We felt right at home at the Dei Mori Bed & Breakfast, a splurge-worthy property located in a renovated 17th-century palazzo on Via Dante Alghieri. The hotel, a family-run joint, is managed by Peter, a boisterous and professional Englishman.

Arches, high ceilings and narrow hallways lead to five sun-streamed rooms. Dei Mori's layout is adorable. Each and every room is different. Larger rooms have sectioned-off closets with full-length mirrors and very flattering lighting. Rooms have beautiful frescoed ceilings dating back to the 1700s. Most are decorated with classic furniture in dark wood and wrought iron, with varying shades of fluffy bedding and tasteful curtains. Air conditioning and a telephone are available in all rooms.

Spend a few hours on the sun-swept balcony or in the parlor. The library is yours to devour and includes a hefty selection of guidebooks to boot. The place hardly feels like a hotel at all. Dei Mori wins big for quiet, convenience and that down-home experience.

Breakfast is included in the room rate.

Duomo

You can't miss Brunelleschi's magnificent dome atop the rosy marble Cathedral. It's the obvious central meeting point and tourist hub of the city. Here, you're in the vicinity of practically everything: the Uffizi Museums, Palazzo della Signoria, the San Lorenzo Market and the Accademia.

The streets surrounding the Duomo cater to visitors, with generic, all-day dining (for a price) and exclusive shopping. The big guns in Italian fashion are located along Via Tornabuoni (technically closer to Santa Maria Novella), with several others on Via Calzaiuoli, Via del Corso. Borgo Albizi, which starts behind the Duomo is more of a boutique street, featuring handmade, original designs in clothing and accessories.

Sleeping in a hotel near the Duomo makes practical sense, as this is the center of Florence, making it simple to pop back to your hotel room at a moment's notice. Fortunately, several of our favorite budget hotels in the city are located in this neighborhood—some are surprisingly affordable given their location. (Also see this blog post about out favorite hotels near the Duomo for under €100.)
