Situated a hop, skip and a prayer from the Duomo, the Dali is characterized by its low rates, great location, friendly owners—and, gasp!—free parking.

The owners, Florence natives Marco and Samantha, know that their guests love art, so they’ve filled the Dali’s hallways and 10 rooms with old Tuscan maps and unique artwork (created by friends, former guests and Samantha herself). They’ve also thrown in antiques, comfy beds and a lending library. Rooms are outfitted with modern comforts, including air conditioning, satellite TV and a mini-fridge.

Peach-colored bathrooms, private and shared, feature cute porthole mirrors. Rooms without bathrooms have small corner sinks and mirrors.

Rooms are equipped with baskets with tea and instant coffee packets, and a kettle. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and one more thing: the Dali offers free parking—unheard of in Florence!

Location: Very central

0.3km to city center

You can't miss Brunelleschi's magnificent dome atop the rosy marble Cathedral. It's the obvious central meeting point and tourist hub of the city. Here, you're in the vicinity of practically everything: the Uffizi Museums, Palazzo della Signoria, the San Lorenzo Market and the Accademia.

The streets surrounding the Duomo cater to visitors, with generic, all-day dining (for a price) and exclusive shopping. The big guns in Italian fashion are located along Via Tornabuoni (technically closer to Santa Maria Novella), with several others on Via Calzaiuoli, Via del Corso. Borgo Albizi, which starts behind the Duomo is more of a boutique street, featuring handmade, original designs in clothing and accessories.

Sleeping in a hotel near the Duomo makes practical sense, as this is the center of Florence, making it simple to pop back to your hotel room at a moment's notice. Fortunately, several of our favorite budget hotels in the city are located in this neighborhood—some are surprisingly affordable given their location. (Also see this blog post about out favorite hotels near the Duomo for under €100.)
