Luggage storage at Florence airport

In early October, a group of 12 of us will be arriving in

Florence and we're wondering what the cab, or shuttle cost,

will likely be to go from the airport to the Hotel Pendini.

I’m coming in through Milan, picking up a rental car to drive around Piedmont. We fly in/out of Milan and dropping our rental car before a couple days before we fly back to avoid car return stress on the day we fly back.

Instead of heading to the city, it appears Omenga is the same distance from MXP as Milan city center and planning to spend last 2 nights there.

. Any advice on ease of getting a taxi to the airport? Or am i best to just add a day to Piedmont the stay at an airport area hotel the last day? I hate to be in an airport hotel, but not feeling like going into Milan at the end of the trip.

Thoughts?

We're hoping to spend close at least three weeks in Tuscany this coming fall. We'd like to spend several days in Florence and also rent a car for two weeks to see Tuscany. What car rental companies can you recommend for both reasonable price and reliability at the airport? Would it be better and more affordable to rent a car in the city rather than the airport?Thanks much for any answers.

Looking for a mid-range hotel in Florence for two nights in June. Would like clean, comfortable beds and breakfast included for myself, my husband and our 18 yr old son.

Anyone have opinions about the Hotel Unicorno vs the Hotel Paris? We will be coming and going to Florence on the train.

We are (hopefully) arriving on a Tuesday morning (hopefully) after a long day of flying. I doubt we will want to take public transit with so little sleep the prior night. Especially since this is a delayed 40th Anniversary trip and we have been planning on reasonably splurging.

There is a shuttle from the hotel for a surcharge. Before I commit to that I was wondering what would be the cost of a taxi from the airport to the Pantheon?

Thanks

Are there any Olbia hotels with complimentary (or reasonably-priced) airport and/or beach shuttles presently operating? Because of a flight cancellation, we now have to arrive a day earlier, and will have to return to the airport to pick up for our previously-reserved rental car. Hoping to find a hotel on or near a beach with a shuttle to return to the airport so that we won't have to incur these unforeseen expenses (can't amend our current car rental reservation to add a day as that would involve cancelling and starting over, and cars are pricing for more than double the rate we are paying already for 22 days). Thanks for any suggestions!!

Just a little tip for anyone looking at reasonably priced budget accompaniment in Florence ( *not easy!)

We booked into C Hotel diplomat for 5 days at around €50 euros per night with breakfast.

However, when we arrived we found it is closed at present, and there was a note on the door redirecting us to its sister hotel next door.

This is the ambasciatori hotel florence and it’s a much nicer hotel, where the rooms seem to go for well over double that.

I assume it’s temporary due to low numbers/ keeping costs down on running several hotels.

But it’s a nice little bonus for anyone on a lower budget and I can highly recommend it. Nice staff, great place, located right by the train station.

We also got a room upgrade to a larger room with a balcony view over the Duomo!

Thought I would share the luck for anyone looking at the meme to. Obviously can’t guarantee how long this will last.

Thanks again to all those who have helped with planning the trip so far :)

Our flight is to arrive at bergamo airport (BGY) at 21:45 and I saw some car rental desks are closed at around 23:00 and I'm not sure we will make it on time

Does anybody know of a car rental at BGY airport that provides an off hours pick up or stays open late ?

We are a ‘mature’ couple traveling to Italy with 11 nights open between Rome & Florence so decided to visit Sardegna in early September. Probably flying into Olbia & departing from Cagliari.

Enjoy white sandy beaches, crystal clear water (who doesn't?), swimming, drinking local wine & local food. Also realize that beaches in Sardegna are rocky.

Prefer to stay at hotels in town to walk to dinner and stroll around town at night. Will rent a car to drive to close beaches during the day, perhaps stay at a beach hotel for 2 or 3 nights if on a beautiful beach.

Any suggestions on itinerary - where to stay & for how many nights? Perhaps 3 locations with 11 nights? The more I read on this helpful forum, the more overwhelmed I become on where to stay.

San Teodoro, Orosei, Villasimius, Isola Carloforte? Departing from Cagliari; how many nights would you recommend staying there?

Will reserve rental car prior to arrival, as well as hotel 1st and last night. Should I make hotel reservations in advance for the rest of trip? September is a busy month and may be more so this year.

TYIA!

Training from Trieste to Florence in October. We have a 7 minute transfer in Prato. Has anyone traveled this route and made that short connection time? Traveling with 4 adults and luggage.

Just wondering if Platforms are close so to be able to make that connection? Also if we miss it, are we able to hop on another train to Florence with our same ticket?

Thanks!
