Hotel · Il Romito

"Offering great facilities, a young vibe, and a location that is in easy reach of the central sights, the well-priced Social Hub (formerly The Student Hotel) is not just for students. Occupying an entire corner block on the ring road that circles the west of the city center, the spot burst onto the scene in 2018. The 19th-century building (20,000 square meters of ex-office space incorporating a spacious courtyard garden ) houses both long-term student accommodation and hotel rooms whose keen prices attract a real mix of savvy backpackers, older independent travelers, families, and hip young business folk. The bars and restaurants also attract locals who don’t want to battle with the traffic and parking problems in the centro storico. The neighborhood sits northwest of the city center, an area of imposing 19th century palazzi (mostly converted into business premises), swirling traffic, and few residents, but it’s only two tram stops from Santa Maria Novella train station from where there is easy access to everything you will want to see and do." - Nicky Swallow, Erica Firpo

Cibrèo Caffè

Cafe · San Niccolo

"Il Cibrèo Caffè è più di un semplice bar nel cuore di Sant’Ambrogio a Firenze: è un luogo di incontri, in cui il calore e la genuinità dell’accoglienza fiorentina del suo proprietario Giulio Picchi, si confondono con l’atmosfera bohèmienne dei bistrot parigini, creando un ambiente unico e non rintracciabile altrove in città. Il locale è aperto tutto il giorno: comincia al mattino con l’odore del caffè e delle brioche calde appena sfornate che permeano l’aria, e prosegue fino a tarda sera, offrendo un menù stagionale e gustoso che si adatta sapientemente allo scorrere della giornata."
