Only a block away from Firenze's train station (Santa Maria Novella), Hotel Palace Machiavelli is located very conveniently near the Accademia Gallery, some other tourist spots and a lot of bar and dining options with a variety of price ranges. The staff is very helpful and kind, and the facilities are clean and comfortable. It even has a rooftop bar with a beautiful view of Firenze. Unfortunately, we weren't able to take advantage of it since the bar it's closed during winter but we went up anyways and photographed the hell out of the view at night. We even ordered the extras they offer you and asked fora bottle of chianti (that was already waiting in the room for us when we arrived). I really recommend this hotel if you want to visit Firenze, even if it's just for a couple of days.
