RELAIS LAVAGNINI FLORENCE, Florence

The hotel is set in a peaceful neighbourhood, about a 20-minute walk from the historic centre and the Santa Maria Novella Train Station. The tram stop located just outside provides a quick link to the city centre, the train station, and Florence Airport. Major landmarks such as the Fortezza da Basso congress centre are a 10-minute walk, while San Lorenzo Market and Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral are roughly 1 km and 2 km away respectively. The area is outside the ZTL (limited traffic zone), making it practical for those arriving by car to find paid parking nearby.
