Woke in my luxury AirBNB feeling surprisingly refreshed. It’s a medieval studio with a modern bathroom that’s exactly the same height as me, exposed brick walls, standard Florentine window shutters and an ancient door that wouldn’t look out of place on an episode of Game of Thrones.

Thank God for Joe & the Juice at Stansted Airport. Their coffee might not be the best in the world but their spicy tuna melt on gluten-free flat bread is the breakfast of champions, setting me up for the super early morning flight to Pitti. I’ve arranged to meet up with the Sane Communications crew […]
