Rufina accommodation from NZ$168

You'd be mad to come to Rufina without seeing the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. The Hotel Villa Liana and Hotel Il Granduca are within an easy walking distance of Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Check out the Collina as well as the Villa Boni. The Collina is positioned 15 kilometres from the heart of Rufina. The Villa Boni is positioned 30 kilometres away. Two more hotels and apartment options are the Giovanni da Verrazzano and the Casa al Sole.

After you've spent time in Rufina, why don't you tour a bit further afield? The Tuscany region has plenty of other things to offer visitors. Check out the ruins and castles in Tuscany, or grab your daypack and admire its rural landscapes and beaches. Or join the locals in the snowboarding and skiing while you're here.

Everyone knows Australians are pretty chilled, so consider extending your stay and check out the Fashion Valley, Abbazia di Vallombrosa and The Mall Luxury Outlet, which you'll find in Reggello, 14 kilometres to the south of Rufina. Reggello hotels and accommodations include the Villa Pitiana and Albergo La Foresta. 16 kilometres to the west of Rufina, you can also stay at Fiesole, which is home to the Residenza Strozzi and Castello di Montalbano. The Villa Medici, Villa Le Balze and San Francesco Monastery are popular sites to see for those visiting Fiesole.

Before you say "catch ya later" to Florence, ensure you catch some sport. Visit Tennis Club to the north of Rufina. Those wishing to find a room or apartment nearby can choose from the Bed & Breakfast Sant'Eurosia or the Appartamenti Stoppato.

Peretola Airport is 25 kilometres from the centre of Rufina. If you choose to stay close by, you can easily book a room at the Hilton Florence Metropole Hotel or the Hotel Astor.
