Surroundings

The Hotel Villa Liberty is located on Viale Michelangelo at number 40, adjacent to Piazza Michelangelo. The surrounding area is tranquil and unobtrusive. It is the perfect location for guests who wish quick and easy access into the heart of Florence but prefer residing in a guest house apart from the hustle and bustle of the historic city centre, which was declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982 and attracts millions of tourists every year.

The surrounding area is not short of restaurants, authentic trattorie and bars offering authentic Italian cuisine and local specialties. Piazza Michelangelo, one of the most famous observation points in Florence, is located extremely close to the hotel. Piazza Michelangelo was built in 1865 on a hill just south of the city centre and is dedicated to the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo.

Another famous site is the Basilica di San Miniato al Monte (the Basilica of St Minias on the Mountain) which is 800 metres from the hotel. The basilica stands on the peak of one of the highest points of Florence, providing breathtaking panoramas of the city. The church is considered as one of the most beautiful in Italy and the finest example of Romanesque architecture in Tuscany.

The Ponte Vecchio is 2 km away. There are numerous buses which operate from the close vicinity of the hotel and the centre of Florence. Guests may also like to stroll down towards Piazza Ferrucci and walk down the banks of the River Arno towards Ponte Alle Grazie and then the Ponte Vecchio.
