Private chauffeur service across Florence
Florence's historic centre is compact, and most leading hotels sit within it, along the Arno, near the Duomo and around Via de' Tornabuoni, with villa hotels on the hills of Fiesole, Settignano and Bellosguardo. Business visitors come for fashion, leather and luxury goods, with trade fairs such as Pitti Uomo held at the Fortezza da Basso.
Much of the centre is a limited traffic zone, known as the ZTL, with camera-controlled access, so we plan drop-offs carefully and work with hotels where access can be arranged. Florence Airport is close to the city, while Pisa and Bologna serve more international routes. Spring and autumn are the busiest seasons, and summer is hot and crowded.

Getting around Florence, the easy way
Which airport is best for Florence, and how long are the transfers?
Florence Airport, also called Peretola or Amerigo Vespucci, is about 20 minutes from the centre but has a short runway and fewer routes.

At each airport your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name sign.

How do you plan a Chianti wine day with a chauffeur?
The Chianti Classico area lies between Florence and Siena, with Greve in Chianti about 45 minutes south and Castellina and Radda a little further. The SR222, known as the Chiantigiana, winds through vineyards and villages. A chauffeur lets everyone taste without worrying about driving, and a full-day booking allows two or three estate visits with lunch in between. Booking tastings in advance is recommended.
