I disagree. Florence is too compact of a city to deal with shuttle buses. There is no reason to stay outside the city for such a short visit. If you have to stay at a Starwood property (and centally located Westin and the soon-to-open St Regis are too expensive) then I suppose the Sheraton isn't a terrible option. However, Florence is filled with decent options right in the center...
