Destination...Florence —
Right in front of the hotel is Palazzo Strozzi, a masterpiece of Florentine Renaissance architecture, and just around the corner is the magnificent red, green and white marble Duomo with Geiotto's campanile in front of it, from the top of which visitors can enjoy a truly glorious views over the ancient city.
A little further on is Piazza della Signoria, next to which is Palazzo Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most important museums of Italian art in the world. A visit to the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella, Ponte Vecchio - with its ancient jewellery shops and goldsmiths – as well as Palazzo Pitti and the magnificent Boboli Gardens, is equally thrilling.
