Hotel in Florence

8 February 2011

Ciao, tutti! Study Abroad has made reservations for us in Florence — we’ll be staying at the Hotel Lombardi, about 15 minutes from the Uffizi and the cathedral, according to its website.

Barring last-minute changes, the room division will be 5 twins, 1 triple (gentlemen, that’s probably yours….) and two singles (professorial dibs!). And best of all, it says it has wi-fi…!

And in case you’ve forgotten, we’ve rented the three floors of the gorgeous-looking Palazzo degli Angeli for the duration of our stay in Venice. Remember that it’s not a hotel but a bunch of apartments, so you won’t get maid and restaurant service while were in Venice.

Our next step will be to reserve the plane tickets and start buying museum and train tickets….
