We are staying in Florence (Firenze) for about a week – renting a lovely apartment for the same cost as a hotel room and absolutely loving it! We’ve spent so much less on food by cooking most of the time and have really made use of the washing machine in the hot, sweaty heat of the summer. As much as I don’t mind hand-washing clothes, machines are even better!
The place we are staying is on the top floor (four flights) and located right by the Piazza della Liberta. It is a former convent which ended at the turn of the twentieth century and it was recently renovated to reveal some of the original fixtures and roofing – beautiful. I’m posting pics because we have spent a relaxing week in Florence – giving ourselves the time to take it easy and get out of the heat when we need to (100 degrees in the shade anyone?). Yuck!
Today we took a bus up to the Piazzale Michelangelo – an amazing vista overlooking the city. Here we saw yet another David, this time in bronze. Kind of looked like he had mussed himself! 😉
Here are some of the shots we took from the Piazzale and also from the Ponte Vecchio – enjoy!
