The place whose garden was designed by Leonardo da Vinci, covered with paintings by Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi (Sandro Botticelli or Il Botticello)...
The city where world history is shaped and very important names erode its streets...
In this city where you can feel history in every step of your way, an unexpected event happened to me:
You know, Hostels are essential for cheap travel, especially for long-term travelers like me.
Having stayed in hundreds of hostels, I came across a hostel that amazed even me.
Proof that Florence is an open-air museum, this Hostel is a gem.
Each corner is a different history, a separate important work.
This is my 3rd hostel in Florence.
Because Florence is a very touristic city, hostels are full one day and empty the next.
While waiting for the check-in time, I wanted to walk around the hostel, but I couldn't believe my eyes.
The doors, the walls of which are filled with drawings, open into a garden leading to Botticello's tomb...
The garden of the hostel where you will stay for 20-25 Euros opens to a monastery, as well as to the monastery where Botticelli's grave is located.
The hostel is inside the medieval monastery!
All the pictures in the hostel belong to Botticelli. It's impossible not to go nuts.
Da Vinci designed the garden.
Unfortunately the rooms were not designed by Michelangelo.
We understand from the six-collection symbols that this hostel, which is very close to the city center, was built by the Medici.
The graves of Amerigo Vespucci and Sandro Botticelli are in this church.
Botticelli was not really interested in women, but because he loved Simeno Vespucci very much, he wanted to be buried in the same church.
While walking around the hotel at 5 am, I learn that the drawings in the church were drawn by Botticelli, and those outside the church were drawn by Da Vinci.
One can't believe it.
I couldn't really trust what the hostel staff said and did some research on the San Salvatore di Oggisanti church.
There are the tombs of Sandro Botticelli, Simeno Vespucci and Amerigo Vespucci in this monastery, which was started to be built in 1250.
The monastery was built for Franciscan monks.
These names all worked for the Medici...
Domenico Ghirlandaio, Michelangelo's art teacher. The sketches on the wall belonged to him.
In short, all the renaissance is gathered in this hostel, you feel the whole renaissance.
Be sure to watch the video to see the wonderful drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and look at the sketches on the walls of the hostel!
