1. Chocolates and hot chocolate in Florence, B&B MR My Resort’s tips
October 31, 2009
Winter is coming and hot chocolate is a must, and Florence offers good places where you can sip a gorgeous hot chocolate, with or without “panna”.
The first place close to MR My Resort, right in Florence center, and it is on your way to go to San Lorenzo Chruch and the Duomo, is Coccole Cioccolato. It is an old-style place with brown and white tables, where you can find various kind of chocolates with mousse, home-made biscuits, small cakes, fine chocolate tablets, dark, white…
The espresso italian coffee is excellent, and you can also ask for a cappuccino; small delicious pastries are available (brioches, muffins, chocolate small cheese cake…), as black or green teas. If you’re here for the hot chocolate, you’re in the right place! In summer you can’t miss the frozen chocolate, a real surprise to drink.

October 15, 2009
This week-end you can enjoy the famous Antique Market at the Fortezza da Basso, located 3 minutes walk from MR My Resort B&B accomdation in Florence center and Relais Grand Tour B&B.
The Fortezza is a medioeval fort with a very large garden, where 120 stands sell antiques and old objects, bijoux, old-fashioned hats, bric-à-brac.
A nice way to spend a couple of hours in a quiet place, and hey, don’t miss the gelato at Re Gelato, one of my favourite ice-cream parlour 
located right in front of the Fortezza da Basso.

Part 2: Via Calzaioli – Signoria square – Porcellino Market – Via Porta Rossa – Via Tornabuoni
(From I love shopping in Florence 1)
Ok, you’re in Via Calzaioli and enjoy Nannini shoes, the multistore Coin, Stefanel shop.
But: nothing can make you feel chic like a tailleur by Chanel. Where? At the end of Via Calzaioli, right in Piazza della Signoria.
What to say about Coco? She’s still here, with her jersey, her jackets, her bags…
From Chanel you can go in the direction of Piazza delle Logge del Porcellino (also known as the Porcellino Market) and turn in Via di Porta Rossa.
The street is one of my favourite not only because there is the beautiful Palazzo Davanzati which worths a visit, but also because there is the shop I love most: for women only, its name is Spazio A: here you can find a Alberta Ferretti, Moschino, Jean Paul Gaultier, Narciso Rodriguez. I’ve never had a breakfast at Tiffany‘s, but I have to say that I would here.
The staff is simply great; a nice young man and two women will make you feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (don’t forget your Richard Gere and his credit card 
If you need something sweet to make your partner happy after shopping, well you can try the Chocolate Shop of Roberto Catinari recently open right in front of Spazio A.
A couple of steps from Spazio A you will find Blumarine, girls only, very elegant and sophisticated.
At the corner, you see Via Tornabuoni, where the most important boutiques are located… TO BE CONTINUED

“We had a wonderful stay here. The whole place is beautiful and I am in love with the courtyard. Our second time staying with you and it won’t be the last.”
“Mr My Resort is an outstanding place, the rooms are beautiful, the hospitality is excellent and everything was perfect (or should we say perfetto). Our greatest thanks to the owners Cristina and Giuseppe and also to Camilla and Lorenzo whose helpfulness was absolutely extraordinary. This is the one and only place to stay in Florence. See you.”
Thanks to all our guests
I love shopping in Florence 1.
October 1, 2009
Let’s walk together for shopping!
Part 1: from your B&B MR My Resort to San Lorenzo Market – Duomo square - Via Roma – Piazza Repubblica – Via degli Speziali – Via Calzaioli
You need just a couple of minutes walk from MR My Resort bed and breakfast to reach the San Lorenzo Market.
The Market, which is on your way to the Duomo, is famous for its stands of leather jackets, pashmina, leather bags and souvenirs (a small David, the Florentine decorated paper); prices are good, but always ask for a discount.
In the Duomo square you find a good shoes shop Bologna. Trendy boots, sneakers, italian shoes. Expensive but not too much.
After Bologna, you can see the Raspini multistore, at the corner with Via Roma. This place is one of the most favourite from young women and men loving Dolce&Gabbana, Prada, Cavalli, Paul Smith, Y’S… Shoes & clothes, man and woman.
But Raspini is not the only one: a few meters from its entrance you can see Luisa Via Roma : the most gorgeous shop window in the city.
Here you can find Kenzo, Chloé, Dior, John Richmond, Dsquared, Victor&Rolf, Jil Sander, and many others, as you can see from the website. Three floors, including the Coffee Shop. A real paradise for your credit card.
In the same street there are Gucci and Miu Miu
There are no good reasons to miss them.
Walking onto Piazza della Repubblica, you will see the multistore La Rinascente , an excellent place if you have no time and need to buy lingerie, jeans, clothes, make-up (Armani, Burberry, Diesel, DKNY, Ethic, K Kark Lagerfeld, Belstaff, Calvin Klein, etc.).
It is also an ideal place for presents in case you’re looking for something nice to use in the kitchen (top floor).
In addiction, don’t miss the Coffee shop on the roof top.
Right in front of its windows, there is the Hugo Boss store, recently renovated, and now not for man only (thanks God!).
This shop is at the corner with Via degli Speziali: take the left and in this small street you will find an interesting, very trendy shoes shop Calvani, expensive but the quality is excellent. Man and woman.
From this small street you can enter in Via de’ Calzaioli, where shops like Yamamay, Nannini, Coin are located…. TO BE CONTINUED I love shopping in Florence 2 !
October 3, Organic Market in St. Croce sq.
October 1, 2009
It worth a visit!
Not only the Santa Croce Cathedral, with the Michelangelo tomb and its frescoes, and not only the square, with the Dante‘s statue.
From 8.00 am to 7.00 pm you will enjoy the organic products of 60 tuscan farms, right in the Santa Croce square.
All the Tuscan cheese, olive oil, organic jams, wines, juices, seasonal fruit, bread, home-made cakes, “zolfini” beans (a specialty)… you can taste and buy what you want at a very convenient price, since this is a real market, not a “boutique”
IL MERCATALE DI FIRENZE
Piazza Santa Croce
Sept. 5 from 8.00 am to 7.00 pm
and October 3, same time
