My husband and I took our dream trip to Italy, visiting Venice, Florence & Rome in August of 2007. I realize this is a bit dated, but I meant to review earlier. After searching all the reviews and tips on Trip Advisor, I booked the Starhotels Tuscany for our stay in Florence. We were a little nervous having never been to Italy before, but were very happy once we arrived. The hotel was very clean and modern. We felt like we were back in the states. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is the location. We were not very close to the museums and sites that we wanted to see, so we had to rely on taxis or bus transportation. Make sure you visit the Ufizi, Baptistry, Duomo (and climb the dome, but know its very steep and claustrophobic!!), St Croce, St Maria Novella, & the Academia museum!! Lots of walking, so bring good shoes and sunscreen! We enjoyed Florence, but absolutely love Venice & Rome!
