Places to stay in Florence?
Going to Florence for 2 weeks at the end of April 2007. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive pensione or hotel there? Also, I was going to sign up for drawing, painting or sculpture classes? Would anyone have a school to recommend? I am currently considering taking Italian classes and drawing classes at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci. Has anyone been to this school or have an opinion about it? Thanks.

I took Italian language classes at Scuola Leonardo da Vinci 3 years ago and thought the lessons were good. Met students from Europe, Asia, and some from the U.S.
I don't know anything about drawing classes.

If you don't mind a curfew - you can stay quite cheaply with the nuns! I did it in Florence when I was a student. Instituto Oblate dell'Assunzione.
It wouldn't have been my first choice but I couldn't find anywhere reasonable to stay in a peak holiday time. The nuns even let me park my car in their courtyard.

We stayed at lovely old hotel a couple of years ago. http://www.hermitagehotel.com/eng_new/about.htm
Great location, great staff and room. Reasonably priced even in today's market.
