Private guide to the Uffizi
Two hours before the crowds, with a licensed art historian. Skip-the-line tickets, a route built around what you want to see, and the same guide available for Palazzo Pitti, the Accademia or the Bargello on another morning.

Wine
A day in Chianti
Driver, two estates and lunch at a table we would choose for ourselves. Castello dei Rampolla in Panzano and Villa Monteoriolo are where we send friends: small cellars, a walk in the vines, tastings led by the people who make the wine.
Full day, from the door · private car for up to 6 guests
Craft
Artisans of the Oltrarno
Across the river, the workshops of bookbinders, gilders, shoemakers and paper marblers still open onto the street. We introduce you to a few we know, and some will let you try the work yourself.
Half day on foot · small groups onlyBeyond Florence
BioMasseria Santa Lucia, in the Salento
A fortified masseria of the 1500s in Alessano, at the far end of Puglia: nine rooms among the olive trees, an organic farm and a pool. It is where we send friends when they head south after Florence.

The salotto, for your occasion.
The frescoed salotto and the palazzo can be reserved for private events. We take care of the planning: catering, flowers, music and, when needed, the rooms for your guests.
AperitiviA private aperitivo under the frescoes for up to 30 guests: Tuscan wines, small plates from producers we know, a sommelier on request.
WeddingsIntimate ceremonies and dinners in an eighteenth-century palazzo a few steps from Santa Trinita, with the nine rooms available for the wedding party.
Small concertsChamber music and recitals in the salotto, for an audience of up to 40. We work with musicians from Florence's conservatories and ensembles.
Something else in mind?
Cooking classes, a tailor, tickets for the Maggio Musicale, a driver to Siena. Write to us before you arrive and we take care of it.
