Location
Hotel Ascot Florence provides the ideal starting point from which
to access all parts of the magnificent city of Firenze on foot or
to explore the surrounding country by train or car. If you require
car rental, please make a request when booking via our Real
Time Booking page.
Just a 10 minute walk in an easterly direction will bring you
to the famous Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore – the heart of
Firenze, characterised by its famous orange dome which can be seen
from all around the city. South from there is the world famous Uffizi
Gallery, home to countless priceless works of art by such celebrated
artists as Michelangelo, Botticelli and Caravaggio; as well as one
of the finest views of the cityscape one is ever likely to find.
Part of the view is the spectacular Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s
most beautiful and most famous bridge over the Rive Arno and thriving
cultural hub.

How to Reach Us
A short coach journey from Amerigo Vespucci (Florence) Airport
brings you to Santa Maria Novella Railway Station. From the forcourt
outside the Railway Station look left and you’ll see Via Nazionale,
the Hotel Ascot is number 8a on the right hand side. Alternatively,
a 20 minute taxi ride directly from the airport may be even more
convenient. It is advisable to establish the price before departing
– a taxi ride from the airport about 5 miles away should cost
no more than about €15.
Printing the map above may also prove to be useful in reaching
Hotel Ascot, though more detailed tourist maps are available from
our reception desk when you arrive.
