The Tower at the Hotel Torre Guelfa

The building that houses this hotel was an old palace with ancient winding steps leading to a two-tier tower overlooking Florence. The hotel put cafe tables on both tiers and served wine and canapes in the evening. In this photo, Marti is descending the steps that lead to the uppermost tower. The view from either tower was wonderful and we got some nice panamoramic photos of Florence from above. It was equally as beautiful at sunset, but also equally as crowded - we couldn't get a table.
