Overview

Arriving at Florence Airport (Peretola) and heading to Piazzale Michelangelo? A private transfer is the most comfortable way to begin your time in Florence. Instead of queuing for a taxi or riding the tram with your bags, a professional, English-speaking driver meets you in the arrivals hall, helps with your luggage and drives you directly to Piazzale Michelangelo in Oltrarno hillside.

Florence's own airport (Amerigo Vespucci), just northwest of the city. Every transfer includes real-time flight monitoring, meet & greet, luggage assistance and a fixed, all-inclusive fare — a genuine door-to-door service with no meter and no hidden charges.

Why Choose a Private Transfer

Public options from Florence each have drawbacks: the tram to the centre means managing luggage and a final walk, the taxi rank can queue at peak times, and ride-sharing is limited in Florence. A private transfer removes all of that — one fixed price, a guaranteed driver and a direct ride to Piazzale Michelangelo.

About Piazzale Michelangelo

Piazzale Michelangelo is the panoramic terrace on the Oltrarno hillside that offers the classic postcard view over Florence, the Arno and the Duomo.
