Introduction

The Renaissance city of Florence is beautifully defined by the great masters of the 15th and 16th centuries. Not only a city that houses the works of icons like Donatello, Michelangelo and Botticelli, it continues to celebrate artistic expression through its modern-day master craftsmen and artisans. On this suggested itinerary, we’ve arranged a stay in a luxury apartment that overlooks the iconic Duomo. The perfect place to appreciate the city of Florence, ancient palazzos, art collections and artisans’ shopfronts are right on your doorstep. We’ve also arranged a rental car so that you have plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding towns, cities and countryside if you so wish.

What people are saying

Conor in OROKO arranged a holiday this summer for us and our four teenage boys. We were unsure where to go and his advice was fantastic! He took over completely after a consultation about our expectations, taking into consideration our boys’ needs too! He most certainly delivered a tremendous holiday for us all – way beyond what we could have done ourselves, with each of our three destinations better than the last. All incredibly located and absolutely stunning!

Everything was done for us – check-ins/five-star transfers/individual bag tags/ferry transfers with all seats pre-booked! Conor was incredibly helpful, patient, knowledgable and open. It made our trip truly memorable from conception to finish and I cannot fathom planning a trip again without OROKO! Thank you for everything we will never forget it!
