Florence-Firenze
Places to Stay:
Lungarno Suites best place we stayed at - part of the Ferragamo family's hotels, spacious, modern, beautifully decorated
Hotel Continentale also a Ferragamo hotel – right next to the Ponte Vecchio (extremely convenient), gorgeous view of the Arno, intimate, hipster hotel
Places to Eat:
Il Latini our favorite. Try the ribollita and the stracciata. Reservations highly recommended, as it attracts lots of locals as well as tourists.
Rivoire since 1872, sidewalk cafe great for people watching. Try their very rich hot cioccolatta.
