Stopping by Florence, Venice and Rome. Picture is of the Villa la Vedetta in Florence where we'll be for 3 glorious nights, I am sure.

Tips for finding those amazing gem hotels when traveling:

I like to use www.kiwicollection.com and www.slh.com for their list of finely curated hotels. Prices range from low (I've seen $80 USD) to heartbreak (stacks on stacks) but quality and magnetism is always consistent across the board. Most likely, any where you go, there is a hidden magical gem to be found at your price range.

Will report back soon, wanderlusters!
