Florence Grand Hotel Palatino

 Large establishment offering particularly spacious facilities which are all well-appointed, comfortable and peaceful, despite the busy road outside. The immediate surrounds are rather unremarkable, but many small side streets behind the property offer interesting little shops and cafes to explore.

In the south of the city centre, very convenient for the Colosseum and Imperial Fora ruins. The more northerley concentration of tourist sights are walk-able at a stretch, but the handy metro a few yards away, may prove the better option.

Suit couples, groups and individuals looking for a quality establishment to relax after a hard days sightseeing and those interested especially in the ancient ruins of Rome.
