Treehouse Dinner

In celebration of a milestone birthday, guests were awarded access to an exclusive secret treehouse in the historic center of Florence for an elegant evening of fine dining under the majestic foliage of a weeping beech tree that towers over perfectly manicured gardens.

To begin the experience, guests were collected from their hotel by a fleet of private tuk-tuks and were chauffeured to the hilltop town of Fiesole which perches high above Florence. Guests arrived just before sunset to a waiting bottle of fine, chilled champagne, where they could enjoy every moment of the twinkling lights of the city of Florence below and gaze at the Renaissance capital’s mesmerizing skyline. 

Post aperitif, guests returned to their private transport for the main event: a 4-course dinner in a secluded treehouse tucked into the manicured gardens of a five-star hotel, in the very heart of Florence’s historic center. The dining table, nestled under the thick canopy of an old beech tree dating back to 1850, was set with a rich and wholesome meal of regional favorites. Soft, white candles filled the dining area, and fairy lights hung in the tree branches all around. Ambient classical music played in the background to create a magical ambiance inspired by a Midsummer Night’s Dream.
