FLORENCE & TUSCANY: FXLUXE TRAVEL GUIDES BY FLEXJET

Private Jet Your Way to the Perfect Setting for Far Niente

From the terracotta-tiled rooftops and Renaissance-style architecture of Florence to the rolling hills and sprawling vineyards of Tuscan wine country, this region of Italy seduces and allures from the moment one arrives. Known for safeguarding some of the world’s most celebrated art and relished wines, Florence and Tuscany are abundant in culture, offering the perfect getaway to indulge one’s senses and mind. As a premier FXLUXE trip, this destination has captured the heart of our Chairman, Kenn Ricci—along with so many others romanced by the charisma and natural beauty of the region.

MAKINGS OF A MASTERPIECE

The cobblestone streets of Firenze reflect a rich history of art, innovation and heritage. Some artistic geniuses who called the city home include Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael—helping Florence earn the nickname “the art palace of Italy”. Once you step foot in this storied city, it is apparent why some of history’s most iconic masterpieces were created there. Inspiration awaits at every turn, with some of the world’s finest curated museums, towering basilicas racing toward the skies and charming cafes lining every street. It is nearly impossible to not be moved by the wonders you discover in this Italian metropolis.

MODERN LUXURY MEETS HISTORIC BEAUTY

What started as an artist’s mecca is now a modern-day, global city drawing travelers from all across the world  to live, visit and explore. Popular sights like the Piazza Del Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and Michaelangelo’s David are must-sees and can all be accomplished in one day. Like many European cities, Florence is extremely walkable, especially between May and September when the weather is more temperate. Our FXLUXE Travel Concierge can arrange private guided tours with exclusive access to the best treasures of Florence, ensuring you get a completely custom, intimate immersion.

Of course, it is not a true Italian adventure without the option for some retail relaxation. The locals know that fashion is wearable art and are sure to dress accordingly. That is why we have arranged personal shopping opportunities and master perfumer appointments—chic and fun excursions that do not require a guided tour or a history degree. This truly unique experience grants exclusive access to ultra-extravagant fashion houses, including a private visit to Prada to view and purchase items not available to the public.

After a day of sightseeing and shopping, you will certainly need a pick-me-up. As your liaison to the city, our FXLUXE Travel Concierge can direct you to authentic gelato, espresso, vino and antipasto spots that are sure to delight even the most discerning connoisseurs. Whether you opt for a quaint, street-side patio or luxe rooftop setup, there is not a bad view in the city to enjoy refreshments and indulge in the beauty of the moment. When dinner time rolls around, our Travel Concierge has personally vetted the finest culinary offerings Firenze has to offer. Depending on your taste and preferred itinerary, your reservations will be handled to your exact specifications. Simply enjoy the benefit of having the best of the best discovered and arranged for you.

A TASTE OF THE PROVINCIAL LIFE

Once you have reveled in the bustling energy of Florence, a pastoral oasis sits just a short drive outside the city. While Tuscany refers to the entire region, including Florence, it often specifically refers to its bountiful wine country. This area is divided into various regions each known for their distinctive wines.  Some notable regions include Montalcino, Montepulciano and most famously, Chianti. Our FXLUXE Travel Concierge has selected several world-renowned vineyards for aircraft Owners to visit during their stay.

The poignant juxtaposition provided by the views of Tuscan hills and ambient sounds of idyllic country life offer a welcome respite from the excitement of the city. If you are interested in enhancing your provincial escape, you may choose to add a luxury stargazing evening to your itinerary. We have also included some more adventurous options like vintage car and helicopter journeys for those looking for a more thrill-seeking trip. Of course, the benefit of an FXLUXE destination is that aircraft Owners have the option to choose their preferred balance of relaxation and adventure while leaving all the detailed planning to us.
