Directions |
The airport is a short taxi ride from town, although it is also possible to take the half hourly bus, which transports passengers to Santa Maria Novella Station in the centre of Florence.
The hotel is located within one kilometre from the city's major attractions; walking is advised as public transportation is unreliable, and taxis are scarce.
From the airport, follow the signs for the city centre until the Arno River, from here, follow the signs for Ponte Vecchio. Continue down Lungarno Vespucci until you arrive at Piazza Ognissanti.
