Florence, Italy
Discover Italy’s dreamiest city while staying in Inspirato’s Florence accommodations.

Lusso Moderno is our largest Florentine villa, an urban oasis with eclectic and modern interior design.

Baglioni Relais Santa Croce and Rocco Forte’s Hotel Savoy are both within walking distance to popular Florence attractions.
The Cradle of the Renaissance
Florence moves at a slower pace than Rome or Venice, which only enhances its dreaminess. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, the city is perhaps most famous for its artwork—stand before world-famous works by Michelangelo, da Vinci, Botticelli, Titian, and more. Visit the Accademia Gallery to see the exquisite sculpture of Michelangelo's David and his unfinished Prisoners. Shop artisanal Italian leather goods in Piazza San Lorenzo. Enjoy fresh gelato on a sidewalk cafe. There’s no better place to catch the sunset than the hilltop Piazzale Michelangelo; pack a picnic, settle in, and enjoy the lively conversation around you as the sun sets over the city.
