I love to take care of our guests by showing them Florence's particular locations frequented by Florentine.

Why they chose this property
We traveled a lot (and still do!), for business reasons and for leisure, and we really like to get in touch with people coming from other cultures. That's how we came out with the idea of buying Principio apartment. "Principio" means "beginning", and we hope that it will be the beginning of your wonderful stay here in Italy, and at the same time, a very good beginning of our activity.
What makes this property unique
Principio is in the perfect location both for visiting Florence and for travelling around It. Via dell'Alloro is a very quiet street. The apartment is at the first floor of an ancient Florentine building and you can reach it with only 20 stairs. It is a lovely apartment with all the amenities, furnished with the typical Italian taste. I also organize PRIVATE DAILY-TOURS TO THE TUSCAN COUNTRYSIDE WITH WINE TASTING: Duration about 9/10 houres. A private driver will be available for you for movements from a place to another.

-Visit to the Monteriggioni fortress
Afterwards you will travelling to one of the beautiful wine estate to enjoy a wine cellar tour , a lunch or snack and wine tasting while sitting surrounded by vinegards.
Possibility of buying or booking wine, oil, balsamic vinegar from the estate at advantageous prices
