Rivalta Hotel - Alfieri Collezione (Florence, Italy)

You get a fabulous location when you book this hotel. Major attractions, such as the Cathedral and Statue of David, are only a few footsteps away, putting you in the prime setting.

Not only will you be close to the attractions, but this hotel also sits right on the Arno River. You can explore the river yourself or just sit back and watch the water life around you.

When you head down to enjoy breakfast, you will be mesmerised by the feast waiting for you. It is a huge spread complete with everything, from pastries to meats and eggs.

An added expense you may have to deal with is the car park charge. Even so, while you will have to pay to store your car here, the staff will take care of it all for you - from when you arrive ‘till when you're ready to leave.

Using the Wi-Fi signal at this hotel may be a problem. It is very spotty, and you will have a hard time accessing it in your room. Which can be a headache, really, especially if you need to access Internet often.

Although the rooms come with air-conditioning units, they are not a match for Italy's heat. There is a good chance you will struggle to keep your room cool with these units.
