  Hotel Casci, (24 rooms) description: Located just a few steps away from the Cathedral, the Accademia Gallery and from all monuments and museums, this small, family managed hotel is set right in the heart of Florence. This small hotel is very centrally located in a 15th-century palace and boasts some original fresco ceilings: the building was house and property of the famous composer Gioacchino Rossini during the 19th century. The central location is one of its main features, only 500 yards from the main train station, with the Gallery of the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio and all sights, museums and monuments just a few steps away. Most theatres and Italian language schools are also located in this downtown area. In addition to this, there is a free internet point in the lobby and free Wi-Fi access throughout the hotel.

TRAVEL INFORMATION
Our hotel is very centrally located only 150 yards away from Florence Cathedral and very close to all monuments and museums. In order to reach it from SMN Railway Station, there is a choice of three options: - a taxi will cost around 8 Euros and is readily available from the main exit in front of tracks no. 8-9-10); - by bus lines 11 or 17 from the side exit by track no. 5: get off at the stop after the Cathedral and walk another 50 yards on the other side of the street; - walk all the way (8-10 minutes): leave the Station by the side exit by track no. 16, take the underpass to the right until the end of it and then keep going straight ahead for about 400 yards, until reaching the Cathedral (a massive white church): at that stage turn left into Via Martelli, which becomes Via Cavour after 50 yards. By car, from any motorway junction, follow the signs 'Centro' or 'Viali Circonvallazione' until reaching 'Piazza della Libertà' (a big square surrounded by arcades with two gates in the middle - everyone will be able to point it out): Via Cavour starts from this square, but we are almost at the other end of it, about 500 yards down the street: should any traffic warden stop you, just make it clear that you are tourists going to your hotel and he/she will let you through. Upon your arrival, try to park as close to the pavement as possible and leave the car with the double flashing lights on whilst offloading your luggage: we shall then instruct you on where to park. As we are so centrally located, we have negotiated some parking places either in a private garage just behind our building, at the cost of about 23 Euros per night including valet service, or in a public one about 500 yards away at the cost of 15 Euros per night. In order to reach it from Florence/Peretola airport there is a choice of two options: a taxi will cost around 16 Euros and readily available. Otherwise, catch the shuttle bus to the Railway Station: once there, transfer to bus lines no. 11 or 17 (the same ticket covers both rides), get off at the stop after the Cathedral and walk another 50 yards in the same direction of the bus, on the other side of the street. From Pisa airport, instead, there are immediate coach or train connections to Florence Santa Maria Novella Station, from where you may catch a taxi to the hotel (cost around 8 Euros).
