Fireworks in Florence

Ladies, what better way to spend a romantic getaway than to head to Florence? If you're not spending your waking moments nestled in a sumptuous retreat, do the next best thing and stay at Villa San Michele. Conveniently located minutes away from the main galleries, sightseeing and shopping that annually make the city a world-class destination, this glorious 15th century former monastery (in nearby Fiersole) offers top-notch service, breathtaking vistas and an understated ambiance guaranteed to satisfy the most discriminating of tastes. With only 46 rooms and an outdoor restaurant (pictured above) gently caressing the rolling hills of Tuscany, what more could a girl ask for?
