I stayed at Bellavista for a in July when I ended up getting stuck in Florence because of train strikes. I chose this hotel because it is near the train station and it looked like one of the more smaller and less expensive option. I just walked in and asked if they had a room and was so glad that they did. It was just 40 euros for the night which was very reasonable. The owners were so kind. The man working was an older gentleman and he was so excited to show me the the reason they called the hotel "bellavista." Although my room did not have a direct head on view of the Duomo, it was pretty darn close. It was a great value and I will definitely consider staying here in my future visits to Florence.
