What to do and see in Santa Maria Novella, Tuscany: The Best Historic Sites

August 8, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

Florence is an art historian’s dream. The Galleria dell'Accademia bursts with works by Michelangelo, who is entombed within the frescoed walls of the Basilica di Santa Croce. Budding photographers can snap pics of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and serious shoppers can spend a blissful afternoon wandering the shops of Piazza Santo Spirito. Tuscan cuisine pays homage to the region’s bounty. Swipe a hunk of crusty bread across a pool of local olive oil and you’ll be instantly transported to your happiest place.

Palazzo Antinori

Commissioned by Giovanni in the fifteenth-century, this spectacular palace is an excellent example of the power and wealth of the noble class during that time.

Having enjoyed Antinori wines in the past, we were excited to have dinner at Palazzo Antinori. It was excellent, all the way around. Great wine...great food...great ambiance! I highly recommend this restaurant.
