Just a stone’s throw away, merely two minutes from the hotel’s entrance, stands the magnificent 15th-century Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. Its striking black and white facade dominates the square, a testament to centuries of artistic and architectural prowess. A leisurely five-minute walk will bring you to the awe-inspiring Cathedral and Duomo, iconic symbols of Florence’s cultural heritage.

The Hotel Santa Maria Novella itself is a unique and charming establishment, comprised of rooms thoughtfully distributed across three interconnected townhouses. The interior design embraces a traditional aesthetic, characterized by opulent color palettes, luxurious, plush curtains, and carefully selected vintage furniture. This creates a distinct sense of stepping into an elegant, old-world residence, a haven of comfort and style.
The bathrooms within the hotel are a particular highlight, featuring a striking two-toned, all-marble design that elegantly evokes the Basilica’s architectural style. These grand bathrooms are equipped with luxurious marble tubs, providing a relaxing and indulgent experience. Guests are further pampered with customized products from the historic Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy, a true Florentine institution dating back to the 13th century and recognized as the oldest pharmacy in the world.
For an added touch of romance and historical charm, consider reserving one of the hotel’s rooms that offer captivating views of the bustling Piazza. These rooms provide a unique perspective on the city’s vibrant energy and storied past. Understanding the needs of families and larger groups, the hotel also offers a range of accommodating options, including interconnecting rooms, spacious triples, and well-appointed apartments.
Beyond its luxurious accommodations, the Hotel Santa Maria Novella boasts a selection of exceptional facilities. Guests can maintain their fitness routine in the hotel’s well-equipped gym, uniquely situated within a room featuring a remarkably old stone arch. For relaxation and rejuvenation, a sauna is also available. A truly unique feature is the one-of-a-kind WiFi point, cleverly incorporated within the preserved ruins of an Ancient Roman tub, blending the ancient and modern worlds. While the hotel does not feature a full restaurant, guests can enjoy refreshing beverages at the bar or unwind by the cozy fireplace in one of the inviting and pleasant sitting rooms, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.

With unparalleled culture, art, architecture, food, and wine, Italy offers the quintessential European vacation. For travelers who haven’t yet made it to Italy, it’s time to see what la dolce vita is all about. And for those that have it's time to say "ancora"!
When is the best time to visit?
Italy is incredible year round, but since it is an internationally iconic place to visit, expect crowds at the premier tourist destinations from spring through fall, and during holidays when people are more likely to travel. If you have the flexibility, try and visit during the less crowded winter and early shoulder seasons.
Where should I go in Italy?
Rome, Florence, and Venice belong on every traveler’s bucket list. Visitors with a little more time should also see the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Naples, Milan, the Cinque Terre, Sicily—the list of places to visit in Italy has no end.
How many days do I need?
A week is barely enough to hit the main attractions in Italy, but it is doable. Stay for up to a month or more to truly savor the whole experience as well as the food and wine. And no matter how long you stay, you'll surely want to return for your next visit.
Getting around Italy
Trains are a great option for trips between Italy's cities, such as Florence to Rome and Milan to Venice. Driving is not always straightforward, but still a great choice if you feel comfortable taking the wheel along Italy's Autostrada and curvy roads. Other options include domestic flights and ferries.
