Join us for this chic and tasteful vacation exclusive to Food N Wine Vacations.

Florence is one of the world's artistic captials, a monument to the Renaissance and a thriving industrial centre. Florence has more than one million works of Renaissance art - among them Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's Birth of Venus. A hub of Italian fashion since the 1950's, Florence is the birthplace of global brands like gucci, Pucci, and Robert Cavalli, and the city's most influential fashion clan - the Ferragamo - has turned its renowned sense of style to four hip hotels across town, breathing new life into the previously staid lodgings scene. Add to that succulent Florentine steaks, some of the world's greatest wines, the traditional artisan workshops of the Oltrarno, and Brunelleschi's famous masterpiece dome, and it's not so hard to see how Firenze remains as popular as top European cities five time its size.

About the hotel: J.K. Place is a sophisticated charming boutique hotel. A combination of classic and contemporary dêcor meets high-tech Luxury. It is located in the heart of downtown Florence, yet, hidden away behind a charming door. There is a sense of calm here, like a sophisticated home with books to read and drinks and cakes left for guests to help themselves. J.K. place follows a philosophy of hospitatility that is truly different. The J.K. place feels more like a private mansion than a hotel, with fire burning in every room and the patina of old masters offset by contemporary artifacts.
