Art and Nature
A focus of Italian culture, Florence is the homeland of art. A city which more than any other was home to the splendours of the Renaissance, it is an essential stop for all enthusiasts. Less well-known, but of great artistic value, are the small rural centres which surround it: ancient villages that have remained intact over the centuries that can be reached in just a few minutes from the Meridiana Country Hotel, such as Scarperia, Vicchio, Carmignano, Poggio a Caiano and Borgo San Lorenzo.
