LOCATION Pensione Bencistà is a three-star hotel in the small town of Fiesole near Florence, Italy. Situated in an historic XIV century villa, the Simoni family have run the hotel since 1927. A rich cultural history has imbued the villa and hotel with strong intellectual, artistic and musical values. The quiet charms of Pensione Bencistà have inspired creative thinkers for generations. Honouring this tradition, the Simoni family have hosted artists and musicians, resulting in numerous concerts and exhibitions in their grounds. Traces of the many artists’ presence hang on the walls and sit on the mantles, symbols of their inspiration and gratitude that this place continues to preserve.
