From the highway
take the exit Firenze Sud (if you come from the north, keep going to Rome to find the exit). At the traffic light a few minutes after the toll, turn left and go ahead on the main road for a few minutes, even when it turns slightly on the right at the traffic light in front of the Hotel Mediterraneo (Lungarno del Tempio turning in Viale G. Amendola), on your right side.
Pass on the square (Piazza Beccaria) with the medieval tower, at the second square (Piazzale Donatello) with a small historical cemetery, turn around the cemetery as you wished to go back.
Once you are on the other side of the cemetery, turn right (Via Alfieri) at the traffic light (directions to the hospital S. Maria Nuova and to the centre) and then: first to the right (via Giusti), first to the left (borgo Pinti), first to the right (via della Colonna), first to the left (via della Pergola).
Straight down to the end of the street, then right (entering in Via Sant’Egidio) and again the first to the right: you are arrived in via dei Servi. The Hilda is at the very end, on the other way hand, so, once at the STOP, at the corner with Via Alfani, turn right and then immediately left (Via dei Fibbiai), left (Piazza S.S.
