Set next to the Ponte Vecchio, Italy’s most famous bridge seems close enough to touch from Hotel Hermitage, the bed and breakfast with possibly the best views in Florence. Relax with a drink on Hotel Hermitage’s unique roof terrace, which looks directly over the river and some of Florence’s most famous landmarks. Hotel Hermitage's comfortable, antique lounge shares the same unforgettable views, as do many of the beautifully decorated rooms. Superior rooms come with Jacuzzi bath tubs too. With all of Florence’s best sights less than 500 metres away you couldn’t be better placed for exploring Renaissance Florence. The Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery and the Bargello are all just a few minutes’ walk away, not to mention designer shops and jewellery stores. Staff are professional and friendly, able to book you tickets, tours and restaurants, or help you out with car parking.
