The Plaza Hotel Lucchesi, steeped in history and tradition, first welcomed guests in the vibrant city of Florence back in 1860. Throughout the years, the hotel has undergone meticulous renovations, carefully preserving its original essence and character. Today, it continues to offer an authentic Florentine experience that transports visitors to a bygone era while providing modern comforts and amenities. Its incredibly central location is a major draw, positioning you a mere five-minute stroll from the breathtaking Basilica of Santa Croce and only eight minutes away from the imposing Palazzo Vecchio. Furthermore, guests find themselves within easy walking distance of other globally recognized and iconic attractions, such as the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery and the bustling Piazza della Signoria, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.
The hotel boasts a selection of beautifully appointed rooms and luxurious suites, each meticulously furnished in a contemporary style that gracefully complements the classical elements and architectural details of the historic Plaza Lucchesi.

The Deluxe room options are particularly appealing, featuring large panoramic windows and generously sized balconies that offer breathtaking views overlooking the gently flowing River Arno and the picturesque San Miniato al Monte, or alternatively, the majestic Church of Santa Croce. The thoughtfully designed Superior Rooms also provide stunning vistas, showcasing the River Arno, the expansive Piazzale Michelangelo, or captivating panoramic views of the rest of the city, often with the iconic Church of Santa Croce prominently in the foreground and the rolling hills of Fiesole providing a scenic backdrop.
Guests are invited to savor specially-made cocktails, expertly crafted by skilled mixologists, and pair them with delectable culinary creations prepared by the hotel’s talented chef. The hotel’s extensive wine list showcases a wide and impressive choice of local varietals, allowing guests to sample the best of Tuscan winemaking.

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.
