I highly recommend this hotel to any tourist or business person who enjoys a friendly family like atmosphere. Our stay for six days was fabulous. The hotel was only minutes from the railway station, and the main sites of Florence. All within walking distance. And room rate was exceptionally good. Breakfast was great with lots to choose from including delicious... more

In a safe, pedestrianised street three minutes from train station and five minutes from the Duomo, the Nuova Italia is the perfect clean, comfortable, simple hotel I'd like to find in every major city. Basic but with decent functional shower rooms ensuite and CNN on television. Good Italian style breakfast and friendly, helpful staff; and a fun, eclectic art collection... more

This hotel is located 5 min. walk from train station, and at most 10 min. to main tourist attractions. You do not see the dark and gloomy atmosphere of most of the budget hotels. It is rather cosy and the staff is friendly. I stayed two nights for a business trip, and the idea was also to see the main... more

12-15 Oct 2009 Next time we would stay at “Nuova Italia” again. Location – not far from railway station, quite easy to find. You can get on foot the most points of interest. Cleanliness – excellent. White bed linen, towels changed every day. Facilities – no elevator, no refrigerator in the room, TV has one English channel (CNN). Wi-Fi Internet.... more

The hotel hosts were excellent, very friendly, didnt have a problem speaking in English, very accomodating for our 9mth old son and supplied a top breakfast (and they made you coffee!). The location of the hotel couldnt' have been better. Right next to the Santa Maria Novella Train station and very close to the Duomo and the centre of the... more

We got off the train and found the hotel right around the corner only a few blocks away. Florence is a very walkable city, you can get everywhere by foot. This was a great place to have as a home base. Everyone that worked there was really friendly and help us with some great advice on everything from restaurants to... more

We stayed at this hotel for the 2nd time this July (the first time being in July 2006) and were just as impressed this time around. It is an excellent value and a gem in Florence! The location is unbeatable - minutes from the central train station and Duomo by foot - and the hotel itself is wonderful. Lovingly cared... more

With the pound to euro exchange rate being so bad this wasn't the cheapest two nights we've ever had, but the Nuova Italia was everything we could ask for. It's location is great being on a pedestrianised street close to the sights and the station; there are restaurants etc. all around. Our room (no. 26) was a triple (we'd booked... more

Can't beat the location. Just minutes from the central train station, everything you need within the immediate area - supermarket, laundromat, restaurants galore, public internet places, etc. Also, all major sites can be easily reached on foot. Very reasonable price with continental breakfast included. Our room was clean and quiet. Staff very hospitable and helpful. The only negative for some... more
