Fernando has given Florence another reason to visit it, adding a bit more ‘spiciness’ to our Pitti evenings. Giving Harry's bar a rebirth and establishing it to an environment that is perfectly suited. He is setting our regular date every January and June with WM Brown and one of the best parties hosted in Florence during the fair.

Fernando Pane apart from being the General Manager of the most elegant and vibrant hotel in Florence, a very talented Instagram content creator with a genuine smile and energy, a true life wanderer and aesthetics connoisseur, a maestro of accommodation and a true advocate of memorable ideas and projects.

From the moment you step into the beautiful lobby of Sina Villa Medici, the genuine smile of the welcoming staff sets the tone for a stay that transcends the ordinary.  Slim Aaron's would be craving a photo shoot at this pool, and we are lucky to have the chance to enjoy it every summer. Villa Medici is a tropical paradise in the heart of Florence with an allure that transcends time.

This lavish heaven seamlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury, offering an exquisite retreat for the discerning traveller. A 24-hour sojourn within its opulent walls promises a journey through art, culture, and unparalleled indulgence. As guests and staff alike find solace in the welcoming embrace of Fernando Pane, it becomes evident that true luxury extends beyond aesthetics—it resides in the genuine care and attention invested in every interaction.

Each suite is a sanctuary of elegance, each room offers a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary sophistication. Drift into a serene slumber surrounded by the echoes of Florentine history and stunning views of today's city beauties. In just 24 hours, Hotel Villa Medici invites you to savour the essence of Florence—a city of art, culture, and timeless beauty. Each moment spent within its walls is an ode to luxury, promising an experience that transcends the ordinary and lingers in the heart long after your departure.

From an exquisite breakfast while reading your favourite book, to a lunch with a pool view of the hotel’s giardino, and later for your Aperitivo and negroni moment at Harry’s bar and next to the piano while preparing yourself for an indulgent dinner before a tasteful cigar. This is a one very day and all-year destination and Fernando is the definition of Italian hospitality! 

Because the party in Florence doesn’t start until you begin your stay there and you finish your week with a spa moment at the hotel.  Sina Villa Medici, you are the beginning and end of our untold Italian stories.

Because whatever happens at Villa stays in Villa.

A presto!

P.S. Fernando, please keep my suite available and my Negroni cold.
