Ciao PaulvW,
<Blush> Thank you for the compliments, you're very kind. Just hoping to be helping to those that need sorting out what to see, do and other useful details when planning a vacation to Tuscany and Florence :-).
A whole week and keeping it safe requires that you not park where there is street cleaning or that closes down. I just updated the parking in Florence article - http://www.visitflorence.com/florenc...-florence.html and saw that daily parking in the lots has gone up to 20 euros per day. And I'd actually take the Galluzzo parking out of the equation because there is street parking during the week, you'd have to head back out to move it.
I am not sure whether the free parking at the Coop in Scandicci off Viale Nenni closes down, whether a car left overnight for a whole week would be evident... so I'd personally select a paid parking - would 12 euros per day sound ok?
I'm thinking of the one on Via del Sansovino, here's the part that is of interest for you:
The closest parking lot to Florence along the tram can be found on Via del Sansovino, with the "Sansovino" tram stop right in front. This is a paid parking lot but a better deal that the ones closer to the center. It is open 24 hours a day and costs 1 euro for the first hour, 0.50 euro every 30 minutes after. Maximum daily rate is 12 euro. (Via del Sansovino 53).
That lot is right in front of a tram stop that brings you into the SMN train station so you're in the center (not sure where your lodging or hotel is at). Hope this information is useful!!
