Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and home to world reknowned art treasures housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Galleria Accademia (Michelangelo’s David), the Duomo and Bapistery, the Medici Chapels, Bargello museum and numerous cathedrals. In addition to the art treasures and history Florence offers, it is known for its shopping opportunities for leather, gold jewelry, paper and stationery and fashion at its many shops and lively outdoor markets (the main one - Mercato Centrale near San Lorenzo).

Stay in the city in a carefully chosen B&B or close by in the peaceful countryside. Each of the country homes offer convenient proximity to all the sights of Florence while offering the ability to take easy day trips elsewhere. For example, the nearby village of Impruneta is famous for its ceramics, the Chianti Classico wine region and numerous hill town villages and cities such as Siena, San Gimignano and Lucca.
