HOTEL CIMABUE, Florence

The hotel occupies a peaceful side street in a 19th-century building. The Accademia Gallery and S. Marco Museum are a 5-minute walk; the Duomo, Giotto's Bell Tower, and Brunelleschi's Dome are 15 minutes away. Santa Maria Novella Train Station is 2 km (20 minutes on foot) or 2 stops on the T2 tram line (tram stop 5-minute walk). Florence University is 2 minutes away. For drivers, paid public parking (€18/day) is available at nearby garages, but the hotel sits within a ZTL zone, so advance parking arrangements are recommended.

Room categories include Double Economy (French bed - 1.5 width, no breakfast option), Double Classic, Triple, and Quadruple (ideal for families). All rooms have a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, safe, heating, air conditioning, and free WiFi. Liberty Superior rooms include an electric kettle. Soundproofed walls are standard, but the historic single-pane windows let in street noise; rooms facing the street are louder, while interior rooms are quieter. Some rooms have high ceilings (4 meters) and frescoed ceilings. Bathroom sizes vary - some are modern and spacious, others compact with limited shelving. No rooms have a balcony. Guests can request a quiet room subject to availability.

Breakfast is offered at the adjacent restaurant (Ribeo) and includes coffee, bread, croissants, ham, cheese, salame, tomatoes, cereals, biscuits, cake, jam, chocolate, and fruit.
