Florence
It is a pleasant hotel which is convenient for the autostrada and only about two km. from the city centre. It has a swimming pool (Celia did!) and tennis counts too! And a St. Bernard of a friendly disposition. Very quiet which is important to us as we live in the country.
But if you are spending a weekend in Florence, you may find that it is too far from the city centre.
We know Florence fairly well, so we didn't do too many of the tourist sites except for Santa Croce and the Science Museum. The latter has a wonderful collection of scientific instruments. Including Galileo's!
We marked the end of the holiday with a meal in Paoli, a restaurant with frescos in the centre. The guide said the atmosphere is brilliant. It was! But it also said the food was suspect. It wasn't! I had some of the best liver I'd had in years!
