"The Gran Cru" is something between a beer shop and pub in the south of Florence. I like how it has a friendly atmosphere and the tips by owner Francesco.

Surrender to the expertly crafted Negronis, refreshing Aperol Spritzes, or personalized cocktails tailored to your preferences at Mago Balducci.

"Serre Torrigiani" is a private garden that hosts a bar and a bistrot in Florence. The noble family still owns the villa & manages the bistros to this day!

"Surf Ventura Club" Florence is my favorite place for cocktails in the city. It's hard to find - I always have to look well to find the right door...

"Jazz Club" Florence is an underground live music venue that is an institution. It might be called Jazz Club, but there's room for all music...

"Bellosguardo" Florence is a hill with a special place in my heart for its unique view of most famous buildings from a different point of view: the front!

"Gelateria Il Sorriso" Florence is my 'girl next door' gelateria. It might not be the fanciest, but is the ice cream shop I fell in love with...

"Edoardo" Florence is a lovely gelateria just on Piazza Duomo that I love. The prices are above average, €3 for the smallest portion, but it's all organic.

"Twist Bistrot" in Florence is one of those places where you feel at home, giving you the feeling that you are surrounded by friends...

The Artigianato e Palazzo exhibition in Florence has Italian and foreign artisans showing their work in the 17th-century Corsini Garden!

Forte Belvedere is my favorite spot in Florence. It's an old fort and has a garden, art exhibitions, concerts and even a bar, perfect in the afternoon!
