Hotel Giglio
C. Italy: Tuscany: Florence
Conveniently located on Via Cavour, just a 15-minute walk to the Duomo, this hotel occupies the second floor of a building. It is JDB's least expensive hotel in Florence. But we want to caution that this is NOT a property for deluxe, semi-deluxe or would be deluxe clients! There is a full flight of steps up to reception from the street, although there is a small elevator available. Once you reach the second floor, there is a bar, breakfast room, and internet point. All rooms have in-room safe and satellite television.

Staff is on duty around the clock. Perfect for families, the hotel offers two quad bedded rooms and three triple bedded rooms. Three rooms have bathtubs and the rest of the rooms have shower only. One double room on the top floor on the back of the hotel is private and quiet. The elevator does NOT go to this room! The hotel has recently changed owners (2007) and the previous owner's shoes are big ones to fill!
