Laura from Florence

I'm a grown-up girl, but I feel like I am 27. I work in a theater company in Florence, I live with my boyfriend, Andrea, who is a kind of nerd... I like my sofa in which I can watch my favorite shows, I like visiting temporary markets, going to the cinema, finding secret places in my city. Sometimes I don't remember where I live, so I'm surprised to ride along Palazzo Vecchio and Pont...

Caffè Lietta Florence

A cozy caffè!

""Caffè Lietta" in Piazza della Libertà in Florence has delicious cakes & you can even find a bunch of flowers inside. It's just really relaxing & cozy..."

If you are sick of Florence's city center and want to relax a bit away from the crowded streets, you can visit the neighborhood of Piazza della Libertà. In this square you can have a walk or sit in a bench between the two arches and guess which one was built as a door to protect Florence!

You should also have a break and stop at Caffè Lietta. This delicious spot is under the covered walkaway on the center side. It opened last January and I usually spend a lot of time there. It is sometimes crowded, but relaxing indeed. Taste a piece of their delicious cakes made in their own workshop. Really high quality pastry-making.

And if you need a bunch of flowers you can find them inside because there is a green part inside.

Watch out! Caffè Lietta closes at 21:00, so if you want to stay in that area I suggest you cross the square and watch a movie at Istituto Stensen, have a drink at Libreria Alzaia or have dinner at Fastsud!
