Location & what to see

Plaza Hotel Lucchesi enjoys a location directly facing the banks of the River Arno, along Lungarno della Zecca Vecchia in the Santa Croce neighborhood of Florence. Staying in this area allows you to experience authentic Florentine atmosphere, walking through historic alleys, noble palaces, and artisan shops. Just two hundred meters from the property lie the Convent of San Francesco de’ Macci and the Oratory of Santa Maria della Croce.

The location allows access to the most famous monuments of the historic center via short, flat walks. The Basilica of Santa Croce is about four hundred meters away, while the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza della Signoria are just six hundred and fifty meters along the river. Crossing the Arno, you can reach the Rose Garden in three hundred and fifty meters and climb up to Piazzale Michelangelo in four hundred and fifty meters to admire the city from above. Santa Maria Novella and Campo di Marte train stations are about one and a half kilometers away, while Florence Peretola Airport is located six kilometers away.

The location is ideal for exploration at any time of year. During spring and summer, it is wonderful to walk to Ponte Vecchio, eight hundred meters away, or enjoy sunsets along the Arno. In colder months, the numerous nearby cultural options, such as Casa Buonarroti at three hundred and fifty meters and the Bargello National Museum at six hundred meters, allow for enjoyable visits without the need for public transportation.
