Michelangelo Guesthouse Firenze

The ideal choice for those travelers keen to visit the historic center of Florence but unwilling to pay an arm and a leg for the privilege, Guest House Michelangelo offers affordable accommodation, and a great location, in the city's San Niccolò district, a mere ten minute walk away from the Ponte Vecchio, the Cathedral and the Uffizi Gallery.

Equipped with hypoallergenic pillows and mattresses, free wireless internet connection, and a small terrace, Guest House Michelangelo's generously sized bedrooms have been designed to offer maximum comfort and the latest in modern technology.

The owners of the guesthouse, Niccolò and Guendalina, are adamant that, during their stay in the Tuscan capital, their guests should experience the city, not as tourists, but as true Florentines and, to help them do just that, have created a pocket sized insider-guide, listing the local restaurants and the shops which they themselves regularly patronize. The couple also organize a range of out-of-town activities such as Wine Tours to the vineyards of Chianti and entertaining Tuscan cooking courses.

Close to the Guest House there is a spa, tennis club and the Giardino di Carraia: a historic city park with children's playground. Those traveling by car can leave their vehicle in the free car park right next to the property, from where all the major monuments of the historic center of Florence are just a short walk of bus ride away.
