Near busses, planes, trains and automobiles (right off the A14) for easy all-mode access.

A less than 10-min stroll will get you to the Bologna Museum of Modern Art (MAMbo), which focuses on art from WWII to the present.

Huge, gloriously traditional rooms housed in a 17th-century manor house (surrounded by idyllic parklike grounds, of course).

Ultra-posh garden space has an adjacent localvore bar. Forget exploring and soak up some leisure time.

Eclectic mix of authentic antiques and original art. Like the inside version of what you’ll find on your strolls through the historical centre.

Variations on the Mona Lisas throughout – since it’s rumored this is where the painting was found after being stolen from The Louvre back in 1913.

We're a massive fan of this hotel – it may or may not have to do with the mid-modern design or the rental electric guitars

Just built, and you can almost still catch a whiff of that new-car smell.

This palatial retreat drops ya in the heart of Florence, not far from the Piazza della Libertà.

Steps from the park (views from the restaurant terrace!), and the city’s best shopping streets. Win-win.

Just a hop, skip and a jump from Santa Maria Novella train station and the cathedral.

Close to the airport so you can spend time on more important things (like catching some extra z's).

Sophisticated decor inspired by the landscape and history creates an authentic Tuscan vibe.

Settle down in a comfy chair or snuggle into a sofa. No, it's not your living room, it's Assaggi Wine Bar.

Nestled in the hills above Florence with breathtaking views of the city.
