While few cars are actually allowed to cruise Via Calzaiuoli, it sees some major traffic. A pedestrian thoroughfare, leading up from Piazza Signoria to the Duomo, Via Calzaiuoli is no quiet side street. That caveat offered, Hotel Aldini offers 14 cozy rooms that provide a great place to escape the masses at night, and wake up in the heart of it all by day.
Elisabetta and family run the Aldini with care and attention to homey details. Rooms are a comfy hodge-podge of antique-style and modern, basic furniture. Clean, white walls and pastel bedcovers complete the tone. There's plenty of light and plenty of space; happily, the same can be said about the bathrooms, which come tiled in bright green. The breakfast room and common spaces feel far closer to home than hotel.
Amenities and comforts fulfill the two-star standard, which is not always the case in such prime locations. Considering the ultra central location, these guys could charge a whole lot more for a lot less.
