LET’S DISCOVER FLORENCE WITH VITTORIO D’OTTAVIO

I began my career in professional hospitality in 2016 at the iconic and charming Hotel Savoy, part of Rocco Forte Family. I have always been a racted to the hotel business and in luxury hospitality, despite my different professional background. My natural tendency to empathize with people, helped me understand from the very beginning that it was not just a passion but a real vocation. I started as a receptionist but my way of being curious and full of interests, made me closer to the concierge world, all exalted by living in this unique city that is Florence. In fact, in 2019 I became a concierge and in 2022 I finally received the Golden Keys, which were followed by the unexpected nomination of treasurer of Tuscan association. This made me very proud. Special thanks to all my colleagues who always believed in me. I feel that this is not a profession but a way of life. Satisfying and anticipating the guest’s needs (sometimes before they even know what they’re looking for), are my 2 must. What instead enriches my life is being the father of an exhilarating 6-yearold boy, but also playing tennis and playing the saxophone.

Horticulture Garden

One of Firenze’s Most Breathtaking Parks. Not normally visited by tourists. Visitors come to admire the flowers and plants grown during the months of April and May. At the end of April, there is the Mostra di piante e Fiori, a grand market of all the plants and flowers from all over Tuscany.
