Most hotels, or hostels really, for the Italy trip were chosen for their cleanliness, friendly staff, and very reasonable price. Il Borro was the only exception. We were spoiled for one night with a luxurious villa surrounded by a private garden. Even the free tea bags from La Via del Tè provided in the room were impressively elegant. Unlike ordinary paper tea bags clipped with a staple, the tea leaves are sealed in a silky cotton bag with a long thread attached at the end. Since the Florence shop delivers to Hong Kong, perhaps I will be tempted to order their products online.
