Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Not in the historic centre — The Galluzzo – Certosa district is outside the main tourist area, so expect to rely on the bus or a car to reach Florence's core attractions.
- 2-star simplicity — Don't expect luxury amenities like a full restaurant or spa; the focus here is on a comfortable, homely stay at a budget price.
- Check-out is early — Check-out is at 10:00, which might feel tight for a leisurely morning before heading out.
