Candida Bing

The enchanting atmosphere of this delightful home serves as the perfect haven for travelers with its flourishing green gardens, delicious food, impeccably decorated bedrooms and warm welcome by your hostess, Candida Bing.

Inside her home are displayed the many hats from when her family ran a hat business in Florence. She joined her father, Francesco Bing, in the family business which produced women’s hats for department stores and shops in Europe, America, Australia, and Japan. 

“I have lived in this house for over 40 years. It is where I have built my garden by planting every single bulb, every bush and every tree. It is also where I watched my children grow, where I painted and where I collected and sold antique pieces of garden furniture. Now that I am on my own, I love to receive guests and cook for them using my home grown olive oil, vegetables from my private patch and fruit from my garden which I enjoy making into marmalade and limoncello. I think of my home as a very peaceful place; it is close to several artistic points of interest and surrounded by vineyards with a splendid panorama. I opened up my home to share my oasis with my guests - I look forward to welcoming you to my home soon.”
