Forget about maps, driving, and planning. Instead, wander ancient streets with someone special, stumbling upon bustling restaurant patios and inspiring architecture. When you’ve had your fill, return home to your historic apartment in the heart of Florence for a night-cap on the terrace and some people-watching over Piazza Santa Croce. Do it all again tomorrow, but this time, turn left instead of right for a whole new experience.

When you’re not out exploring Florence, the elegant interiors of Lion Nero will provide an iconic Italian ambiance. Decked out in Carrara marble, parquet flooring, and warm leather furniture, Nero shows off modern sophistication and classic style. Cutouts in the walls connect the kitchen, living, and dining room, making it easy for guests to talk the night away. And, an eclectic collection of art, although thoughtful and intriguing, only hints at the beauty beyond Nero’s walls.

Let the local markets and Lion Nero’s fully equipped kitchen inspire you to try your hand at preparing some traditional Italian cuisine. Dine with up to 8 guests inside or if it’s a meal for one, take your plate out to the terrace. On nights in, curl up on the sofa to catch up on some reading or kick back and watch the soccer match on television.

Home to many architectural and artistic triumphs of the Renessaince, Florence is the perfect muse for aspiring photographers. Nero’s central location comes in handy, as early mornings and late nights are the most hassle-free times to visit popular sites. Duomo, Galleria dell’Accademia, and Uffizi Gallery are all musts if you’ve never been. And, for a quick snapshot of what to expect from Florence, walk 4 minutes to Casa Buonarroti, a museum that holds some of Michelangelo’s earliest sculptures.
