Our Neighbourhood

A city deeply connected to art, architecture and, of course, food (who doesn’t love a Fiorentina steak and glass of Sangiovese wine?), it’s easy to fall for Florence’s headline acts. The marble façade of the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral, say, or the ochre-tinted Ponte Vecchio at sunset. But it’s the experience of Firenze day-by-day that truly captures the heart. From vintage photo booths to beloved gelaterias, to galleries hidden away in cobblestone streets, this is the locals’ take on Florence.

Fotoautomatica

These impossibly picturesque vintage photo booths are dotted around the city of Florence - type “Fotoautomatica” into Google Maps to find your nearest one. The lovingly restored cabins, some of which date back to the 1950s, create black-and-white photos as an ode to the magic of analogue cameras. A fun, romantic way to remember the city. Check it out
Shelves displaying a variety of canned and jarred foods in Sforno store.

S.Forno

S.Forno is part of Il Santo Bevitore, a foodie trio in the hip Oltrarno district that includes a gourmet restaurant, an aperitif joint and this charming corner bakery. Stock up on homemade pastries and typical schiacciata – similar to a focaccia – filled with finocchiona (a local salami). Or shop for Italian deli treats such as olive oil, balsamic vinegar and homemade granola. At lunchtime, there’s a daily menu that ranges from seasonal salads to quiches, sandwiches and, if you’re lucky, a bowlful of the classic Tuscan Pappa al Pomodoro. Check it out

Vivoli Gelateria

Home to an affogato that went viral on social media, Vivoli is a small, centrally located shop with major aesthetic appeal. This family-run business has been serving dairy delights to the people of Florence since the 1930s. Fast-forward to today, and its ice-cream soaked in Italian espresso is the stuff of legend – more than worth the time you’ll spend queuing. For extra taste points, try the pistachio or hazelnut varieties. Check it out

Greci-o

Elisabetta is an interior designer who recently opened a little shop to showcase some of her favourite travel finds. A true cabinet of curiosities awaits in what she describes as ‘un bel fritto misto’ – meaning ‘a great mix’ of things. Pop by to browse her range of beautiful artisanal homeware, from Florentine artwork to Apulian antiques, as well as Berber bags and Tongan weaves from Zimbabwe. Check it out
Stone steps ascending, surrounded by lush garden foliage - Gardini Bardini

Giardino Bardini

One of the most poetic green spaces in Florence, Giardino Bardini is perched on a hill with magnificent views of the city below. Stroll among ancient trees, fruit orchards and enchanting displays of roses and azaleas, as you admire garden landmarks including a Baroque staircase and a water fountain display feature. For the full wow factor, visit during May and see the wisteria pergola in full lilac bloom. Check it out

Trattoria La Casalinga

Since its inception in the 1960s, this classic trattoria has been a family-run affair. When you dine here, you’ll be part of a vibrant community of locals who’ll happily stand in line for the great conversation and feel-good local fare. It’s as popular as you’d expect for a place that does a fine line in simple yet delicious pasta dishes featuring Tuscan ingredients. Check it out

Campucc10

Tucked away on one of the oldest streets in Oltrarno, a neighbourhood known for its art and crafts heritage, this small exhibition space is a treasure trove of both contemporary and traditional work, and also features a shop selling original ceramics, sculpture, artwork and jewellery. If you’re looking for an out-of-the-box experience in Florence, they occasionally host workshops, too. Check it out
Hand holding an ice cream cone and scooping yellow gelato into it, at SBrino.

Sbrino

Regularly touted as one of the best gelaterias in Florence, Sbrino is recognised in Italy’s prestigious Gambero Rosso guide. Natural ingredients sourced from nearby farms are the order of the day here, from hazelnut and pistachio creams to mulberry and citrus sorbets. You’ll also find vegan and gluten-free flavours, alongside an ever-joyful selection of boozy slushies - think watermelon granita served with a splash of vodka. Check it out
Shelves displaying a variety of bottles of wine and some art work hanging on the wall.

Vineria Sonora

Vineria Sonora attracts a young, fun-loving crowd which gathers for small plates such as anchovies on toast or burrata with warm tomato and olives – plus a limitless supply of natural wines. Browse them by label or try by the glass and you’re sure to stumble upon something you like. Vinyl tracks are another big draw here - you’ll find posters, records and live sets keeping the party rolling to the early hours. Check it out
