Great traveler, lover of art in general (music, cooking, painting, sculpture...). I am a chef graduated from the Cordon Bleu in Paris. I have traveled a lot in recent years: one year St. Croix (US Virgin Islands), 3 years Los Roques (Venezuela), one year Mallorca, 7 years Paris, where I was the owner of the "Caffè Boboli" renowned seafood restaurant, 4 years Valencia where I created a restaurant at the port and worked for the 32nd America's Cup. I have three children, all born in a different country and a beautiful German wife, former fashion director of Christian Dior and Ferragamo and painter whose works adorn most of our apartments, we live in Chianti, near Florence. Art Apartment Florence was born in 2012 from the passion of its founder David Cianferoni, who, thanks to his Florentine origins and culture, welcomes his guests, in collaboration with his staff, with a sense of courteous hospitality and joviality; traditions that have distinguished Florence since the time of the Medici. The company has 20 apartments selected with care and taste, located from the city center to the hills, capable of hosting from 2 to 6 guests, to satisfy the various needs of customers to whom all attention is paid by providing reception with: information about the city, places of cultural interest, events, typical places to eat and anything else needed to make your stay more comfortable and unforgettable.
