We stayed in the Florence Sofitel. It was in a great location, a real relief from the Novotels.
We had to get two separate rooms (no connecting rooms at all in this hotel) but they were next door. Me and the girls got a Room With A View (well if you craned your neck around the roof sticking out);
The boys had a little less romantic view;
Here is the view from the front entrance;
First, let me say that Florence is not overrated. It is beautiful. What it isn't is kid-friendly. Scenery, museums and crowds kind of quash this. Lots of pizza and pasta doesn't wholly make up for it but help.
We did the open top bus tour. We've done this in many cities and it's always a hit. A good way to see what there is, to measure what the kids would like and not have to drag them around. We were brave and took upstairs seats even with threatening (and sometimes a bit of) rain. Daniel stayed downstairs.
