Our favorite hotel in Florence is the Hotel Hermitage. I am not sure if it has larger units but it does have everything else. The location is excellent - right at the corner of the Ponte Vecchio overlooking the Arno within a block of the Uffizi. It is small, with soundproof rooms and the roof terrace for breakfast is gorgeous with beautiful views of the rooftops of Florence and the Duomo. I would recommend only the rooms on an upper floor overlooking the Arno. It is a three star &very fairly pricey.
