About Florence

Florence is one of the most beautiful city in the world! Here you have the opportunity to taste real genuine, fresh and organic food and experience great wines (such a Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Nobile di Montepulciano, Bolgheri Sassicaia, Ornellaia and much more) ! Think that Italy is the only country in the world where each region produce a different kind of wine with different kind of local grapes. It is a real bless for palate. Italians are friendly and locals even more. Almost everybody speaks English here. I am a women and I consider the place to be a Women safe place. Moreover, Firenze and Tuscany are LGBTQ+ friendly: just remember that the first worldwide riot aimed to fight in favor of the Gay Community happened in Florence almost 500 years ago with the Medici's! As most part of Europe, Winter is cool and windy but Spring, Summer and Fall are the best period ever! During the Pandemic, the Tuscan hospitals have demostrated to be over the top of their expectations to face both the emergency and the daily care. In Italy, health care at hospital is FREE for everybody, foreigners included. Just to recap: food and wine are simply amazing and born to satisfy all palates in particular also veggie and vegan, art and nature are all around you, the region is really safe, nightlife is cool, so I think it is high time to pack your bags! I really recommend it. Just Enjoy Firenze which is also a great place for a workaction away from your home and your office! Moreover, traveling with your pet is easy as they are very welcomed almost all over and vets are fab!

Fantastic to visit... picturesque, amazing food and wine, cathedrals, museums, galleries, you name it. All without being as large and chaotic as Milan or Rome; you can really see all the hotspots within a day or two. It's hard to anticipate what the post-Corona experience will be like but the pre-Corona life was dominated by tourism with several large walking tours of cruise passengers clogging the streets, which can obviously get frustrating and ultimately off putting. It's an extremely arty and fashionable city and for that reason the people can be a snobbish, pretentious and cliquey... as non-Italian speaking expats who aren't massively into the arty stuff we've found it difficult to make friends.

Definitely one the preetiest jewels of Italy! With it's great architecture + tuscanian feeling around it, looks like it's gonna be visited by most of the tourists during the years!
