About

Hotel Nuova Italia

Hotel Nuova Italia is a 2-star hotel on Via Faenza, one of Florence's lively streets between the main train station and the historic core. It’s a 6-minute walk from Via Faenza and steps from San Lorenzo Market and the Duomo. The hotel is family-run, with a small, unpretentious vibe—don't expect room service or a spa; it's about location and simplicity.

Rooms are practical and clean, with air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs. Some face the courtyard. Breakfast is included in many rates and served on-site, with coffee noted by guests as particularly good. The staff, including the Viti family, are repeatedly praised for their friendliness and helpfulness.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable central location — A short walk from the main railway station and Florence's top sights, including the Duomo and San Lorenzo Market.
  • Excellent value for money — Low starting price of £37 per night in a prime spot, with breakfast often included—guests consistently call it a bargain.
  • Family-run warmth — The Viti family and night staff are frequently singled out for being friendly and helpful, making the stay feel personal.
  • Clean and comfortable rooms — Though basic, rooms are kept spotless, with adequate space, heating, air conditioning, and flat-screen TVs.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic facilities — This is a simple 2-star hotel—no elevator, pool, or gym, and Wi-Fi only in public areas, not in rooms.
  • Street noise possible — Via Faenza is a lively street, and with windows open you'll hear the markets and trattorias below.
  • Limited room amenities — Some room types (like the Single Room) have no listed in-room amenities beyond basics; expect no frills.
