We finally arrived in Florence, staying at the Villa San Michele, one of my all time favorite hotels. It's actually in Fiesole, a town on the hillside overlooking Florence, which is a charming town that's worth a trip in its own right, as you will soon see. We thought it would be a bit remote so we ended up splitting our stay with a more centrally located hotel. But Florence is just a pretty15 minute walk downhill or a shorter cab ride, so if I were to do it again, I'd stay here for the duration.
It's a fifteenth century villa designed by Michelangelo, so you can't get any more Florentine than that. Originally designed as a monastery, it later became a private house until transformed into the current boutique hotel.

ok, looks amazing.
Did you see the previous post, the one entitled Tuscany, about the flight delay, 9/11 etc? For some reason I keep posting it and then later it shows up as a draft rather than posted. I think it's fixed now but wanted to check.
yup, it's fixed. it was too whiney, so i didn't comment on it (kidding!)
