Rome/Florence hotels

Hello,
I have spent some time here looking for advice on my upcoming honeymoon to Italy (Rome-Florence-Tuscany). It's been great! Most of the hotel recommendations I've seen have been pretty steep, though. I wonder if anyone has lovely hotels (or b&bs/pensiones) in Rome and Florence to recommend around 100 Euros? Thanks!

Try Hotel Caravaggio in Florence. I booked EUR98 per night for our August honeymoon. I've seen pretty good reviews about them. Good luck!

Hi hmoon,

You might wish to consider the B&B Peterson, www.bedinflorence.it

It is very basic accomodations, but it is clean, well maintained, has AC and is not far from the train station in a safe, residential neighborhood. About 65E dbl ensuite.

Eurocheapo.com has many rated 2 star, 1 star, B&B and pensiones - all in the 100Euro range. All hotels listed have been personally visited by the staff of the website. You can even sort by neighborhood. Find some that interest you and come back here.

Hi hmoongal,

My family stayed at the following hotel for 4 nights in December. The view of the Duomo was magical. We paid around 110 Euros for a quad and that included coffee and croissants.

The hotel is in a building on the right side of the piazza across from the batistry.Could not recommend it enough but the hotel is on the 4th floor so there are stairs to climb.

They have a website and Kelly and Lucca are very nice (she's from San Jose).

I have the Hotel Caravaggio booked for mid March,(90E for a triple). Seems like a great price, but I have yet to hear from anyone who has stayed there.

Thanks for the tips--I'm going in the first two weeks of April--which puts me in Rome for Easter (I know, I need to book, like, NOW...). I guess that makes my trip right at the start of the high season.

Oh, and I should have mentioned that I am driving (we're taking a road trip) and will have a car (to park). Thanks!

We are staying at Tourist House Ghilberti www.touristhouseghiberti.com in April. Highly recommended on this site. We are paying 150 euro per night. Its right near the Duomo...not sure about the parking.

Goo luck.
