When is the best time to book a hotel in Florence?
The best time to book a hotel in Florence is typically three to six months in advance, especially if you're planning to visit during the peak seasons of spring (April–June) and early fall (September–October). These months offer the best weather and coincide with major events, which means hotels can fill up quickly and prices may rise. For the best deals, consider visiting in the off-season (November to March) — you'll find lower rates, fewer crowds, and easier access to top attractions. Booking early not only secures better rates, but also gives you more options when choosing from Florence’s best hotels, whether you’re after a MICHELIN-recommended luxury stay or a charming boutique guesthouse.
