Few cities can rival Florence as the cultural capital of the world; it is the intellectual centre of literature, art, architecture, and learning; a magnificent monument to the Renaissance. Astride the Arno that runs through the heart of the city, is the world-famous Ponte Vecchio. Standing on the south bank nearby and overlooking The Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo and the Florentine campaniles, is the Hotel Lungarno where your own 'Room with a view' surpasses all others in the city. Following its own renaissance, the rooms in the Lungarno are luxurious, not to say dramatic, and splendidly appointed. In the Borgo San Jacopo Ristorante, the enchantment continues as you dine on fresh seafood and local cuisine whilst gazing at the city's reflected glories in the Arno's waters. The hotel, has been famous for many years for its great character and tremendous hospitality. A palace in miniature awaits your pleasure.

My husband and I are self-professed art buffs, and one of our favorite getaway cities is Florence. Our home base here is the lovely Hotel Lungarno (owned by the Ferragamo family), on the banks of the Arno River and just a stone's throw from II Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery. Between the rooms and corridors, you'll find more than 600 original works by 20th-century painters. The guestrooms themselves are delightful, adorned with fine furnishings and soothing colors and fabrics. Don't miss dinner at Borgo San Jacopo restaurant, where authentic Italian specialties are served. |
