The best restaurant I've been to in Florence by FAR. It's hidden in a garden with gorgeous lights…read moreand an amazing atmosphere. The restaurant itself is in a renovated greenhouse with lots of exotic plants throughout the restaurant. Great music and it is open until 2 am so the later it gets the more it turns into a club! The food was also incredible every single thing we got was 10/10 amazing. Great cocktails too and the owner was so sweet and gave us free drinks! Would highly highly recommend!

Flo is pretty fun, ESP if you want to party under the stars. We came on a Thursday night around…read moremidnight I think and there was no line or cover to get in. They do operate a drink card system and each drink was 10 euro. The crowd was def older and groups mostly kept to themselves. There is a small dance floor but don't expect anything from the DJ, he was pretty horrible. Pretty sure between the playlists we had on our iPhones we coulda put together a better set. A little disappointing. The best thing flo has going for it is the atmosphere: it's gorgeous and it's all outside. I would say the attire is trendy. Don't need to wear any skimpy bodycon here. Throw on some heels tho!

We attended a wedding here a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful time! The venue is stunning…read morewith a gorgeous setting for the ceremony, a spacious location for the reception, and a perfect dance room. The table decorations were beautifully done. I'm not sure if that was the venue or the bride's coordinator. The food served was excellent, and they did a good job of accommodating my gluten allergy, including providing gf pasta. Dessert, including the frosting of the wedding cake, was great and lots of fun. Music, both lived during the dinner and dj in the dance room, were great. Lovely location with a beautiful view. The only suggestion is that they should have had tents set up to shield guests from the murderous summer Italian sun. Sitting for an hour on 90-degree direct sunlight was less than pleasant.

We spent two nights at Hotel Lungarno, and were able to book it with points through The Edit, Chase…read moreTravel's curated collection of partner hotels. It was a fantastic hotel, and we got complimentary breakfast and a $100 property credit, which we used at the bar. We also got a room upgrade, which was a welcome surprise. I think our Chase membership helped, as did our travel dates--Tuesday and Wednesday nights in mid-November. The location was ideal for our brief stay in Florence, literally on the Arno River and right by the Ponte Vecchio. Great views and we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. Service was excellent, warm and responsive. The concierge booked us both Galleria dell'Accademia tickets and lunch at a popular restaurant. We didn't end up dining at Borgo San Jacopo, the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant, but we did make good use of the more casual Picteau. We had breakfast there both mornings we were in town, and cocktails both nights. The hotel was very attractive, with a clean, classic, slightly nautical aesthetic. Lots of white and royal blue, with leather accents and a wealth of modern art on the walls. We stayed in a studio suite with a river view, and it was comfortable and pretty, with a committed, appealing aesthetic. There were a few points of awkwardness that made me think the hotel spent more time on design than on the practical, boring elements. Not enough outlets, and only one adaptor for the room; a shower that was bizarrely high off the ground; a TV that flicked on automatically at full volume every time we entered the room and turned on the lights. These are minor quibbles, though, and we were overall quite happy with our stay. As a bonus, the hotel is owned by the Ferragamo family, and guests get privilege cards that include, among other offers, a 10% discount at the Salvatore Ferragamo flagship store. I took advantage of this to buy a pair of shoes. If you're looking for a nice place to stay in Florence, I'd highly recommend Hotel Lungarno. This goes double if you can book through Chase, but the hotel checks every box even without extra perks.

My wife and I have been planning a trip for well over a year to visit Europe. We had an itinerary…read morethat started in Rome, to experience the Holy Doors, and end in Munich for Oktoberfest. Where to go in the middle, where to stay? As members of Hilton Honors, where to stay was narrowed to their properties. Where to go was based on historical and areas that interested us. We are so happy we chose to stay in Florence, the Lungarno, right on the banks of the Arno River, near the Ponte Vecchio was situated so close to everything we wanted to do in walking distance. The staff here is beyond welcoming. We arrived earlier than check in, so they held our bags as we made our way into the heart of the city. We wondered back at check in time and had a drink. We cannot express our surprise and gratitude the the hotel, for they upgraded us to an incredible room. The trip was a pilgrimage to Rome, and a celebration of my 60th birthday and our 19th wedding anniversary. We were taken to the tower suite, A multi story room in an 12th century stone tower! Words alone cannot describe what is behind a standard looking hotel door. Walking thru a stone archway upon entering leads down some steps to a 4 poster bed and then around to a set of stairs leading up to a sitting area, near the top of a brick vaulted ceiling. Enough about the room though, we had dinner outside at one of the few places that have on/ over water dinning that we saw. Spectacular service and a romantic setting sure made our anniversary special. Breakfast could have been had out doors as well, but we chose the inside dining due to the early morning chill. A wide variety of food is available, buffet style. The hotel also houses the owners art collection and among the dozens of pieces is a Picasso! Our only issue with the property is that we didn't allow for more time at this incredible Small Luxury Hotel. Thank you
