Florence, Italy | Grand Suite with Views, Food Market & Dinner Under the Olive Trees

Hello from Florence. I just arrived. I'll be here for the next three nights and the weather is incredible but we have 32 degrees right now and it's gonna be so hot like the whole week. I'm so happy to be here. I have a slight cold since like two days but nothing too bad and I'm pretty sure that Florence is gonna help me to get healthy ASAP and I will spend my time here at Collegio alla Querce. It's a beautiful hotel here in Florence and I've just done the check-in into our room and it's you cannot believe it's a suite. It's incredible. I have to show you now everything because I can't believe it and most of it also to learn more about this house like it just looks absolutely stunning and yeah so super excited but I'm gonna give you a room tour now because I cannot believe it. So this is the entrance and you turn right and you come straight to the bedroom and the view here is just incredible and the light in here because you have these big windows and then here is the bathroom. It's beautiful. I just found out that this hotel opened one and a half years ago I think. Look at the shower. It looks incredible. Here is like a living room and you have the view. Look how beautiful and then here you have the kitchen. I can't believe we have a kitchen. We even have a wine fridge like this is insane. Coffee station and just all the details. Look at these super nice products. Fridge. Just everything looks just so well curated. Then you have here another bathroom, a small bathroom for the guests I guess and then you come here to the big living room I would call it. You have here a dining table. To this side here you again have the beautiful view to the garden. It doesn't even come through on the video how beautiful it is. On this side you have this cozy area here to sit down and so I already love the selection of coffee table books they have here. She just explained us this is a local cake from Firenze. I have to try it because it's with almonds and I love everything with almonds. This is the terrace from one side of our room and then you have from this side how's the terrace? It's warm. I love it by the way that it's so warm. I was waiting for summer to be here and now it's here. Yeah this is the terrace and you have like like with this view this is insane. So I really don't have words like I'm so overwhelmed right now. We started with a car this morning. Oh look wow here down everything full of olive trees. I wonder if they do their own olive oil to ask. But yeah I started with a car this morning and drove down here. I had like a late breakfast and also quite a lot because I'm gonna be on the go actually for a whole week. So I tried to empty the fridge this kind of vibe. So I was actually not hungry but now it's around 4 pm and I'm super hungry. So we just ordered something small to the room but then I also want to try the cake overseas. So there's gonna be dessert afterwards and yeah I'm just super excited to be here. Can't wait for the next days. We literally ordered 10 minutes ago and it already arrived. Need a little snack before we then have a drink and some snacks at like 6 30 but I was too hungry to have nothing until then. I was thinking to now take a shower and wash my hair but I think tonight I'm gonna take just wear a sling a sleep bag because I really don't feel my best right now and I want to enjoy everything here to the fullest but I think I need a half an hour nap because I was reading recently that apparently taking naps can improve your let's say if you're a little bit sick it can just shorten time period. So makes sense, I mean logical that sleep helps but close the curtains and then I'm getting ready for tonight. So we're having a hotel tour right now. It feels slightly better after my nap but I can feel I just need like an early night. The details in this hotel are incredible. I love love love the interior style. Here's the round view from this rooftop. Absolutely amazing. Look at the sunset in the back. Okay I just want to show you my new skirt. I got it vintage and it's 100% silk and I really like it because look at the back. It has this hanging on the floor and I think it's super super nice now for summer and my blouse is a sesame. The blouse was not planned for this outfit but I didn't have time so I just put it on and I hope it's okay and yeah. Okay I will go before dinner without alcohol and I'm going for a Bel Rosario. It's with coconut water and this Martini Vibrante. It sounds very good so we'll try it. He just created the ice cream with the logo and he was putting like a hot stamp on it. So satisfying to watch. Look how he's now he's putting the label on the ice cream. Little things that make me happy. My drink fits to my skirt. So we just got the Negroni with olive oil. This is the truth. Just took a shower, got ready for bed, put my LED mask on because on my last travels I didn't have it with me and apparently it only works if you use it like at least three four times a week. So here we are and I will just hit the bed and I hope I feel better tomorrow this evening. I went through different stages. Feeling really unwell so I'm kind of okay so so I hope tomorrow it's just gonna be better. Let's see. Good morning. Woke up at 7 45 this morning. Went straight to the shower. I have to say I feel slightly better today and that makes me happy and I will now do my skincare. I just wanted to roughly show you the skincare I have with me while traveling. First of all I'm using now from The Ordinary the Hyaluronic Acid Serum. I'm always trying different ones but this is supposed to be like super good price quality ratio. It's like the eight euros. This seems to be a good fit for me because I have to I already purchase it every two weeks kind of. By the way these spots that you see my face I asked my dermatologist and she said it's not hyperpigmentation it's melasma. Great. Very important is vitamin c and I have this serum here from Typology. It's vitamin c 11% and something else which I don't know what it is but it's a radiant serum. I didn't read into it if this is really doing like its job if it's like good but I have this problem this feeling it's not so aggressive because I used like some other vitamin c products before and I always got like skin rashes. Maybe this is like a subtle vitamin c. Then under my eyes I use from Caudalie the brightening eye cream. Not that I would need brightening under my eyes right now because as you can see I'm always wearing sunglasses so under my eyes I have these panda eyes. This is just you know the disadvantages of summer if you tend to have hyperpigmentation or melasma it just gets worse. And then my favorite product right now the Ongradient Skin Barrier Radiant Cream. I just love it on my skin it's just it's incredible. I mean it has SPF 50 I wouldn't trust it alone now if I really know I'm gonna be in the sun a lot because all this skincare that already has sunscreen in it you never know how much it is actually in it but as a base this is wonderful. Everything also just sinks into the skin super quickly. Love it! After breakfast just got changed for like a video. I have to show you this dress because I'm still not sure about it. So it's basically a vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress. I bought it on vintage a couple of months ago. The color is really not my color. I'm trying to make it work. I'm thinking if I'm tanned in summer it's gonna be better. Right now I'm just like slightly tanned but I'm not sure. What do we think? But I will now get changed because we're gonna go in the city. I'm gonna go to Florence and go to the market and then have like lunch in like a secret location. So excited for that and yeah. Okay just got changed. Will show you my outfit. The dress is pretty see-through. I don't wear a bra underneath so I have to cover it with my hair. It's like this linen dress. I really like the color. It's vintage. I think from Stepanel. I'm not sure. Then I have this arm cuff. It's from Cezanne. Then my shoes. Just these loafers from Tot's. Also got them vintage on vintage. My bag also from Tot's. Also vintage. Honestly it's the only bag I have with me and just like a small bag for the evening for the next days. So yeah this is kind of my bag of choice because I don't have choice. And as glasses I always wear. Right now I would just wear them every day basically. They're from Corlin and they fit to everything. Earrings from Crema. Rings from Crema and yeah I think that's gonna be like an easygoing look now for the city and yeah let's go. Just arrived at the Mercato and I just remember we've been here I think last year and we checked off the flea market and found some nice vintage stuff so I hope we're gonna have some time to do that as well. I'm so happy about the weather. First peach of the season. So I just came back to the hotel and in theory I would have a cooking class right now which would have been lovely but my headache just returned and being on the go the whole morning until now I just realized I'm really still not 100%. I'm just making myself a tea and I absolutely love this little drink station here and I also love the cups like the design. It's really nice and here they have like amazing tea selection. I think I will go with chamomile or with mint. I think I will go with chamomile. Like this is incredible but this room has like an actual kitchen so yeah I will work a little bit and then if I can I will take a short nap. Let's see how things go. I'm just gonna drink as much as possible. I can feel that I'm way better than yesterday that's for sure and see you later. So one nap later and some work later I just got ready and this is my dress for tonight. You can't see my feet but it's like quite long. I wear it for the first time. I got it on Cezanne and it just reminds me of Italy in summer and also got these big earrings. What do we think? Normally I don't wear that much color for earrings but I thought they fit quite well and yeah now we're gonna have a dinner like it's called the social table where some like a lot of people will sit together on one table. We share food and it's between the olive trees next to the pool downstairs so I'm super excited and yeah that's my look for tonight. You have no idea how happy I am to sit outside now without a jacket and that this is now possible. I've waited for this all winter long and as you might see I feel way better now like just lying down and taking at least just like half an hour nap already helped so so much. The cherry season started. Good morning. This morning we had on the program yoga but I decided against it because I just wanted to prioritize my sleep and I also didn't know how I would feel this morning if I would be already back on track so I was just in the hotel room it actually felt really good. Guys the amount of sugar I eat here is crazy. I have here tiramisu that we're sharing and this one is like local it's with almonds and I didn't try it yet so I have to now try it with my coffee. Let's see. It's like soft on the inside, super chewy. So the last dinner and this is just the welcome from the kitchen and fresh olive oil. By the way sitting half inside half outside and look at these colors. Good morning. This is the last day here in this beautiful hotel and it's the first time I will check out the gym. So it's apparently somewhere here. Here's the main hall where you go to the right you go to breakfast and up here is the reception and here is supposed to be somewhere the gym. Wow look at this palestra. Wow it's actually pretty big. Ah look there's another room. Angel room. It's like a yoga room I suppose. It's also beautiful look at the ceiling. Wow I'm just doing a light training because I can still feel I'm not 100% I'm maybe at 90% so it's super important that you don't go full speed from the beginning because otherwise it can go straight to your heart. So yeah no crazy stuff for me I just did like a couple of very light exercises no cardio. I will just do a couple of like feminine stretching and that's it. We're gonna start because in theory we're already full but you need to try something sweet. I'm not full. To make things fair a very exact way of cutting. To make things clear I get three quarters you get one quarter. Just kidding. But there were so many other good things you made me do the choice and I took the blueberry with cream cheese but you should double check. No I shouldn't because then I will take something more. I'm laughing right now because he just took the first bite and while taking the bite he was looking like straight to the buffet. Like I know your thoughts you were like this is good I'm gonna try something else. It's the last time that I'm here so it's not the last time but now let's go. I know him too well. I knew it. I knew it. He just came back and he got the pistachio one. I knew you would like that one. I'm gonna go for that one. I'm gonna swim later so I burn all the calories. Who cares? Yeah who cares. This one is yours by the way. Yeah we have that but I also want to try that. Oh my god. Now you gotta rate it if that's better or the blueberry one. You know well I don't know but the pastry that they do all in-house. Yeah it's incredible. I mean even the croissants and everything and the quality is really really high. Oh my god. I mean I love pistachio and I love blueberry. I mean it's a... You have here some chocolate or something. You know what I just realized that all the kids from school they had different artists. For example this one nearly looks like a picture. Pretty good. And Rafaela was not so lucky with her artist. Yeah I mean very different. Very different. Oh yeah that one is good. Looks like a picture. You see the sky and actually I can hear the thunder. It's like a thunderstorm approaching. I don't know if you can see it on the camera but here you can see the rain coming down. So just packed my bags and now just sat down here for the last time here on the terrace enjoying the view over Florence. It's been such a nice trip. Not only was the group we had super super nice so thank you to JR Studios and Alomuz for organizing this and a special thank you to Francesca.
