B&B LA LOGGIA, Florence

Set in a 17th-century palazzo on one of Florence's main streets, the hotel is within a 5-minute walk of the Duomo, Santa Maria Novella Station, and key landmarks like Piazza della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio. The building is part of a partly pedestrianized street that connects the station to the cathedral, making car-free exploration easy. Private parking is available on site (€27/day), and the Villa Costanza tram stop is 300 m away for those using the park-and-ride system. The area is packed with restaurants, bars and cafés, including Trattoria La Madia and Ristorante Lorenzo de' Medici within a 5-minute walk.

Rooms are housed in a historic building and feature reproductions of Uffizi paintings. Each room includes air conditioning, a private bathroom with hairdryer and toiletry set, flat-screen satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, a mini-bar, a dressing area, and parquet or tiled floors. The property has been recently renovated and offers family rooms. The historic setting means some rooms may feel more compact than modern hotels, but the equipment is practical for a city-centre stay. The lift serves the upper floors where rooms are located.

The breakfast offering is continental-style with sweet items: freshly baked pastries, cereal, jams and Nutella, all delivered to the room. Wine or champagne can be ordered at an additional charge. The hotel does not have an on-site restaurant, but the location on Via Panzani places it within a few minutes' walk of dozens of dining options, from trattorias to ramen bars. A coffee house is available on site.

The property offers free Wi-Fi in all areas, free daily housekeeping, free luggage storage and free express check-in/check-out. A safety deposit box, lockers, and a shared lounge/TV area are available. The staff can book city tours, museum tickets and restaurant reservations. Private on-site parking costs €27 per day with an electric vehicle charging station. Valet parking and a parking garage are also offered. The building has a lift, non-smoking rooms, and a 24-hour security system with CCTV and key access. An ATM/cash machine is located on site, and a fax/photocopying service is available free of charge.
