Amazing in every way. The beauty of waking around is unlike any other. When we got there after a long day of traveling we had just missed the lunchtime to eat, and when went to shower the handle broke off- this is not a complaint. First they extended lunch without being asked and fixed the shower within minutes. From there on everything was amazing. Take time to eat the incredible breakfast in the garden, watch the breathtaking sunset in the back it’s incredible. Alessio- does it all he was...

Staff were very helpful and professional. Speaking English was not a problem. The breakfast buffet had a lot fresh food, fruit and pastries to choose from

The place is very clean and quiet. It is in an exclusive neighborhood. Very safe to walk around. Their staff are very friendly and very service oriented. Breakfast was faboulous.
The only thing is, it is a little further away from the city. Need a taxi to go anywhere but the taxi is also readily available and staff will call them for us. Wait time is very short usually less than 10 minutes.

If you are planning to visit Florence, this is the hotel you should book! It won't let you down. Your Florence stay will be brilliant and memorable.
I booked this hotel after read someone's comment. As I learned, the location is a bit far from the center of city. Even so, it is still worth to stay at this hotel. If you take a taxi, it costs 10 euro from/to hotel approxilately. For money savers, taking a bus #14 just for 2 euro may be suitable. The bus stop for #14 is only 2 blocks walk...

I had a great experience here that far exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect, just a short walk from major tourist attractions. The morning breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety to start the day. One standout feature was the complimentary snacks and drinks in the minibar—such a thoughtful touch that truly enhanced the experience.

Short walk to walled city, safe neighborhood but most of all fantastic staff. I have never seen a group of people that are so kind, helpful and willing to do anything for their customers. We had an incident that required an ambulance in the very early hours of the morning. The night desk shift manager took such good care of us, calling ambulance, explaining to us in English what was going to happen.

This is a great hotel in the heart of Florence. You literally get out of the door into everything you would need and want, including all the most amazing main attractions. A few steps from Il Duomo. Beautiful rooms, great service and they also have an adjacent rooftop restaurant and bar to watch the most beautiful sunset.

Hotel staff was very accommodating. The bed was comfortable and the service was great. Very close the train station, about a 5 minute walk. Great local restaurants within walking distance. Also great location for visiting the historical sites.

The best thing about Hotel Rapallo is EVERYTHING. To start with the location is most convenient, about 10 mins from main train station and about 10 to 15 walk to all the attractions and restaurants. We were greeted at the reception by a lovely lady Regina, she was very polite, friendly and helpful. Our check in was an absolute breeze. Regina also provided us with the map and to our surprise was also able to get us the booking for Academia Museum for the next day...in a nut shell...most amazing...

We only stayed one night at this place but we really enjoyed it. Very cool vibes. Only downside is that getting to the room feels a bit complicated since it's in a different building than the lobby.

Where to stay in Tuscany for a Summer Vacation
Choosing the right neighborhood can greatly improve your vacation. Areas close to your preferred activities and attractions can help you make the most of your trip, whether you're looking for relaxation, outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, family-friendly amenities, or vibrant nightlife. If convenience is a priority, central neighborhoods often provide easy access to popular attractions, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and local landmarks. Whether you prefer a quiet retreat or the energy of a bustling destination, find the ideal hotel for your summer vacation travel style and budget.

Top hotels for a Summer Vacation in Tuscany
The best type of hotel for a summer vacation depends on your travel style and priorities. Resorts are ideal for travelers seeking relaxation and resort-style amenities such as pools, spas, and other activities. City hotels are perfect for those who want to stay close to major attractions, restaurants, shopping districts, and nightlife, offering convenience and easy access to cultural landmarks. Families often benefit most from family resorts, which typically provide spacious rooms, children's pools, kids' clubs to keep them entertained, and activities designed for all ages.

Best time to book a Summer Vacation in Tuscany
For families planning a summer vacation in Tuscany, the best time to visit balances weather, crowds, and cost. Peak summer generally combines warmest temperatures, school holiday timing, and the fullest range of activities and events, but it also comes with potentially higher prices. Shoulder periods and early or late summer often provide a great alternative, with pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and better availability while still offering most seasonal experiences. It's also worth considering local festivals and public holidays, which can add unique cultural highlights but may increase demand. Choosing the right travel window based on your priorities can help ensure a smoother, more enjoyable summer break.
Tips to Save on a Summer Vacation in Tuscany
Book early for the best value. Securing your summer vacation in advance often unlocks lower prices, better room choices, and more flexible options. Early booking also helps you avoid peak-season price surges and gives you greater control over your itinerary.
Travel smart during shoulder dates. Choosing slightly earlier or later summer dates can reduce costs while still offering great weather and full access to attractions. This is one of the easiest ways to balance value with experience in Tuscany.
Bundle your trip for extra savings. Look for packages on Expedia that combine flights, hotels, and sometimes transfers or activities which can often deliver better overall value than booking separately while simplifying your planning process.
Choose accommodation that matches your budget and needs. From family resorts to city hotels and beach stays, selecting the right type of hotel ensures that you only pay for the amenities you actually use. Many family-friendly and all-inclusive options also help you better manage daily spending while staying comfortable.
Why book with Expedia?
Booking your hotel on Expedia makes it easier to get more out of your trip from the start. With a wide choice of hotels, you can compare prices, reviews and amenities all in one place, then bundle your hotel with flights which could help you save even more.
