How far is Florence center?
Our B&B is really close to "Porta San Frediano" (only 300 meters distance), one of the most authentic entrance of the old historic center of Florence. It's a really nice neighbourhood, well known for its shops and its popular cafes, bars, restaurants and pizzerias.
Walking through the historic "Lungarni" that skirt the river Arno, you get to "Palazzo Pitti" in about 15 minutes, with the beautiful "Boboli Garden", and "Ponte Vecchio" or the "Uffizi".
Within walking distance from the B&B, you also find the squares "Piazza del Carmine" and "Piazza Santo Spirito", as well as the theatre "Nuovo Teatro Comunale", the "Stazione Leopolda", the park "Cascine" and the U.S. Consulate.
The building "Fortezza da Basso", where important fairs and exhibitions take place (like the most famous fashion event of the city of Florence, "Pitti Uomo"), is only 1,500 meters away from the B&B.
The main railway station "Santa Maria Novella" is about 15/20 minutes walking or 5 minutes by taxi or public transportation.
