Residenza Giotto B & B
Via Roma, 6
50123 Firenze
Residenza Giotto B&B is in the heart of the Historical
Center, a few steps from the most important monuments and museums of the city.Our B&B
is on the top floor of an old 1800's building with elevator, on the corner of Piazza San
Giovanni where the Duomo of Florence, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery are; and the
very central Via Roma famous for its prestigious designer shops.
With us you will find an elegant and friendly environment to make you feel at home.
Residenza Giotto is also a very comfortable solution even for those who are in Florence
for business. The station Firenze Santa Maria Novella, the Congress center and the
exhibition center at the Fortezza da Basso which hosts many prestigious fairs, are in fact
very close to us. All our rooms have a truly unique view of the center of Florence and
from our terrace you can admire Giotto's bell tower which is so close you feel you could
almost touch it.
By staying at Residenza Giotto you will find yourselves in the heart of the historic
center of Florence. During the day you can stroll the city streets letting yourselves be
caught up in the atmosphere full of history and culture. You will find narrow side streets
that open onto the beautiful squares like Santa Croce with its famous Church, housing
tombs of many distinguished people; Piazza del Duomo with the Santa Maria del Fiore
Cathedral, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery; Piazza della Signoria with the Old
Palace (now the town hall), the fountain renamed "Biancone" by locals and the
lovely Lanzi Loggia with its beautiful statues. Crossing the Arno river on the Old Bridge,
renowned for it's gold and jewellry shops, you come to the Pitti Palace and closeby the
old residential area of San Frediano well known for both its traditional and new artisan
workshops.
If instead the weather is not conducive to strolling outside, you can visit the museums
and galleries which house some of the most important artistic masterpieces of the world.
For example the Uffizi gallery or the Accademy gallery as well as many other museums and
palaces with shows and exhibitions by big international artists both from the past and the
present.
And then when you have had enough culture you can be distracted by a little shopping in
streets like Via Roma, Via Tornabuoni, Via Calzaiuoli and Via della Vigna Nuova, where you
will find the most important of the Italian fashion designer names.
On your return home to the Residenza you can comfortably relax in your room, or on the
terrace admiring the view of the Cathedral perhaps sipping a glass of wine or simply a cup
of tea or cappuccino. In the evening you will be embarrassed by the choice of places to
dine, from the many typical "trattorie", local wine bars which serve meals, or
even a restaurant with international cuisine.
