In the historic heart of Florence, capital of Tuscany and cradle of the Renaissance, lies the pedestrian street Via dei Calzaiuoli, one of the city's most elegant shopping streets. It connects Piazza del Duomo, with the imposing Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, and Piazza della Signoria, with Palazzo Vecchio. About halfway down the street you will find the beautiful church of Orsanmichele and also the cozy Hotel Calzaiuoli, named after the street. The hotel is in the perfect location to explore the rich cultural heritage, the many squares, terraces and boutiques of the city of the Medici.
Caractère clients get macarons and water in the room. From the Prestige room you get a bottle of Prosecco in the room. Every day from 5 to 8 p.m. you can enjoy a glass of Prosecco or fruit juice in the lobby.

Calzaiuoli refers to ‘calzaiolo’, meaning ‘shoemaker’. Via Calzaiuoli got its name from the historical presence of shoemakers in the area.
The cozy rooms feature parquet flooring, coffee and tea facilities, a minibar, air conditioning, and views of the pedestrian street, the medieval Museo del Bargello, or Piazza della Repubblica. Bathrooms have a bathtub or shower, a hairdryer, and slippers.
We prefer the prestige rooms as they are more spacious. Some of these rooms offer views of the Duomo’s dome.
The hotel does not have a pool, but Florence offers plenty to make your stay exciting.
The city is an open-air museum, boasting stunning ‘palazzi’, the Ponte Vecchio, and impressive squares. Visit its many highlights, such as the Uffizi Gallery, the Galleria dell’Accademia with Michelangelo’s David, and the Duomo with Brunelleschi’s dome and the Baptistery. The Museo Nazionale del Bargello houses the world’s most important collection of Italian Renaissance sculptures. For a deeper understanding of these treasures, we can arrange a private Dutch-speaking guide for a three-hour walking tour through the historic center. Besides culture, you can enjoy cozy terraces and an extensive shopping scene.
Children are welcome. No special facilities are available, but family rooms can be arranged upon request.
In the intimate and cozy Sala Boiserie, enjoy a breakfast buffet with freshly baked pastries, eggs, cheeses, and fresh fruit. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but there is a wide selection of dining options within walking distance. For those interested, the sister hotel in Fiesole, a higher district, offers a Michelin-starred dining experience.
