1. Tea rooms in Florence: “Derb”, a Moroccan oasis.
March 10, 2010
Located close to the Medici Chaples and the San Lorenzo church, right two steps from MR My Resort Inn, the “Derb” Moroccan Tea Room creates a tranquil setting for enjoy tea, but this places is not only a typical tea room.
As a Tea Room, here you can find the best Moroccan selections of typical tea from the large menu, together with typical biscuits and home-made cakes, some in Moroccan style, others more italian. Here it is possible to have a light lunch with a vegetarian cous-cous or a good panino, or come in the afternoon to read a newspaper and sip a home-made fruit-juice, or a tea with fresh ingredients and special aromas (try the Risveglio a Marrakech, or Notti d’Arabia, or just the simple tea with fresh mint). The late afternoon this is a good place for aperitivs, too.
But as I told you, this is not only a Tea Room. The proprietor, Sofia, is a young sweet girl who creates jewels in Moroccan style in her laboratory located in a part of the “Derb”; you can see her working at rings or hear-rings while you’re sit at the table with your drink.
In addiction, she imports directly from Morocco some typical hand-crafts products: hand-made covers in colored silk, silk pillows, moroccan slippers in leather, and the famous “tagine”, that they use to prepare the cous cous but that one’s can use and a standard plateau to serve food on table. Colored glasses decorated with silver, warm colored dishes hand-decorated.
Do you want to discover the true secret of the Moroccan girls beauty? Here is it: the Argan Oil. This prodigious, completely natural element, is considered as a must by all the arabian ladies, and it is actually used in most of recent beauty treatments for hair, body and face. You can find it at “Derb”, pure 100% and bio, at a very reasonable price! Don’t miss it! You can use the Argan Oil after our Body Space experience at MR My Resort…
DERB, Via Faenza 21/R
(open daily 11.30am – 7.30pm. Closed on Sunday)

4. Chocolates and hot chocolate in Florence: MR My Resort Inn tips
March 3, 2010
If you’re in the area of Santa Croce Cathedral, here you can’t miss Vestri. The area is located about 20 min. walk from MR My Resort Inn, and it has one of the most beautiful piazza of Florence downtown, Santa Croce square.
It’s a small shop, but this year they open a new spot in the same street where you can find panettone and pandoro cakes, together with chocolates and chocolate creams. I saw a great panettone covered with hazelnuts and dark chocolate and I decided this had to be the “special cake” for our family Christmas lunch 2009/2010 (together with mom’s cake, of course…
)
The main shop offers ice creams, chocolates and the hot chocolate: classic dark, with peperoncino, milk chocolate. They do not have seats and give you a glass to take away, and the place is one of Florentines most favourite. Don’t miss the gelato in summer!!!
