Florence, the Renaissance capital of the world, with famous sons like Leonardo, Michelangelo and Dante, remains one of Europe's greatest treasures. Turn a corner and you're instantly transported back centuries by lovely piazzas and dazzling sculptures. From the impressive 12th century Duomo, with its striped bands of Carerra marble, to the magnificent "David" to the Uffizi Museum and Pitti Palace, no city in Italy can match Florence's artistic wealth.
Hotel Lungarno -- A Room with a View
In awe of their images on their Web site, I knew Hotel Lungarno is where I wanted to stay. Situated along the Arno River, at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio Bridge (the world's largest jewelry store), Hotel Lungarno has the ideal location for exploring the famous Florentine sights.
Listed among the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Hotel Lungarno offers 73 spacious, pampering rooms that recall the era of an aristocratic Italian home. Each room is a unique blend of energy and charm, with a warm, inviting ambience, brought on by the magic of the river below. Breakfast is elegantly served in the library. Guests can also use the exercise/sauna facilities at the nearby Continentale, another Lungarno Group hotel. Or, shop in Lungarno Details, offering many of the fine furnishings and accessories from the hotels. After a delightful day of touring, Hotel Lungarno proved to be an equally inspiring oasis in the middle of the city! For reservations, visit www.hotellungarno.com READ MORE
