It is a B&B run by two women from Firenze for women travellers. It is in the heart of Firenze - and from my room I could see the Duomo and a little garden. It is small, cosy, extremely clean and you meet interesting women there. They were kind enough to put me up for free for a night as I was on a tight budget as I was travelling from India. Extremely warm and hospitable women offering a great service to women travellers. They also welcome pets.

These are the women who traditionally engage in pearl/ seaweed diving on Jeju Island. It is a tradition that is passed on from mother to daughter. These women are very strong, independent and have strong organisations. It is very interesting to watch them at work. The tradition is dying out as mothers don't want their daughters to take up such hard work.

It's best to check with the Korean tourism dept on Jeju Island about the various hay-nyaw diving sites dotting the island. They also run inns where you can stay.
