Hotel Le Due Fontane

A room at the Hotel Le Due Fontane, Florence

Run out of a palace from the 1600s, this hotel offers a fatasic view of the piazza

The only thing this modest, modernized hotel has over its neighbor the Hotel Loggiato dei Serviti is that the rooms here get a view of all three loggia-blessed sides of the harmonious piazza (in the Loggiato, you are actually looking out from one of those loggias).

Although installed in a 15th-century palace, both the accommodations and the public areas have been done along clean lines of a nondescript modern style.

Unless you get a room with the view of the piazza (along with some unfortunate traffic noise), this might not be the most memorable place to stay.
