Bed and Breakfast Tornabuoni View is a B&B on Via del Parione, a narrow street between Via de’ Tornabuoni and the Arno. It is five minutes’ walk from Ponte Vecchio, so it suits you if you want to do almost all your sightseeing without taking any transport.
Location and getting around
From the door you reach Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi and Piazza della Signoria in about a 5-minute walk. The Duomo (Florence Cathedral) and Palazzo Pitti, across the river, are about 10 minutes away. If you arrive by train, Santa Maria Novella station is also about 10 minutes’ walk, a distance that is fine with a wheeled suitcase.
