We were lucky enough to have the whole weekend in this glorious city. The weather was on our side and our hotel was in the perfect location. We even got free parking, which we heard is normally a nightmare. We pitched up to our hotel and had a parking space right outside the entrance for free, no idea what people are complaining about!!
We stayed in Hotel Beatrice, which was a lovely experience. Aside from our very charismatic owner, who resembled the 'Count' from Sesame Street, the rooms were typically Italian. Somehow when you are on holiday decor that you would never let grace your own home walls earns a new appreciation. The place had an authentic feel that was intrinsic to its makeup and made our stay, in my opinion, all the more romantic.
Within walking distance to all the sites and churches we had a spring in our step Saturday morning when we began our tour de Firenze! In short the place is magical. The art museums conjure a spiritual sensibility from the works of Michelangelo & Co. Although I was still pretty confused how all these guys in the sculptures would have been quite so ripped without an LA Fitness membership?! Maybe they had gyms in those days! Probably just hung around the baths lifting stones, tallying reps on the walls with chalk, driving the girls wild!!
Anyway there was too much to pack into here but all in all a fabulous time was had. City breaks are making a come back it seems!!
