La Dolce Vita - Firenze

Kate the Great celebration continues November 15th - 18th in the Renaissance capital - Firenze!  Home to fashion, food, art, and culture.  And home to numerous of Kate's birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and hangovers.

Let's get dressy with a formal first evening.  Black-tie optional, but beauty a must.  Cocktails and dining in one of Florence's newest Michelin Starred restaurants - Winter Garden by Caino, located in the St. Regis Hotel.

Recovery and amusements and surprises in Florence.  A casual day. Dining at the local favorite, Il Latini (in the secret wine cellar).

Happy Birthday!  Let's journey through magical Tuscany to an elegant villa filled with wine, music and a favorite chef!

The Lungarno Collection Hotels https://www.lungarnocollection.com/luxury-hotels/

Within this collection, Kate prefers the Portrait Firenze.

Florence has so many other nice hotels; our suggestion is to stay in the city center as opposed to some of the hotels on the city's outskirts.  Other favorite hotels:

Helvetia & Bristol https://www.starhotelscollezione.com/en/our-hotels/helvetia-and-bristol-florence/

St. Regis http://www.stregisflorence.com/?SWAQ=958C

Airport of Florence (FLR) is the closest airport; although we have also flown into Rome or Milan and taken the train into Florence.  From the States, you typically need to connect in another major city, such as London or Paris.  From there, regional European airlines fly into Florence.  Pro Tip: Do not check overly large suitcases as they may miss the flight; pack two or more medium large bags rather than a large bag.
