The view from terrace bar of the Hotel Degli Orafi across the tiled rooftops of Florence towards the Palazzo Vecchio and Duomo. I was slightly disappointed to see some building work going on when we arrived but luckily it wasn't too obtrusive. I guess if I really wanted too I could Photoshop it away. The trip was a prize for winning an Architectural Photography Competition back in 2013. I could choose two nights in any Europe City of my choice. I therefore chose Florence and chose this hotel as it stood on the banks of the Arno next to the Uffizi Gallery, was itself a former Renaissance palace and had this view from the rooftop bar. It's main claim to fame was that key scenes from the Merchant Ivory Production of 'Room with a View' were shot in one of their rooms with a view. I've since learnt the name of the Hotel translates as Goldsmiths. Quite appropriate as the rack rate inside our room stated it was 550 Euros a night.......... The room itself was situated immediately over the Vasari Corridor as it turns inland from the Arno.
