25hours Hotel Florence Piazza San Paolino
If you plan on staying in Florence while visiting Italy we recommend 25hours hotel for your stay. We love this brand and this new hotel did not disappoint when we stayed in June 2022. It is funky and eclectic, this 25hours theme is heaven and hell so make sure you scope out the photos before to pick your poison.
Osteria Pastella
Do not skip this restaurant. Get the truffle pasta from the parmesan wheel you will not regret it. We recommend a reservation.
