About a ten-minute walk from Florence's main action, Hotel Mario's is a pretty package, a mid-range hotel with all the trimmings. For those who crave creature comforts, even the splurge-worthy peak double room rate of €155 (considering charm, comfort, and convenience) may be worth it. That said, Mario's doubles do start on the low side.

Housed in a 17th-century Renaissance building, dark wood, chunky antiques, arched doors, and stained glass set a scene of rustic elegance here. A dark, "medieval" atmosphere prevails throughout the hotel's 16 rooms too, which are done up in authentic antique style. Wood-beamed or vaulted ceilings accent tasteful red and gold brocade bedding. Matching desks, armoires, and bedside tables complete the décor. Bathrooms are long, narrow, and shiny. All rooms are air-conditioned.

Guests kick off their days in a breakfast room resembling a 14th-century banquet hall, and then pop right outdoors to a vibrant part of the city, where everyone (including actual Florentines) do their shopping. Hotel Mario's is cute, clean, quaint, and worth the splurge.
