This hotel is a 2 minute walk from the Duomo and 5 minutes from the best piece of art in the world - Michelangelo's David. The hosts speak fluent English and very friendly and helpful. Ask for restaurant tips - they were spot on with every one they suggested. Breakfast is good for a Continental breakfast, and the pastries are fresh as you can get. Our room was spacious, and from our balcony we had a view of the Duomo.
I will most certainly stay here again!

I visited Florence for a week in late November/early December. I was greeted at the Hotel Europa with a smile and a desire to please. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. My room had an autumn view of a courtyard overtopped by the Duomo and the Campanile. It was lovely. The hotel is centrally located, just minutes away by foot from the major museums and churches and a large selection of restaurants and markets. The room and bathroom were immaculate. I hope to return to Florence and when I do I will look forward to staying at the Hotel Europa.

This hotel has a great, friendly staff and was very well priced given its location - just a couple blocks from the Duomo and a 10 minute walk from the train station. The breakfast that is included in the price is a very good spread for a hotel Italy, which usually have smaller breakfasts... we went in the off-season so there weren't many mosquitoes out, but we noticed that the room also had an air conditioner had we needed to keep the windows closed due to either bugs or the heat.

I stayed at Europa in May with my mom, sister, neice and daughter - we had an excellent stay! I also stayed in 2008 with my husband. My daughter and I were lucky enough to be able to return in October for some shopping and spent 4 nights at Europa. It is a perfect base for everything in Florence - walking distance to the sights, restaurants, and shops and close to the train station. The breakfast is not fancy, but satisfying and the owners could not be nicer!! Perfect cappucinos every morning!!! We feel like we are coming home when we arrive and nothing is too much trouble for Miriam and Robert. Mama is sweet and always busy and smiling!! We had a beautiful room with a view and enjoyed the nice hot steamy shower. The building is old and has history - I love staying in historical buildings - the thick walls bring quiet nights and coolness from the heat of the day. We took their reccomedations from Miriam for Za Zas restaurant and have had some of the best meals of our trips there. I am watching a blizzard out my window right now and would give anything to be back in Florence!! See you soon!
