The designer fashion houses and numerous open-air markets are all around you and leather goods are a particularly good buy. The nearby Ponte Vecchio is renowned for its many jewellery shops and traders. Another must-see is the wonderful Farmacia di Santa Maria Novella, an old apothecary situated in the former church of Santa Maria. From the moment you enter through the thick wooden doors you are greeted by heavenly scents - it is a very calming experience. You can even have a special scent designed for you personally.
In addition to the fine wines of the region, Grappa is a fashionable drink and comes in all flavours, often presented in ornate bottles. It is not unusual to stop at one of the small "hole in the wall" bars in the side streets for a quick glass before continuing on your way! A popular alternative is Vin Santo which is a speciality of the region and is always accompanied by sweet Cantucci biscuits.
If you have time, it is also well worth a drive up into the beautiful Tuscan hills to the quaint town of Fiesole where you can enjoy stunning views over the city. If arriving by car, we can valet park it for you nearby and return it to you when you need it. If you are arriving by air or by train we will be happy to come and collect you, if required. |
