About

Hotel Careggi

Hotel Careggi sits in the Careggi–Rifredi district, about a 10-minute drive from Piazza del Duomo. It's a straightforward 3-star: soundproofed rooms, free Wi-Fi throughout, a garden, and a bar. The hotel is smoke-free and has a 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and express check-in/out.

What sets it apart is practicality. There's public parking on site, and guests consistently mention the friendly, helpful staff. The famous 'best pizza in Italy' (per several reviews) is next door, and Firenze Rifredi train station is roughly 800 metres away, making day trips to Pisa or Lucca easy.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not central — You're a 10-minute drive or bus ride from Piazza del Duomo, so expect to plan for transport into the historic core.
  • Wi-Fi costs extra in rooms — One reviewer notes Wi-Fi in rooms is €3 for 24 hours, though the hotel lists free Wi-Fi throughout.
  • Simple rooms — Rooms are described as 'simple but practical'—fine for a short stay, but not luxurious.
  • Mixed dining ratings — Breakfast gets decent but not outstanding marks; some guests found it 'pretty decent' rather than exceptional.
