Agent Tips

  • Request a sunset table at La Gamella. Golden hour views over the gardens and Duomo make this the dreamiest seat in Florence, paired perfectly with a glass of Chianti.
  • Sip something secret at Bar Bertelli. Hidden in the old headmaster’s office, this moody lounge serves off-menu cocktails in a cigar-scented, book-lined setting.
  • Don't miss the Aelia Spa ritual. Kick off your stay with a jet lag–melting treatment inspired by local herbs and Tuscan traditions—best enjoyed under dappled garden light.
