Why we love it for you: An iconic luxury property, with fascinating history, prime location and views. The hotel is located right in the Heart of Florence and just a few steps away from the Duomo; and your room here will give you uninterrupted views of the dome. The décor will make your dream of what life in Rennaissance Florence was: antique oak parquet, mirrors and golden iron chandeliers from the 18th century, and exclusively-designed furniture.
In many ways, visiting Florence today feels like a trip directly into the Renaissance. The energy that inspired the likes of da Vinci and Michelangelo is still palpable, from the grandiose pink and green facade of the Duomo to an unembellished plate of Florentine steak with potatoes. It’s easy to get engrossed by the art and shopping in the historic center, but walk across the Ponte Vecchio to find Florence’s most authentic osterias and enotecas on the left bank of the river.
Start your tour exploring Italy's most important museum; the enchanting Uffizi Gallery. Led by your specialized guide you will have the chance to truly understand what's behind each painting, and 'follow' the evolution of Italian art through the centuries, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
Learn all about the great artists that turned Florence into the capital of the Renaissance, and see them actually come to life with the guidance of your dedicated guide. Discover Giotto's revolutionary art, admire the beauty of Botticelli's Primavera, and marvel at Leonardo's mix of rational genius and artistic creativity!

Crown your day discovering the magnificent Accademia Gallery, home to one of the world's most famous artworks: Michelangelo's David, a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture. Sculpted in marble by a young artist, the statue came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence, an independent city-state threatened on all sides by more powerful rival states and by the hegemony of the Medici family.

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the magic of Florence, but there’s so much more to Tuscany outside of the capital city. Hop in the car and the city quickly gives way to medieval villages, terracotta estates, and endless rows of vineyards. The region is renowned for its history and art, but sensual pleasures reign supreme: copious glasses of wine, simple cooking with seasonal ingredients, natural thermal baths. If you’re seeking la dolce vita, you’ll find it in Tuscany.
This morning a private English speaking driver will greet you at the lobby of your hotel and transfer you to Tuscany in a luxury vehicle.
