However if you wish to use the Gate Hotel Florence for more tourist intentions rather than commercial then we also have an abundance of choices to offer… FLORENCE The Gate Hotel Florence is positioned close to the A1 motorway at the exit for the north of Florence. This fantastic location means that guests can utilize the great transport links to visit a whole host of cities and not just the art abundant city of Florence. For example, places within easy reach by car include Prato, Pistoia, the Chianti wine region, Lucca, Pisa and Siena. The centre of Florence lies just 12 km or 15/20 minutes from our 4 star hotel. Florence has some of Italy’s best art and museums with the Galleria d’Uffizi and the Duomo being of particular beauty and attraction. Of course there are also many hidden wonders in Florence with our particular suggestions being the natural history museum La Specola, and the fashion museums - The Ferragamo Museum and The Gucci Museum. PISA Labelled as the city of miracles due to its three seemingly miraculous features of the cathedral, the baptistery and the bell tower (better known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa), Pisa is less than an hour away from the Gate Hotel by car. Lesser known that these breathtaking monuments however are the views visible when strolling along the banks of the River Arno or witnessing the New Year celebrations held on the feast of the Annunciation – 25th March. PRATO Situated about the same distance from the hotel as Florence is, Prato is a small medieval town which is a treasure trove of culture and mercantile history. Features of particular note there include the 1000 year old cathedral of Santo Stefano, the Pecci Museum of contemporary art, the Prato Textile Museum and the Emperor’s Castle – the only example in north-central Italy of Swabian architecture. CHIANTI WINE REGION If not the most romantic of the areas surrounding the Gate Hotel Florence it is certainly the most delicious and bountiful. Breathtakingly beautiful the Chianti castles that served as the battleground between the competing republics of Siena and Florence offer fantastic views and historical perspective. Perhaps the best views to be had however are from the Mountain of St Michael crowned with its Neo-Romanesque church and national park that look down on the valleys containing the Chianti vineyards and cellars. SIENA Considered to be one of the most enchanting cities of Tuscany, Siena offers a timeless magic of grand medieval architecture, and indications of past glories. Sights not to be missed include the Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral of Siena, the Torre del Mangia and of course the famous horse racing event of the Palio. LUCCA Once a Roman settlement constructed almost 200 years before Christ, it boasts the only walls in all of Europe that have remained intact surrounding the perimeter of the settlement. The medieval cathedral of San Martino further adds to this ancient charm and this contrasts well with the Lucca Summer Festival that offers a host of musical concerts and comedian performances. A truly memorable city. The Gate Hotel Florence lies truly at the gateway to all of the treasures of Tuscany. Take advantage of our fantastic location and book a stay with us today using our official online booking system and enjoy the lowest possible rates. PISTOIA Pistoia lies around 20 minutes (30km) away by car and is a charming medieval city that became established around the 16th century. In addition to the valuable artistic and historic heritage, Pistoia offers an impressive cathedral and central town square built around the turn of the first millennium AD. There is also an enjoyable Blues Festival each summer that hosts leading international artists in addition to Pistoia zoo which is home to over 400 animals from Arctic penguins to Asian tigers!
