The restaurant itself is in a renovated greenhouse with lots of exotic plants throughout the restaurant. Great music and it is open until 2 am so the later it gets the more it turns into a club! The food was also incredible every single thing we got was 10/10 amazing. Great cocktails too and the owner was so sweet and gave us free drinks! Would highly highly recommend!

The Garden is stunning, with sculptured boxwoods, roses blooming, water features and those ubiquitous ceder trees. The room was gorgeous, comfortable, quiet. I loved the Eicher 3-dimensional tile in the entry way. The La Duchessa Restaurant was memorable with several Tuscan menu options. All freshly prepared, beautiful to look at and very tasty. Service exceptional. Very good Tuscan wine selections by the glass and bottle. Impressive breakfast buffet included in the room price. Fresh fruits, pastries, meats, cheeses, breads, hot coffee, tea, juices all on a buffet for you to enjoy. Everyone working here spoke very good English and did everything they could to be helpful, kind and answer questions. An on-call Shuttle service runs to a couple of plazas where you have access to the historic center of Florence. A most enjoyable stay.

Founded in the late 18th century as a teaching collection, it evolved into one of Italy's most important art institutions You slowly move through the gallery of Renaissance paintings and plaster models. You curiosity begins to build as you anticipate viewing this famous David. Quite impressive...the statue's size, precision details, and sculpture expertise lives you in awe. The Accademia's smaller size allows for a more intimate experience. It highlights Michelangelo's works as well as adding meaningful context.

You cannot visit Florence without visiting Galleria dell'Accademia to see Michelangelo's David…read more Though I had a tour guide, I felt like the pace was too slow. It's a great museum, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather beat the crowds to see David, and then take my time strolling through all the other works of art. Seeing 17' of David in person is unreal-- a human made this out of rejected marble. The magnitude of David's height and attention to detail is incredible and the lighting under a skylight highlights every vein and definition of muscle even more so. If you're looking for a deep dive art history lesson, I'd recommend using AI. Note: try to book skip-the-line tickets in advance. If you're unable to, you can try to book through a third party booking system such as Viator, but you'll be paying more.

Francesca really knows her craft. I met her and learned about her business at the booth she had at…read morethe Limonaia di Villa Strozzi for the Yelp event "Fiera Enogastronomica". What a find! And I'm not just talking about the chocolate covered almonds she was offering, complete with organza mini-bags that you can take home as a treat. What I am talking about is also the event planning and organization she does. She has such a great eye for aesthetics and high attention to detail, I could definitely tell she has a passion for making anything look perfectly beautiful. As a designer, I am very picky (and to be honest, also very critical) when it comes to event presentation and visual design. She took care of even the smallest of details for her beautiful booth at the event, to me representing not only her impeccable work but her dedication to make anything she does memorable, and making it stand out from the rest. If you need anyone to plan your event I would honestly recommend Fantasia Romantica. You would not only have a fun and friendly Francesca helping you but also doing a job VERY well done.

Francesca created a detailed itinerary that took us from Florence to beach town Forte Dei Marmi, followed by the castle at Porto Venere where I proposed on the rooftop of the church with panoramic views of the rugged La Spezia coastline. After my girlfriend said "yes" (the best part!) we had dinner at the amazing restaurant underneath the castle. Because it was off season the restaurant was closed. But Francesca worked with the manager to open the restaurant just for us. Our table was decorated beautifully with flowers and candles while the doors of the restaurant were opened so we could experience the moonlight glittering against the waves as we dined. The entire day was captured by renowned photographer Thomas Harris (www.thomasharris.it) who, in addition to being an amazingly artistic photographer, exhibited an oscar worthy performance by pretending to be shooting for an Italian tourist magazine as he shadowed our every move. Thank you Francesca for a day that we will remember forever.
