ABOUT ARCETRI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2020 we manage more properties downtown Florence and in Lucca, we host small private cooking classes and have developed our \u201cHugs from Home\u201d business, to help visitors with traveling advice, recommendations and gifts baskets with local delicacies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Philosophy<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\u201cAnte lucrum nomen<\/em>\u201d, this important Latin motto means that our name, our reputation counts more than our profit<\/strong>. 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. <\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Why Arcetri?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Our company is named after a fascinating hill overlooking Florence. This is where it all started: our passion for the country, our interest in real estate and thrill for international connections and hospitality.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The word Arcetri comes from Latin “arcis veteris”<\/em>, meaning ancient fortification. It reflects reliability and continuity, the principles driving our work.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
