I'm not a person who ever goes clubbing, but a friend and I met a couple who ended up offering to…read moreget us all a private table at YAB. They paid € 250.00 for it and this included a bottle of Smirnoff, some ice, and different pitchers of mixers. I left my coat at the table and there was a bouncer standing next to it watching the table the whole time. Despite this, my phone was STOLEN out of my coat. The bouncer allowed our table to smoke inside the club which was cool I suppose unless you are allergic to smoke. I went to the washroom together with my friend, and she literally got PULLED out of the stall WHILE I was on the toilet because I guess they thought we were doing cocaine in there together. The floor is extremely sticky, I assume because drinks are spilled on the ground. This would make sense considering the place is filled to the brim with teetering drunk youths. While dancing, your feet will stick to the ground. My boots were very dirty by the end of the night. The dance floor is a good size and the lighting is nice, but that sticky floor puts a damper on things. While we were dancing every guy there was trying to grab at us and I turned around to some dude just dancing and holding a handful of my hair. Talk about creepy. At one point, a girl for some reason pushed my friend into a wall and she hurt her wrist. This is probably ubiquitous behavior at clubs, but I don't really know. It shocked me for sure. The music was a solid 3/10. Again, the worst and most astonishing part of this whole night was my phone. A bouncer was watching my coat, and my phone was still stolen out of it. Honestly, if you go here don't bring any valuables.

The Garden is stunning, with sculptured boxwoods, roses blooming, water features and those ubiquitous ceder trees. The room was gorgeous, comfortable, quiet. I loved the Eicher 3-dimensional tile in the entry way. The La Duchessa Restaurant was memorable with several Tuscan menu options. All freshly prepared, beautiful to look at and very tasty. Service exceptional. Very good Tuscan wine selections by the glass and bottle. Impressive breakfast buffet included in the room price. Fresh fruits, pastries, meats, cheeses, breads, hot coffee, tea, juices all on a buffet for you to enjoy. Everyone working here spoke very good English and did everything they could to be helpful, kind and answer questions. An on-call Shuttle service runs to a couple of plazas where you have access to the historic center of Florence. A most enjoyable stay.

Founded in the late 18th century as a teaching collection, it evolved into one of Italy's most important art institutions You slowly move through the gallery of Renaissance paintings and plaster models. You curiosity begins to build as you anticipate viewing this famous David. Quite impressive...the statue's size, precision details, and sculpture expertise lives you in awe. The Accademia's smaller size allows for a more intimate experience. It highlights Michelangelo's works as well as adding meaningful context.

You cannot visit Florence without visiting Galleria dell'Accademia to see Michelangelo's David…read more Though I had a tour guide, I felt like the pace was too slow. It's a great museum, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather beat the crowds to see David, and then take my time strolling through all the other works of art. Seeing 17' of David in person is unreal-- a human made this out of rejected marble. The magnitude of David's height and attention to detail is incredible and the lighting under a skylight highlights every vein and definition of muscle even more so. If you're looking for a deep dive art history lesson, I'd recommend using AI. Note: try to book skip-the-line tickets in advance. If you're unable to, you can try to book through a third party booking system such as Viator, but you'll be paying more.

Downstairs is the marketplace. Upstairs is the food hall…read more I bought a TON of dried pasta seasoning, risotto, truffle sauce, limoncello, parmesan cheese, and probably a bunch of other things to take home for myself and as gifts. Here's some really good advice I wish someone would have given me: 1. The limoncello is cheaper here than places I found north of here. 2. Skip the pasta seasoning OR look very closely that there are NO BUGS in there. I bought a few and had to throw them away. I found one bug in one of the packages. Removed the bug and put the rest in a ziplock because I brought this home all the way from Italy so I'm gonna freaking eat it. But then weeks later, there were a ton of bugs trapped in the bag. SO FREAKING GROSS! So I wish I could go back in time and NOT buy it. 3. Mushroom risotto was so good. I wish I bought more of that and less of the black risotto which is the squid ink. It lacked flavor. 4. Parm cheese - I found one stall that offered to cut my purchase into 4 blocks, then vacuum sealed it for me. I traveled Europe for 1.5 weeks unrefrigerated. When I finally got home, I put it in the fridge. 9 months later - it's still good! 5. If you want to try a bunch of Italian food, go to the food court. The lampredotto was snack size and delicious if you like intestines. The expensive truffle pasta was okay in my opinion (aka overrated). And I tried the pizza which was delicious!
