Location

By choosing to stay at the 4-star Hotel Monna Lisa you will find yourself in the heart of Florence, in the historic Borgo Pinti, just a few steps from the squares, churches and monuments that have made this wonderful city famous.
From our hotel, a short walk takes you to Piazza Duomo, where you will admire Giotto's Bell Tower, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with Brunelleschi's majestic dome, and the Baptistery with its famous Gates of Paradise by Ghiberti. Past the Bargello National Museum, you enter Piazza della Signoria, the administrative centre of Florence; amidst superb architecture and sumptuous palaces - above all the Medici Palazzo Vecchio - the copy of Michelangelo's David and the Gothic vaults of the Loggia Lanzi are on display.
Immediately afterwards, you will arrive at the astonishing Uffizi Gallery, which houses an exceptional variety of artworks ranging from the 14th century to the Renaissance and the modern age; artists such as Botticelli, Giotto, Caravaggio and Rembrandt are featured.
Book your tickets in advance and enjoy an unparalleled collection. Not to be missed! Ponte Vecchio with its ancient goldsmiths' workshops is one of the symbols of Florence. Overlook the Arno and let yourself be enchanted by the slow flowing waters, a charming and romantic spot that precedes Palazzo Pitti with its famous Boboli Gardens, a green oasis in the centre of the city.

A few minutes' walk from Hotel Monna Lisa is the Basilica di Santa Croce. Constructed in the 13th century, it represents one of the greatest expressions of Italian Gothic architecture. Inside are buried artists, men of letters and scientists of the fame of Michelangelo, Machiavelli and Galileo Galilei. This was the reason that prompted the poet Ugo Foscolo to call the building 'Il tempio dell'Itale glorie'.
