Booking.com is awesome! Everyplace I reserve is a uniquely different experience.
We have returned to Florence to see the Pitti Palace and Bobboli Gardens and shop at the San Lorenzo Market (a girl can’t have too many scarves).
But we wanted a quiet place out of town yet on the bus route.
We are currently residing in an ancient tower! Circa 1120 a.d. and right on the Arno River. It was for defense and was inhabited by guards or Medici soldiers. It has been incorporated into a B & B and we lucked out with the Tower Room.
We squeeze up an enclosed circular staircase and use our skeleton key to let ourselves into the all stone lookout. The Arno rushing by sounds like Niagra Falls. The bathroom is several steps down on a different level.
Yes, middle ages improved with indoor plumbing.
And what do you say to Steve at bed time? Night,Night,Knight!!!
Going to Florence during Holy Week, during Spring break is like going to Disneyland on their busiest day. INSANE. 
Lost each other, lost our tempers, lost our minds. Gelato is almost the universal panacea!
