Our country and 'rich in art and history of Florence and' without doubt one of the most 'richest and most' beautiful, absolutely worth seeing!
Florence, 'a city' easy to reach by train, by booking well in advance you can also find offers, please do not recommend the self 'is not easy to find parking!
As for housing I suggest you try a B & B, we had found a hotel near the station but was not very good 'and also in general the accommodation in Florence I found them quite expensive, much + in Rome, also because' the 'supply and' small relative to capital.
To eat will not have problems, try to avoid restaurants "tourist" who are only plucked instead try taverns / restaurants where you can enjoy the real Tuscan food, perhaps ask, as we did, to find a guide on one of vs visits to museums or palaces, will give you the straight right, will not regret it ;-)
The city 'is well worth visiting: the Cathedral, Baptistery, Giotto's Tower, the Palazzo della Signoria, the Boboli Gardens, Ponte Vecchio, the various churches, there are also less famous but really very beautiful, and more. For the Uffizi we preferred to book in advance (http://www.firenzemusei.it/servizi/index.html), so 'to avoid the queue that could be really long. We had the chance to choose, not knowing this, the period when there was a week of cultural goods (they tell us when we phone. For booking, to check try to visit the website of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage http://www.beniculturali.it/mibac/export/MiBAC/index.html) so we only paid for the reservation but no ticket, a nice savings!
Florence and 'all things to discover, visited on foot (we took the right bus to Piazzale Michelangelo where you have sweeping views of the city' from the top), and 'really one of the city' + beautiful in Italy.
