Driving Directions

Getting there.
The airport is a short taxi ride from town, costing 13-16 EUR. Alternatively, a bus service runs half-hourly to Santa Maria Novella Station, in the centre of Florence.


Driving directions. From the airport, take the A11 until reaching Firenza Nord and then follow the A1 to Firenze Sud. At the end of the junction, turn left at the traffic lights, heading towards the town centre. Follow the main road alongside the river for approximately 1.5 kilometres until reaching the hotel. Although the airport is close to Florence, traffic can be bad in the city, so guests are advised to allow 20 minutes for the journey.
