We had a wonderful holiday in Florence during sweltering hot days.
The apartment was just perfect for the two of us. It was central to everything and had wonderful air conditioning, resulting in it being possible for us to take breaks from the heat and drop goodies back home when necessary.
The supermarket across the river was very convenient and had an extensive deli section. There was also a very well stocked fruit and veg shop just across the Trinita bridge.
The apartment was superb. Gorgeous marble surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom with modern appliances. Water pressure was great and the bed was comfortable.
Clementina was there to warmly welcome us and show us through the apartment as well as make local recommendations. Clementina also responded swiftly to messages and was efficient and very accommodating.
The highlight of the trip for us was a visit and audio tour of the Roberto Casamonti Collection which is in the Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni in Piazza Santa Trinita. - a two minute walk from the apartment. The art works are amazing and the audio tour was exceptional. It goes for over an hour and truly brought another dimension to the experience. We learnt so much.
I also visited the Salvatore Ferrgamo Museum which is currently hosting an exhibition on sustainability. There were some shoes there, but the main focus was on sustainability in the fashion industry. The was very well curated and well worth taking the time to view.
