Altri momenti favolosi dell’escursione di oggi a Altri momenti favolosi dell’escursione di oggi a Firenze!
Un sentito grazie a Michele Brici, direttore dell’Hotel Machiavelli Palace, per aver collaborato con me nell’organizzare un aperitivo così piacevole sulla terrazza panoramica questo pomeriggio. La vista, la compagnia e l’atmosfera erano assolutamente perfetti!

More fabulous moments from today’s Florence adventure!

But we made it through!
We ended the day in the best way possible — sipping aperitivi on the rooftop terrace of the Machiavelli Hotel, with stunning views and a much-needed breeze. 🍹🌇

The best part? My lovely friend Alessandra came in from Livorno to meet up with me! What a fun (and steamy!) day in Firenze! 💛
