Location & what to see

Hotel Bernini Palace boasts an extraordinary setting in the medieval and Renaissance center of Florence, located in the picturesque Uffizi district overlooking Piazza San Firenze. The historic building, dating back to the 15th century, sits at an altitude of approximately 50 meters above sea level in a restricted traffic zone of high artistic value. The hotel stands directly opposite the Franco Zeffirelli Foundation, located just 36 meters away, and 99 meters from the Bargello National Museum, allowing guests to explore Florence’s architectural wonders entirely on foot.

Getting around is exceptionally convenient thanks to short distances from the city’s main transport hubs. Santa Maria Novella Railway Station is about 1 kilometer away and can be reached with a short walk or via local buses, while Campo di Marte Station is 1.7 kilometers away. For air travelers, Florence Peretola Airport is just 5.7 kilometers away, making the property easily accessible for short stays or business trips.
