Florence Hotels with Pools

Florence is filled with art and culture so you could imagine that a hotel pool would seem like a frivolous addition. Yet when days of wandering the streets and soaking up this incredible city exhaust you there is nothing better than coming back to your hotel to lounge beside the pool with a drink. Florence isn't a large city so our Hotel Gurus have managed to find some truly central options complete with rooftop pools with gorgeous views of the Florence skyline. Plus several of Florence's best hotels with a pool are right beside the Arno river too.
