Transportation

In order to get to it from Florence SMN Railway Station, there is an option of 3 options:- a cab will cost around 8 ?uros and is readily gettable from the major exit in facade of tracks no. 8-9-10);- by bus lines 11 or 17 from the side exit by track no. five: receive off at the stop after the Cathedral and stroll another 50 yards on the other side of the street;- stroll all the way (8-10 minutes): leave the Station by the side exit by track no. 16, take the underpass to the right till the end of it and then keep going direct ahead for approximately 400 yards, till the Cathedral (a massive white church): at that stage turn left into Via Martelli, which becomes Via Cavour after 50 yards. Coming in by plane? In order to get to the guesthouse from FlorencePeretola airport there is an option of 2 choices: a cab will cost around 16 ?uros and is readily accessible. Otherwise, catch the Airport shuttle bus to the Railway Station: once there, transfer to bus lines no. 11 or 17 (the same ticket covers both rides), receive off at the stop after the Cathedral and stroll another 50 yards in the same direction of the bus, on the other side of the boulevard. From Pisa airport, instead, one of the best way is to seize the opportunity of the firsthand train or coach connections to Florence Santa Maria Novella Station and then catch a cab to the inn (about 8 ?uros). Coming by auto? In order to get to the inn by auto, from any motorway fusion follow the signs 'Centro' or 'Viali Circonvallazione' till reaching 'Piazza della Liberta' (a commodious piazza encircled by arcades with 2 gates in the middle - everyone will be can point it out): Via Cavour starts from this piazza, but we are almost at the other end of it, approximately 500 yards down the boulevard: should any traffic warden stop you, just produce it bright that you're travellers going to your hotel and heshe will let you through. Upon your advent, try to garden as at the foot of the pavement as possible and leave the auto with the double flashing lights on while offloading your luggage: we shall then instruct you on where to garden. As we are so situated un the centre, we have negotiated some parking spaces either in a personal garage just beyond our building, at the cost of approximately 25 ?uros per night including valet facilities, or in a social one approximately 700 yards away at the cost of 15 ?uros per night.
