.
