Pros

Walking distance to major attractions including Ponte Vecchio (0.5 miles) and Pitti Palace (1 mile)
Continental breakfast buffet with homemade items

“Hotel Galileo, set in a 19th-century palace, has a certain historical charm. I think its central location, near the Florence train station and within walking distance of major attractions, makes it a reasonable base for exploring. While some may find the rooms small and the soundproofing inadequate, the Tuscan decor and personalized service add appeal.”
