Berchielli Hotel
Location
The historic Berchielli Hotel stands on the banks of the Arno River just moment’s from Florence’s landmark attractions. Just a moment’s walk away is the Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery, Pitti Palace, Piazza Signoria, Brunelleschi Dome, and the designer name shops and boutiques and the local Florentine markets. The main train station, Santa Maria Novella, is 800 meters for those desiring to explore sights beyond downtown. This grand property has been welcoming visitors since 1890 and is something of a landmark itself with its stained glass windows, chrome and wrought iron works by local craftsman, and fine marbles and stone along with breathtaking views over the Arno River. 76 rooms (of which three are junior suites and four are apartments) are richly furnished with thick pile carpets combined with soft neutral tones and precious marble and the most modern amenities including direct control air conditioning, Satellite TV, radio, mini-bar, direct dial telephone, internet access, safe, en-suite bathroom with hairdryer, exclusive line of toiletries, and soft pile towels.
