Great location with easy access to the airport. The property offers airport shuttle service for a fee. Also a lovely restaurant & bar with delicious dinner options in a cozy setting. Breakfast available for a modest fee so that’s a plus especially if you’re catching an early morning flight. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

EXCELLENT stay with easy access to all we needed.
Hotel Franchi was an easy walk from our Car Rental return and then an easy taxi ride to the airport in the morning. The front desk staff were all so very helpful in making the taxi reservation for us. We ate dinner at the cafe on site and it was delicious!

What a find! I expected a pkace this clise to the airport, and at such a reasonable price, to be quite average. Which would have been fine. But Hotel Franchi is a gem!
Great, above-and-beyond service. Welcoming staff. A lovely lounge area on the ground floor, with a small pub for drinks and food. Clean and comfortable room, with a balcony! I can't say enough about how lovely this place is.
For accessibility: one step up to get in the door and a small elevator if you don't want to use the stairs.
I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Florence.

Staff was welcoming and very competent.
Surrounding area is not touristy, limited--but very adequate--dining options.
The airport shuttle was dead on time, fast & efficient.
