I have just returned from four days in Florence with my mother and daughters. We were looking forward to seeing Letizia's apartment and we weren't disappointed. It is glorious and in the most brilliant location, we were very comfortable indeed. Letizia and her family made us feel very welcome and I have no hesitation in recommending the apartment to anyone travelling to Florence, which is actually the most beautiful place I have ever been. It is opposite the Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli gardens which rise up to a breathtaking view of Florence. I also recommend Piazzale Michelangelo which also has a panoramic view of Florence. Also up there is The Garden of the Roses, stunning and the scent is intoxicating. We did also have a horsedrawn carriage ride round the streets. It was €50 for 25 minutes but I think very worth it. On our last night we had dinner in the Palazzo Vechio which actually is where we got our carriage ride ( a beautiful horse called Eidelweiss and a very lovely driver). Afterward s there was an opera singer in the Palazzo and we sat on the wall and listened to her and her accompanyist. Wonderful acoustics which made the hairs on my arms stand up. I think you can tell that I loved it. Go, you won't be disappointed either by the apartment or the place.
