The Helvetia & Bristol in Florence
Situated near the cathedral, the Piazza della Republicca and the Via Tornabuoni, this historical corner house has everything a high-class city hotel requires. An atmosphere of Italian elegance and history wafts through its rooms; striped silk wallpaper, renaissance furniture and brightly-polished cherry wood make a perfect backdrop for a stay in Italy’s cultural metropolis. In the hotel’s restaurant, Hostaria Bibendum, Chef Enzo Pettè conjures up delicious Tuscan gourmet dishes in the cozy dining room. Alternatively, summer guests can eat on the patio bordering the small nearby square. A hot tip for hobby cooks: The kitchen chef himself gives highly-recommended Italian cooking lessons in the hotel’s kitchen.
