🍂 Buongiorno from Florence, where I’m settling in for a full month of slow living, Italian style! November here means fewer crowds, giving me the perfect chance to wander and discover the Florence that locals love—hidden spots, quieter piazzas, and treasures usually tucked away behind waves of summer visitors.
In all, Florence in November is an enchanting mix of art, history, and charm, ideal for soaking up the city’s beauty at an easy pace. Here’s a taste of what I’ll be exploring:
🍴Trattorias tucked away in Oltrarno—authentic Tuscan flavors at spots that feel like a true escape, each dish a love letter to this region.
🎭 La Pergola Theatre - an intimate and historic space perfect for catching an Italian play or performance that’s pure Florentine culture.
🖼️ Private gallery tours - finally, space to enjoy Renaissance masterpieces at my own pace, ideal for art lovers who savor every detail.
🍷Chianti wine tastings - cool autumn weather and fewer crowds make November the perfect time to roam the vineyards and sip soul-warming reds.
🌿 Boboli Gardens - tranquil and breathtaking, the fall leaves and quiet paths are a dream for anyone craving nature with a side of history.
From cafés to boutiques, I’m diving deep into the lesser-seen Florence to bring you new finds and insider tips for your next Italian escape! 🌟

A gorgeous sunny early Spring day at Lake Como. Enjoying every bit of bright sunshine and an Aperol spritz, too!
The sumptuous breakfast spread at Grand Tremezzo Lake Como.
Waking up to a glorious sun-filled morning at Grand Tremezzo in Lake Como is just…everything. @ghtlakecomo @perfettotraveler
Day 1 in Doha unfolded as a whirlwind exploration of all the must-see spots and attractions. With just one full day on the agenda, we aimed to soak in as much as humanly possible! Our adventure kicked off with a tour of the state-of-the-art cruise port and the vibrant Mina Districts, teeming with shops and restaurants. Next stop: the remarkable Pearl island, a man-made marvel akin to Palm Jumeirah, boasting shops, residences, dining options, and – surprise, surprise – a Venetian canal!
We then ventured to the Cultural Village, where we experienced the enchanting Friday noon call to prayer at the Blue Mosque. Post-prayer, we indulged in a memorable waterfront lunch at the incredible #bohosocialqatar (seriously contemplating a return for their amazing brunch!). Our cultural journey continued with visits to both the #museumofislamicarts, housing artifacts dating back to the 4th Century and offering some of the best-framed views of the Qatar skyline, and the #nationalmuseumofqatar, treating us to a captivating exploration of the country’s history – a hit for both adults and kids alike.
After a quick pitstop at the hotel to freshen up, we wrapped up the day with a visit to the old market – surprisingly not looking old at all but rather a refreshed version of the souq that has stood in the same spot for centuries. As the sun set on this Friday night, everyone was out savoring the incredible weather (70 degrees and no humidity). What a spectacular day! Next on the agenda: off to #zulalwellnessresort. Stay tuned for more adventures!
