Hotel Recommendations for Italy Over New Year's

In Venice we like Pensione Gueratto; in Rome our favorite hotel closed, but their sister hote Du Tori has gotten good reviews; in Florence Hotel California. Everything in all three cities is walkable from those hotels -- except perhaps for a few places in Rome. You should be able to google all three and get more specific information.

hey hey Lem
you are planning this trip late during the busiest time of year during holidays, same places everyone else wants to travel to meaning extremely crowded with long lines and hopefully tickets to attractions still out there, a very very low budget for 4 people. where are you traveling from USA, Canada, Europe?
how old are teenagers and may need 2 hotel rooms since very small rooms. would stay away from airbnb's, with 10 days and 4 moves, checkin is 3-4pm and checkout 10-11am.
are you flying multi-city (arrive venice depart rome), jet lag is real, how many days in each city, travel by train between cities and are they booked/reserved? hardly anytime to see things in each place.
hostelworld.com
place your city, dates, # of people. read fine print (charge for linens, curfews, shared bathrooms, in city center (look at map)
booking.com
same at hostel world, if available email hotel if better rate or more rooms available then listed on website. good luck

In Florence Relais & Maison Grand Tour https://www.florencegrandtour.com/ is an interesting property with larger family friendly rooms and even a suite. It is 2 blocks from The Academia, near the Mercato and 10 or so minutes from core of historic downtown. The owner lives on site.

As long as you are inside the walls it impossible to be too far away from anything in Siena.

In Venice B&B Corte Campana https://www.cortecampana.com/ is our favorite BnB (along with a lot of people here) but may or may not be the kind of place you're looking and they would need to have 2 rooms open which makes it harder.

All of the places you list have many options so it will be a process of sifting for the place that is best for you.

Have a great trip,

Thank You everyone for your advice and recommendations - I really appreciate it! In my post, I should have mentioned that we're an American family living in southern Germany and will be driving to Italy (mainly due to flight or train costs at this late stage time-wise). So as a result we're 100% flexible regarding which cities we visit and when, although this will be our first time visiting Italy since moving to Germany a year ago. We do not plan on driving into any of the cities we're visiting; rather, plan is to park our car in a garage at edge of each city for duration of each visit.

hey hey Lem
makes so much more sense LOL, coming from germany. hope you're loving germany with beer, bratwurst and many cities to visit.
friend moved to spain about 12+ years ago to teach english as second language, still there, married his spanish partner, still teaching, visiting many countries and loving it.
