The Hotel Bernini Palace stands out for its concierge service, led by expert concierges who are members of the prestigious international association Les Clefs d’Or.

The welcome provided, the attention to detail and quality of service define the experience offered, with a team which is always available to anticipate and interpret guests’ requirements, helping make every stay unique and memorable.

TOURS

The Bernini Palace's concierge service handles organisation of transfers from and to train stations and airports, as well as booking professional guides to discover the art, history and beauty of Florence through itineraries which in some cases are off the beaten track.

Personalised tours of Tuscany are offered — taking in Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and Lucca — as well as to other Italian destinations such as Assisi, Perugia, Venice and Rome, with professional multilingual drivers.

For more exclusive experiences, excursions can be organised to the Cinque Terre, accompanied by expert drivers from the area, able to lead you in discovery of the most evocative paths and landscapes.

CORRIDOIO VASARIANO

One of the city's most exclusive experiences, it is possible to access the Corridoio Vasariano, an extraordinary elevated passage commissioned by the Medici family and designed by Giorgio Vasari.

This limited-access route offers a unique perspective on the city, crossing some of its most iconic locations. Access is possibly only via special booking.

the most important EVENTs

Our concierge service offers assistance in booking and purchasing museum tickets, including with priority access which allows you to avoid long waits. It is also possible to organise attendance of concerts, operas and cultural events, with the possibility to include dedicated transfers.

SHOPPING

Our concierges can help guests discover the best boutiques and the most exclusive shops in Florence, with the ability to make use of the services of a personal shopper.

In addition to shopping on Via Tornabuoni and the main streets in the city centre, it is also possible to organise dedicated days at luxury outlets in the area, including The Mall.

visit to the chianti area

One of the most popular experiences, a tour of the Chianti area — often combined with a visit to Siena and San Gimignano — leads to the discovery of beautiful landscapes, historic villages and authentic traditions. The experience is led by local professionals and enhanced by visits to wineries and olive groves, where local producers guide guests in wine and oil tastings, offering direct contact with the region's wine and food excellence.

COOKING CLASS

Designed for cooking enthusiasts, a cooking class is an immersive experience held in some of the most charming dwellings and castles in the area. Guests are accompanied by masters of Tuscan cooking while preparing the dishes, with the support of an interpreter where required, in a journey which brings together tradition, technique and conviviality.

Our focus on the guest is expressed through our attentive and discreet service, which is able to meet any need with the utmost professionalism.

The staff are at hand to organise personalised services, including medical assistance, tailoring, repairs to shoes and other items, shipments, well-being treatments, hairstyling services and other custom requests, guaranteeing a complete, carefree stay.
