Continentale
-
Doubles from EUR 330*
Accommodation onlyBook now » With its sleek minimalist design the Continentale is the very antithesis of the classic Florentine Room with a View-style pensiones and it's a huge hit with those searching for a contemporary vibe. It almost sits right on the famous Ponte Vecchio and is within a few minutes' walk from well everywhere. The sleek receptionists are clad in black suits; black and white fashion photographs line the walls; classic European films run on a loop on a giant plasma screen in the foyer.
