ABOUT ARCETRI
We started our business in 2012, managing short term homes in the countryside near Florence. In 2016 we added 2 studios 15 minutes walk from Ponte Vecchio. We also started organizing small events, workshops for kids and arts classes.
Since 2020 we manage more properties downtown Florence and in Lucca, we host small private cooking classes and have developed our “Hugs from Home” business, to help visitors with traveling advice, recommendations and gifts baskets with local delicacies.
Our Team
Over the past years we have built experience in the touristic business and have selected a small network
of trustworthy, specialized people to work with. We focus on high level hospitality in Florence and Tuscany
and on activities aimed at enriching our guests’ experience in Tuscany.
Carlotta
A dear guest described me as “a thoughtful friend to go to in Florence” and I strive to always be so.
Tina
I love to host our dessert workshops and also prepare our gifts baskets. It’s so rewarding, especially on Valentine’s Day!
Marco
I am in charge of the accounting and I care about selecting the best supplies for our homes and our gift baskets.
Neri
So many special itineraries here that a professional driver/guide is often the answer to save time and… choose wineries.
Vieri
I’m a professional chef and a sommelier. I love to discuss about wine pairing while showing how to prepare a good dish.
Barbara
I care about our homes in Tuscany. My long experience as a host helps me give good recommendations about our territory.
Lucia
I am a qualified tour guide in Florence and Tuscany. My commitment is tailoring our tours according to our guests’ wishes.
Bel
Born in Lucca, I’m a professional tour guide. My guests feel like real “Lucchesi” while visiting Lucca and its outskirts.
Our Philosophy
“Ante lucrum nomen”, this important Latin motto means that our name, our reputation counts more than our profit. Although our company aims at flourishing, our clear idea about reaching our goals is: work hard and strive to do better, this is our trait and will never change. Our job is based on our reliability and on the quality of our services, because our customers count on us, expect honesty and deserve thoughtfulness.
