In a move announced in May 2026, Italy has broadened its regulatory framework to impose restrictions on short-term tourist rentals beyond the historic core of Florence. This development marks a notable extension of existing urban travel policies aimed at managing tourism-related accommodation throughout the city.
The updated regulations specifically limit the availability of short-term rental properties in areas outside Florence’s well-known historic district. Travelers seeking short-term rental accommodations in these zones should be aware that new rules may affect options and availability when planning their stays.
