🏰 A Thousand-Year-Old Castle ⚜️ My Dream Hotel in Florence

One of the most magical surprises in Florence was staying at this historic castle hotel with over a thousand years of history — Torre di Bellosguardo. 📍 Although it’s a bit outside the city center, the breathtaking panoramic views are absolutely worth it. A taxi ride to downtown takes around 20 minutes and costs about €25. 💶 ✨ As a historical building, the facilities may not match a modern five-star hotel — but the architecture and interior are so stunning that you’ll forgive any imperfections. Wandering through 17th-century frescoes, vintage furniture, and Tuscan-style garden corridors… I was completely captivated by the deep sense of Italian tradition and beauty. Couldn’t stop taking photos — ended up with tons of lifetime memories. 📸 🌄 From here, you can enjoy an unforgettable sunset overlooking all of Florence. Strolling around the garden and pool, I felt totally relaxed and at peace. 😌 🧩 A sweet little coincidence — I stayed in Room 17, which (so charmingly!) shares my name. 👑 If you’re traveling to Florence, I highly recommend staying here for at least one night. There are various room types — I’ve heard Room 9 has amazing views! Be sure to book early to secure your favorite room. #Florence #Italy #CastleHotel #LuxuryStay #TravelEurope #HiddenGems #HotelGoals #TravelInspiration #OldMoneyAesthetic #Wanderlust
