Why Florence?

Florence captures you the minute you step foot on its cobbled lanes bursting with Rennaissance architecture. The Uffizi Gallery has an impressive stash of the world’s finest artwork, everything from Botticelli’s seductive brushstrokes to da Vinci’s ingenuity. We love going to the 13th-century Santa Maria Novella; once a month, it displays 15th-century frescoes only discovered in 2004. Dine with the locals in Santo Spirito, a cool neighborhood where you can stand in the street sipping Italian wine and watch the city buzz around you.
