If you watched how fast they are going thru those small streets! OMG! Amazing!


So we're at the Four Seasons here in Firenze... and the one we are at is an Noble estate and a Convent... with fabulous gardens between (almost a park actually). They have absolutely kept the feel and look of the old even in the inside with the elegance etc -- but of course all the "workings" are brand new.


They would NEVER do this in the U.S.!




The lobby/bar area!








The entrance at the Convent building where we are.










Your "park" (walled) between the two buildings...
