Florence Guide: Overview, Hotels & Travel Writing

About Florence

Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and the masterpieces of Gli Uffizi, Michelangelo’s David and the iconic Duomo are all must-sees for culture-vulture or art aficionado. High fashion labels have many of their frocks, shoes and accessories hand-made here so the shopping is also exceptional.

To complete the picture, Florence also sports some of Italy’s best boutique and luxury hotels. Casa Howard and JK Place are the best boutique hotels for those who prefer somewhere intimate and funky, the Lungarno hotels are a favourite with fashionistas and the Hotel Savoy is the perfect luxury hotel for visiting grandees.
