There is something truly extraordiary about the Italian city of Florence. This small city was once one of the most commercially powerful cities on earth. It shows with the incredible history found around each and every corner. Florence is well worth a visit.
There are many hotels in Florence, ranging from the classic to the ultra modern. However, a great way to enjoy the city is by renting one of the many Tuscany Houses that are available in the region.
By renting a villa, holidaymakers have a lot of autonomy to move about as they please. With self-catering kitchens, they also have the luxury of choosing if they do not actually want to eat out that night. Although, in Tuscany, they usually do. The kitchens are useful for breakfasts, anyway.
When visiting Florence, tourists should budget time to look at the Boboli Gardens, there are few in the world like it. Also, the Uffizi Gallery is a must, with so many extraordinary works of art, even the most artistically ambivalent will be amazed at the staggering display of historically important works. The building itself is a work of art, commissioned by the Medici family to serve as the administrative headquarters of their empire in the fifteenth century.
Florence is unlike any other city in the world. There is a history in the city which promotes a feeling of wonder. There is so much to see as well. It is a wonderful place.
