Relais La Capricciosa
Unforgettable Experiences
Florence is not visited — it is lived. Every Relais La Capricciosa experience is designed to go beyond tourism and touch the soul of the most beautiful city in the world.
Our Approach
Every Experience, Tailored to You
Our Art Concierge works discreetly to turn every desire into reality. Accessing the Uffizi's private rooms before public opening, creating your own fragrance with an Oltrarno perfumer, tasting a Brunello di Montalcino directly in the cellar — we make the seemingly impossible possible. Contact us before your arrival and together we will build your ideal Florentine stay.
Culture & Heritage
Private Uffizi Gallery Tour
Exclusive access to the Uffizi Gallery with an art historian as your personal guide: a bespoke itinerary through Botticelli, Caravaggio and Leonardo, entry before public opening hours, and extended time before the works you love most. The Primavera as you have never seen it.
From 2.5h • Max 6 people
Accademia & Michelangelo's David
A private visit to the Galleria dell'Accademia with in-depth historical commentary: the unfinished Prisoners, the original sketches, and finally the David — in complete silence, without the crowds. An intimate encounter with the absolute masterpiece of the Renaissance.
From 1.5h • Max 8 people
Palazzo Pitti & Boboli Gardens
The Medici residence and the most important formal garden in Europe: a guided tour of the state rooms, the Palatine Gallery with its Raphaels and Titians, and a walk through the Boboli Gardens among fountains, grottos, and cypress trees.

Florentine Perfume Workshop
Create your own personal fragrance in an Oltrarno perfumer's workshop, using Florentine ingredients — iris, cypress, bergamot, jasmine. A unique formula, bottled and signed, to take home as an exclusive keepsake.
