Find Romantic Hotels in Oltrarno

"The Hotel La Scaletta is the ideal base for a visit to Florence. Only 2 minutes to the Ponte Vecchio in one direction and two minutes to the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens in the other. All the main attractions such as the Uffizi Gallery, Duomo and Baptistry are just a few walk minutes away. Florence is crazy busy but once you step in through the ancient archway to the hotel reception it is an oasis of calm. For our first few night we had a Garden Double Room set in a quiet courtyard and lovely garden. It was so peaceful and yet the hustle and bustle of the Ponte Vecchio was only a few metres away. We returned a few days later after a wedding and found we had been upgraded to a Superior Room on one of the upper floors. The room was delightful with a huge bed and lovely bathroom. Breakfast was good. Buffet-style with the option to eat on the rooftop terrace with amazing panoramic views of Florence. Florence is a really walkable city and there are loads of places to eat, grab a panini or a gelato within a few steps of the hotel. Taxis from Santa Maria Novella Station are plentiful but ranged in price from15 to 30 euros. **Word of warning!** If you use the tram to travel into the city from Florence Airport be on your guard for pickpockets! They target people stressing with suitcases getting onto the trams. They nearly got my husband's wallet! We loved our stay at the Hotel La Scaletta and highly recommend for perfect Florence holiday.

"Staff were very helpful and friendly, fantastic environment very clean, elegant. It was so nice to go out all day to shop and explore Florence and come back to the pool. Have a drink by the pool and then go out for a nice dinner close by I have recommended this hotel to many friends. I’m looking forward to going back next year and staying longer. 🇮🇹💕"

"One of the BEST hotels we’ve ever stayed at. We had just gotten married and were on our honeymoon and when they found they upgraded us from a classic room to a mindblowingly beautiful suite with two bathrooms and a view of the pool. The style, decor, comfort, impeccable service made our honeymoon in Firenze wonderful. This is a WORLD CLASS HOTEL! Special shout out to fabulous Fabio for the rockstar welcome!"

"Hotel David is truly a gem. It is a quaint, peaceful, and beautiful hotel. We had the most amazing view of Florence. They had breakfast and happy hours included which was super nice. The staff was so friendly, our room was super clean. It was perfect. We would definitely stay here again. "
