A Soothing Central Spa

If you can’t splurge for one of Florence’s upscale spa hotels, book a session at Soulspace, Via Sant’Egidio 12 (www.soulspace.it; 055-200-1794). This calming spot has a heated pool and hammam (Turkish bath), and a range of modern spa treatments for women and men including aromatherapy massages. Day spa packages cost from 50€ upward.

INEXPENSIVE

Locanda Orchidea Over several visits to Florence, this has been a go-to inn for stays on a tight budget. Rooms range over two floors of a historic palazzo—the best of them facing a quiet, leafy rear courtyard. Furniture is a fun mix of mismatched flea-market finds and secondhand pieces; tiled floors and bold print wallpaper and fabrics keep up the charmingly outdated feel. Note that bathrooms are shared (although they have good water pressure), and there is no air conditioning or onsite breakfast. But the price, value, character, and welcome is hard to beat in this price bracket.

Borgo degli Albizi 11 (close to Piazza San Pier Maggiore). www.hotelorchideaflorence.it. 055-248-0346. 7 units. 45€–75€ double. Bus: C1, C2, 14, or 23. Amenities: Wi-Fi (free).
