Galileo in Florence ★★★  

The Galileo hotel is located in heart of Florence, in the San Lorenzo area, just a few hundred meters from the central railway station, and minutes from many of the city's most important historic and artistic sights. Florence's treasures include the Medici Chapel and the San Lorenzo Basilica, consacrated in 393 and reconstructed during the first half of the fifteenth-century by Brunelleschi, the magnificent Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore, with its impressive dome designed by Brunelleschi and frescoed by Vasari, and the splendid Piazza della Signoria, which hosts the most famous museum in the world, the Uffizi Gallery. The property, housed in an elegant nineteenth-century building, features a welcoming and friendly environment, furnished in the best Tuscan-style tradition, comfortable and spacious guestrooms, a comfortable lounge and cosy 24-hour bar as well as free Internet access for its guests in the hotel lobby.
