Ludwig Waldburg

We are obsessed with this cafe’s slogan: “Als ik sneuvel, dan bij Heuvel” - meaning if I die, let me die in the Heuvel. And we may do just that. This classic brown cafe is perfect for whiling away an afternoon with a few 'flautjes'.

It’s pretty tough to pick favourites in our wonderful city, but, if pressed, we might go out on a limb and say that Café de Wetering is our very favourite bar in Amsterdam. It’s the true definition of gezellig. There’s a roaring fireplace upstairs and plenty of games to keep you entertained if the beers aren’t quite doing it.

In the mood for traditional Tuscan cuisine? Pop into Antica Bettola in the heart of Florence. It's warm, cosy and just the kind of place you want to spend an evening in the Renaissance gem.

Come for the aperitivi. Stay for hours (or forever!). We love popping by the perennially chic La Ménagère before a typically late Italian dinner.

Picture this: you're lying in the shade of the lush leafy garden, there's a stunning salt-water pool on your right and a cocktail to your left. Sounds like a dream, right? Locanda Al Colle offers a tranquil escape in the gorgeous Forte dei Marmi.

We can't think of anything more romantic than enjoying classic, traditional Tuscan dishes while enjoying the stunning views of the Piazza della Passera. 4 Leoni has been a staple in the neighbourhood for the past thirty years!

A simply lovely beach club, especially very well equipped for families. Bagno America is located to the east of Forte dei Marmi, in the Roma Imperiale area, the most famous part of the town.  

It takes a bit of courage to step into this very local, very traditional restaurant. Steeped in authenticity and just really, really good food, it is hard not to expect every Florentine to be found here. Walk in like you know exactly what you're doing, and order the Ribolita, Brasciola alla Fiorentina, and a quartino di rosso della casa - or carafe of their house red wine.

Book your dream wedding at this stunning private estate with stunning views over Florence. Villa Il Garofalo is a testament of timeless elegance, and is the perfect spot for your luxurious wedding or an ultra-chic dinner party. Whatever brings you here, be prepared to feel like you are in a movie. 

Take in the beautiful ocean views at Maria Grazia in Nerano. You must order their famous spaghetti alla Nerano, it is where is was invented after all.
