Firenze

Two Days in Florence

After a wonderful week in Umbria and Tuscany, we head north to spend a couple of days in beautiful Florence before flying home.  It was a 90 minute drive from our Passagnano sul Trasemino villa to Florence airport, where we dropped of our rental car and took taxi into the city.

Our home for the next two nights was Il Tornabuoni, a Hyatt property.

Small hotel with small rooms although I did manage to secure a Globalist "suite" upgrade for our stay.

With a nice city view.

Pleasant roof top terrace bar just down the hall from our room.

While Mrs. SFO777 relaxed in our suite, I headed out to explore the neighborhood.

Two blocks away from our hotel is the Arno.

Lunchtime a short 3 minute walk from the hotel, at Ristorante Enoteca Strozzi.  Great food, ambience and wonderful service.

Beautiful sunset from our rooftop terrace.
