Florence Luxury Holidays

Florence offers a unique mix of ancient history and a thriving modern metropolis. Known as Italy’s Renaissance City, it’s famously associated with the 15th century artists of Michelangelo, Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci and is the ideal base to explore the surrounding countryside in Tuscany.

At Azure, our luxury holidays in Florence provide top class accommodation, delicious cuisine and plenty of unforgettable experiences.

Art and culture

Florence contains an abundance of stunning art and architecture, and much of it remains unchanged since the Renaissance. Wander narrow streets to marvel at the elegant 15th and 16th-century palaces, medieval chapels and churches decorated with ornate frescoes.

There are a variety of world-class art museums in the city, where you can find paintings by Botticelli, Michelangelo and other great Italian artists.

The Duomo is Florence’s most iconic landmark with its distinctive red-tiled cupola that took over 150 years to complete.

Food and wine

The fine restaurants and luxury hotels in Florence offer dishes made from locally-sourced products. Sustainability is important to the Florentines, with fresh vegetables, fruit and meat produced in ways that have minimum impact on the environment.

The city has a wide range of places to sample the cuisine, from fine dining eateries with top Tuscan chefs to family-run food trucks selling local delicacies such as tripe panino. Slow food is a tradition in the region, so eat like the locals and take your time over your meal.

The hills that surround Florence contain many vineyards that produce quality local wine - the perfect accompaniment to your meal.

Tuscany

When you want a change of scenery, escape the bustle of the city and explore the beautiful landscapes of the Tuscany region.

The countryside offers some of Italy’s most picture-perfect scenery, including gently rolling hills, cypress avenues, golden wheat fields, olive groves and vineyards. Many of these areas grow produce that make up the ingredients for the simple but delicious Tuscan food.

Tuscany is a wonderful place to explore on foot, in an open-top car or by bicycle.

Nightlife

A typical night out in Florence starts with a cocktail in one of the sophisticated bars. You’ll also find a selection of intimate clubs and live music venues where you can enjoy drinks and dancing.

The Auditorium FLOG has an eclectic mix of film, world music, live gigs and DJ sessions. For something a little different, head to the Sala Vanni to listen to some jazz music.
