Breakfast in Italian Style and Visit to the Chiostro dello Scalzo
When you enter a bar in the morning, in Italy you see people in front of the counter of croissants, which are offered in the most varied declinations: empty, wholemeal with honey, with cream, chocolate or jams, puff pastry with rice cream, cream puffs, bull's eyes and all the typical morning pastries. Then you have to go to the coffee counter to order an espresso, which we simply call coffee. It doesn't matter to specify, because in Italy a coffee already means an espresso. We will then enter the Chiostro dello Scalzo, a place of the spirit of the Renaissance, away from the multitude of visitors, a place of peace, where medieval and Renaissance life can still be felt today. Sixteenth-century masterpiece by Andrea del Sarto, the "mistake-free painter" who lived in the time of Michelangelo and Leonardo. It is the most spectacular cycle of monochrome frescoes in the world. A lively tale in a muffled and monastic atmosphere, an all-Italian morning that you will never forget!

Where this sits in Florence
Florence is about 8 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. Compact enough to cross on foot in half an hour, and holding more Renaissance art than most countries. Busy in the middle and calm five minutes out; the Oltrarno side of the river is where people actually live and eat.
