Olio & Convivium

With 250 Tuscan Wines and 60 different local olive oils carefully stored in charming frescoed Palazzo Capponi, Oil & Convinium is king of the gourmet scene in Florence and Tuscany. This is a restaurant (and a good one) as well as a boutique so why not have a lunch here before making your purchase! Oil tasting available on appointment.

Shopping

When it comes to shopping, Tuscany is Italy at its finest. Boutiques overflowing with crystalware, jewels and gold pieces of art, leather or high quality Italian fabrics : the streets and towns of Tuscany would not be the same without their floating sense of exclusivity and luxury. But the region is also a constant celebration of traditional houseware, ceramics and terracotta plates, where the handmade is king. And if your heart has a stronger tilt for the pleasures of the palate, exploring the region's cities and countryside is always the occasion for wine tasting (one word: Chianti), trying some traditional pastry or marvel in the local olive oil and other natural products.
