Experiences
Living the Villa
To live the villa is to enter its rhythm — to wander among its gardens, breathe in its fragrances, and follow the traces of those who shaped its spirit. Every experience at Villa Gamberaia reveals a new way of inhabiting beauty.
Villa Gamberaia invites its guests to immerse themselves in experiences that weave together nature, history, and culture — a continuous dialogue between the past and the present.
Within the villa, guests can take part in an experiential garden tour, an enchanting walk through centuries of history that reveals the artistry of its design, the rhythm of its spaces, and the botanical treasures that make Gamberaia one of the most poetic gardens of the Tuscan Renaissance.
Alongside this, we offer an olfactory workshop in collaboration with Extra Virgo, a botanical couture brand that celebrates the beauty of nature through the creation of fine fragrances. The workshop introduces participants to the natural elements forming the essence of the brand’s perfumes, exploring the evocative power of scent as both a poetic and sensory language.
Together with Extra Virgo, guests may also experience the Incense Ceremonies — intimate, ritual encounters that trace the cultural and symbolic role of perfume, uncovering its anthropological and magical history through time.
Experiences inside & outside Villa Gamberaia
Outside the Villa with Ghyka
Finally, inspired by the figure of Princess Jeanne Ghyka, the villa’s tutelary spirit, our team curates a selection of cultural itineraries in Florence: a visit to the Opificio delle Pietre Dure, a journey through late 19th-century style at the Costume Gallery in Palazzo Pitti, and a tour of the Uffizi focused on its gallery of portraits — revealing the lives of those who shaped Florence between the Belle Époque and the dawn of the modern age.
