Welcome to LodgingGuide's hospitality industry listings for the Florence area.
Florence is where the Renaissance was born, and still is home to almost half of what are classified as the greatest works of art. Despite the destruction of World War II bombs, the city has fully recovered, and many examples of the most breathtaking architecture in the world still remain after hundreds of years. Enclosed by the vineyards of Chianti, Florence seems forever protected from time’s erosion. Even the streets have remained as narrow as they were in medieval times, shadowed by the city’s dense array of historic buildings. Summers are quite hot and humid, and the number of tourists crowded into the city’s cramped quarters, speaking every language on the planet will detract from your Florentine adventure. The best time to visit Florence is in the fall when you can have more of the town to yourself, the grapes are harvested, the olives are ready for pressing, and you can dine al fresco on the freshest produce and fragrant herbs that characterize the unadorned, natural light cuisine of Tuscany.
