Pokud chcete utéct ruchu centra, tak sem. Kavárna byla klimatizovaná. Ceny jsou velmi dobré. K dispozici jsou toalety, výhledy, stín a klid. Stihli jsme perfektní kombinaci závěru etapy na Tour de France, kafe a v pozadí kus historie.

Superbe endroit, loin du tourisme de masse, où se reposer à l’ombre, lire ses mails ou travailler en holidays-working 😃 Possibilité de se rafraîchir au café de la terrasse. Les étudiants florentins ont bien de la chance… accueil souriant !
