Our Signature Tours

Due to a collaboration with some professional guides we are able to offer to our guests unique, special and exclusive tours.

History of the Tornabuoni family

Discover the fascinating history of the Tornabuoni family. On this tour your guide will shed light on the life of this family and life of the privileged families living in Florence during the 15th and 16th centuries. Going down Tornabuoni street there will be many palaces with incredible stories to talk about. After this first introduction you will enter inside Santa Maria Novella church and see with your own eyes the amazing works of art these patrons commissioned, learn about the famous school where their heirs got their education, and reach the main chapel in the center of the apse commissioned by the Tornabuoni family. Here you will admire the frescoes done by Ghirlandaio and his students (one of which was Michelangelo) and relish in the beauty of Renaissance art and way of describing religious stories.
Price is Euro 350 for 2 people with 3 hours of duration

Golf Day at Circolo Ugolino

The course was designed by an Englishman and an Irishman, Cecil Blandford and Peter Gannon. They used the natural contours of the Chianti slopes to produce an outstanding course, threaded through the indigenous vines, olive trees, maritime pines, and broom. The course is not long but demands a high degree of skill. The greens are small and well defended by bunkers. The sloping fairways also present a great challenge. In his book Fifty Places to Play Golf Before You Die, Chris Santella includes Ugolino as one of the fifty places to play.
