3 Tips for Choosing the Most Exciting Hotel in Florence!

Do you have a trip to Italy in mind? Have you purchased a guide, art books, or perhaps just studied the sights and works of art that await you as you walk through the "Bel Paese"? We are aware that the journey began long before you boarded the aircraft carrying two sets of sunglasses and a camera around your neck. And the journey officially begins when you decide to purchase a ticket and make hotel reservations. So, where are you going? Are you a "artistic sensitive person" who wants to pass out in front of the "Pieta di Michelangelo" or lose it in Saint Peter's "colonnato"?

Or perhaps you're the type of person who, fueled by a decent wine of course, starts every day with a massive Italian-style breakfast and eats four to five times during the day while indulging in as much pizza and pasta as you can stand.

Florence must be your final stop if you are both of them. Permit me to offer you a few suggestions for your trip to Tuscany. You'll discover that you wouldn't be sorry. Never, ever order bread, first of all. Who knows why their traditional bread completely lacks salt... okay, just kidding, but if you have the time to listen to it, it's a pretty intriguing story.

The two cities of Florence and Pisa were formerly bitter rivals throughout the Middle Ages. A legend claims that Pisa attempted to get Florence to submit by obstructing its regular salt replenishment that came to the harbour. Because of this, Tuscan bread is often described as being unsalted. According to a different tradition, salt was a luxury product that residents in Florence during the Middle Ages couldn't afford to own because of the city's extreme poverty. The Florentines choose not to use it when baking bread because of this.

There may not be a foolproof method to selecting the best lodging in Tuscany; it all depends on your travel preferences and lifestyle. However, here is some guidance on choosing the best hotel in Florence, taken very carefully.

1) The city centre is preferable than remote areas

The historical city centre is where everything is located, from the Gli Uffizi to Santa Maria in Fiore, therefore you should go there as well. You will undoubtedly spend more money, but it will be worthwhile.

Mostly because you won't waste time on travelling, but also because you'll be surrounded by beauty all day, and you might even get to participate in and experience the nightlife of Tuscany's largest city. Now, keep in mind that if you dislike loud nightlife, the city centre might not be the best place for you to stay the night. Despite this, there are a number of hotels in Florence's centre that are also incredibly peaceful and comfortable.

2) Reserve your accommodations in advance.

Please keep this in mind. If you plan a trip at the last minute, it could come as a terrible shock to learn that all available lodging has been booked. Florence experiences a "siege" of tourists from all over the world from April to October. It is better to reserve a hotel in the city's core at least a month in advance than to squat on a bridge!

3) Pick a historical location for your hotel stay in Florence

Yes, this sounds more like a statement of fact than counsel. You should choose a historical hotel if you wish to experience Florence firsthand and capture its true spirit. I promise you won't regret it. You undoubtedly want your trip to be remembered for the places you saw as well as the food, of course!

Now all you have to do is select the greatest historic city centre hotel and reserve your room in Florence!
