After a little walking around (damn those Google maps) we eventually found our hotel, which was incredible. Hotel Brunelleschi is named after the painter of the dome in the cathedral in Florence. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone thinking about a trip to Florence.
Someone was obviously looking down on us with kindness as on our arrival, we were told that the room we had requested (via email) to be upgraded to was not available. We were instead offered (at a small cost) the Bargello suite which normally cost 1000 euros a night. After a little consideration (milliseconds at most), we agreed.
The room was stunning and helped make the 4 days in Florence so memorable.
