Eclectic Art-Inspired Design

Whisper Wine Bar and Courtyard
Playing jazz and soul music, Whisper Wine Bar and Courtyard was the cultural salon where the British ladies’ community “Scorpions” used to meet during the 1930s and gossip on Florentine life with biting criticism. This community of British women expatriates served as the muse for the film Tea with Mussolini. Whisper sits at the centre of the hotel serving a plethora of drinks including signature cocktails and Tuscan wines. The open-air courtyard houses a serene inner garden encouraging visitors to bask in the Tuscan sun or take cover in the shade under one of the many parasols. The multi-purpose space seamlessly transforms to a venue capable of hosting a diverse range of gatherings, from thoughtfully curated events on literature, poetry and art exhibitions to vibrate live music and performances.
