3. Have a Picnic with a View

Pack a picnic  and climb the steps up to Piazzale Michelangelo for a panoramic view of the city.

4. Rent a Villa on a Tuscan Vineyard

Stay at a gorgeous villa and sip some of the best wine in the world while looking out over a green-gold Tuscan vineyard.

5.  Go on a Weekend Trip to Rome

Take the train to explore one of the most historically, religiously, and culturally relevant cities in all of Europe. 

6. Hike Between Towns in Cinque Terre

Hike the paths or rent a boat to journey between these five villages built into the rugged, steep Ligurian coastline. 

7. Gorge Yourself on Italian Food

Your notion of "Italian food" might be turned on its head as soon as you taste the first bite of a true Italian meal.

8. Take a Day Trip to Pisa or Siena

Both cities are an easy rental car's drive away, perfect for a day trip to explore and enjoy with your fellow WiFi Tribers.

Highlights

The Historic Centre of Florence, with its narrow alleys, cobbled streets and medieval and Renaissance buildings, has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1982.

We are staying in beautiful traditional Santa Croce, home of the Basilica di Santa Croce, which houses the tombs of some of the most prominent figures in Italian history, including Michelangelo and Galileo Galilei. 

The neighbourhood is known for its vibrant square filled with restaurants, cafes and artisan workshops making it an ideal place to relax and people-watch. With its central location, the Santa Croce neighbourhood provides easy access to other popular attractions in Florence, including the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery.

We have six stunning Renaissance-style apartments (17 bedrooms in total) distributed across three properties. Some of them are between 400-500 years old and within 10min walking distance from each other.

Each apartment has a unique look and feel with super high ceilings and partially covered in fresco art. One of them is on the top floor with a beautiful terrace overlooking Florence which will be perfect for our Tribal Tuesdays. 

You will have access to multiple living rooms with dining tables for varied coworking setups.

Good to Know

Florence's local airport is small and serves only a limited number of flights. Check the nearby Pisa International Airport for better, cheaper flights into the area, and then hop on a train or shuttle bus to Florence. It's only about an hour's ride away. 

The beautiful architectural renaissance buildings are by design different and generally have smaller bathrooms, windows, narrower hallways, often lack lifts, have thicker walls and make it difficult to undertake infrastructural upgrades (especially due to its Unesco World Heritage status). 

With each apartment having its own unique look and feel, expect the decor, furniture and layout to be significantly different from one another. 

Please, come with an eco-friendly mindset especially during a time when Europe is grappling with an energy crisis as well climate change challenges. Despite us going to Florence during peak season and summer, we ask you to be very mindful of the AC use on this chapter and not leave it on once you left the house. 

If you're planning on visiting any of the major museums (like the Uffizi Gallery or the Galleria dell’Accademia), do yourself a favor and pre-book your tickets. Otherwise, you'll spend ages standing in long, slow, hot lines rather than enjoying once-in-a-lifetime masterpieces.

Florence has an epic amount of history and culture packed into an extremely walkable center area. You won't need a car or even public transport to get around the city itself, though if you want to explore the surrounding region of Tuscany, renting a car is likely your best option. If you're looking into day or weekend trips to other major Italian cities, trains will get you there easily, reliably, and for a good price.
