Accomodations
Florence
We wanted a home base that's both central and calm, and this gem delivers. Located in the heart of Florence, the hotel makes it super easy to walk to the main sights as the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and local artisan streets—without the hassle of taxis or long commutes. At the same time, it's tucked away from the busiest tourist crowds, so you can enjoy Florence at a relaxed pace, sip your morning coffee on a quiet street, and come back after a day of exploring to peaceful comfort and stylish rooms.
Siena
Hotel the perfect blend: the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside and the proximity to the historic center of Siena. Nestled on the hills, it provides panoramic terraces with breathtaking views of vineyards and landscapes.
Just few minutes away from Piazza del Campo, it allows you to explore Siena without traffic or crowds.
With an excellent restaurant and a welcoming atmosphere, it represents an ideal stop for an authentic and picturesque experience in Tuscany.
