With direct views of the Mercato Centrale from not just one, but two terraces, John's Dome is perfect for those who want to spend their time al fresco. The interiors are modern and clean, though we wouldn’t go as far as saying that it has a coherent design style. Having said that, a group of friends or a family would be well looked after here, especially with its proximity to some of Florence's most exciting attractions – the already-mentioned Mercato Centrale is a must if you're a bit of a foodie.

Local guide
About Santa Maria Novella
Tucked inside the thirteenth century boulevard that marks out the oldest part of Florence, this neighbourhood is on the western edge of Florence’s historic centre. The Piazza Santa Maria Novella, with its Gothic church and museum, is the centrepiece, and while the area immediately surrounding the train station is fairly gritty, it’s a convenient spot for those just passing through. Though Santa Maria Novella is not directly in the middle...
