All about Metropolitan City of Florence

Planning a vacation in Florence

Eat, drink, be merry

Of course, when in Italy, it would be a shame not to try a slice of pizza. La Sud Pizzeria is close to Mercato Centrale, a 19th-century indoor fresh produce market, and makes a great place to have a slice of margherita after a quick tour of the wares the busy marketplace has to offer. Another market specializing in the fresh produce of the region is San Lorenzo. It’s open every Sunday through Tuesday and has stalled, both indoors and outdoors, selling a variety of cured meats, fresh cheeses, and olive oils. While you are there check out La Menagere, a restaurant, tapas bar, and flower shop rolled into one. Live bands will serenade you most nights of the week at this place.

For something a little more formal, make a reservation at Bottega del Buon Caffe. This Michelin-starred restaurant is famous for its ‘farm to plate’ ethos and grows many of its vegetables and herbs in its kitchen garden. The elegant surroundings and extensive wine list are a pleasure too. Finally, you can’t leave Florence without trying a scoop of gelato. Make a beeline for Carabe, which many believe to offer the best flavors in the city; their cannolis are also legendary.

Look around you

There is an abundance of galleries and historical buildings in Florence, including the iconic Uffizi gallery. During the summer months, it pays to plan ahead and book tickets to the main museums in advance, as the queues can get very long, especially for guided museum tours. Consider buying a Firenze card, which allows you access to all of the museums for three days, with queue-jumper privileges.

If you’re energetic, take the hundreds of steps up to the top of the Duomo cathedral’s cupola for awe-inspiring views over the city.

Fashion is an important part of Italy’s past and present history. A quick tour of the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, showcasing shoes designed for his A-list fans, or the Museo Gucci, displaying items from its archive, will give you a glimpse into the impact this city has had on the multi-billion dollar fashion industry.

Where to stay – Florence villa rentals

When choosing a villa at which to spend your vacation, Airbnb Luxe has you covered. The edit of world-class villas captures everything you require from location to modern amenities and housekeeping services.

A family vacation in Florence is a truly special experience that family members will cherish for years to come. Our Florentine villas are all set just a little outside of the city center, so you and your brood can enjoy the expansive beauty of the Tuscan landscape. Many villas are situated in the Chianti Classico wine region and are former 16th Renaissance villas, complete with ornamental gardens, olive groves, marble fountains and brick laid sun terraces. The grandeur doesn’t stop there, as the interiors are fit for royalty, with opulent furnishings and chandeliers, all set within large open plan living rooms and chef-grade kitchens. Formal dining areas are available inside and outside the villas, so you and your family can enjoy the region’s clement weather and iconic sunsets.

For the active members of your team, tennis courts, soccer fields, and saltwater swimming pools are all available at select properties. The heart of Florence is just a quick drive away, so you can head into the city whenever the mood arises. Most bedrooms are en-suite with king or queen-sized beds and daily housekeeping comes as standard. Many of the villas have fully stocked wine cellars, with local wines from this award-winning region to enjoy, too.
