The Polimoda Gold Summer Course will offer a selected number of participants a full immersion in the world of Luxury, through an educational approach that combines elements of marketing with the blend of emotions and sensations that only a direct experience of Made in Italy luxury can give.
Twenty-five years' experience, close links with the leading companies and international students: these are the plus features that have made the Polimoda brand unique and famous all over the world.
For you we have selected the elegant Hotel Home in the centre of Florence, characterised by a design at once minimalist and luxurious, where the furnishings and decor of the thirty-nine rooms showcase the purity of white interrupted only by precious inserts and gold-coloured finishes.

We shall round off your Florence experience with shopping excursions in the top Italian boutiques and visits to exclusive venues, including happy hour at the Palazzo Tornabuoni Hotel, brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel and special treatments in the most elegant Spas.
And more, for you and you only, guided tours of the most interesting museums and exhibitions, invitations to the most exclusive parties of the Florentine summer season and out-of-town excursions to the most glamorous resorts on the Tyrrhenian coast.
