“If you want the benefit of Florence’s art treasures without the traffic and crowds, the old-fashioned, family-run Bencistà is a good choice. Situated just under Fiesole in beautiful terraced gardens overlooking Florence, it is filled with antiques and quirky corners. No two bedrooms are alike; try and book one with a view. A long time favourite of ours ... long may it continue in just the same vein.”
