De Lanzi,  Tuscany Italy

★    ★   ★

 

A rather unexciting simple option offering friendly family-run accommodation smack bang in the middle of the action – with most of the major sights a stones throw away. Occupies the top three floors of the building with access via stairs or a lift.

Exterior

Agreeable traditional terrace building with wooden window shutters and an arched stone-clad entrance.

Property type: Hotel

Storeys: 5

Interior

Interior is generally unimaginative but does have some traditional touches; pleasant enough lobby has terracotta-tiled floor, large wooden reception desk and an adjoining small lounge area with limited seating. Simple breakfast room doubles as a bar in the evening.

Rooms: 39

Grounds

There’s a small courtyard patio with potted plants and some plastic tables and chairs, but it lacks a little in atmosphere.

Location

Area Type: 50 yds south of Piazza del Duomo, in a small narrow city centre side street, in the heart of the action with an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Bus stop 150 yds. Train Station 600 yds.
