Less than one kilometer from the heart of Florence, just a 15 minute walk, 10 minute bus ride or 5 minutes by car (Hotel Jane has its own private garage for motorists), Hotel Jane is off the beaten track, in an authentically Florentine location. One of the easiest to reach 3-star hotels in Florence from the A1 highway (Firenze Sud exit) and most convenient to the Stadio Comunale (5 minutes by car) and Campo di Marte sports facilities.
Just a 3 minute walk from Hotel Jane takes you to the bustling Via Gioberti, where dazzling store and boutique lights and displays thrill shoppers. You can pleasantly spend your evenings at the multitude of local restaurants, taverns and wine bars serving Florentine specialties and renowned Tuscan wines near the hotel.
Hotel Jane is also convenient to Oltrarno: in just 10 minutes you're on the Piazzale Michelangiolo hill where you can take in the splendid view of all of Florence and visit the San Miniato al Monte church, a magnificent example of Florentine Romanticism with the characteristic two-toned marble facade.
Also within 10 minutes is Piazza del Duomo, the historic and artistic heart of Florence (take bus 14 that stops just around the corner from Hotel Jane). From here, you can take your pick of the city's countless wonders: Santa Maria del Fiore (Cathedral of Florence) cloaked in colored marble like the Giotto bell tower and Baptistry; Piazza della Signoria, the Medieval Florence parlour; the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most beautiful and important art museums in the world; Ponte Vecchio lined with craft stalls, etc.
Don't miss Santa Croce, less than a 10 minute walk from Hotel Jane, the splendid Basilica famous for its incommensurable architectural and artistic value (the greatest Medieval and Renaissance artists and architects contributed in its creation), as well as for being the final resting place of great Italians including Niccolò Macchiavelli, Galileo Galilei and Michelangelo (remember "I Sepolcri di Ugo Foscolo").
