Where to Stay in a B and B in Florence, Italy

Florence has bed and breakfast inns ranging from inexpensive to luxurious. Staying in a B and B is a good way to meet local people and have personal attention. A B and B can also be more economical than a hotel although they may not have as many amenities.
