The Classic is the hotel’s entry-level room, 15 to 17 m² depending on whether it comes with the king bed or the queen.

Bathrooms run floor-to-ceiling black and white stripes against a navy vanity and a backlit mirror. Every room has a 55-inch HDTV, minibar, safe, steamer, coffee and tea facilities, air conditioning and free WiFi, plus a desk to work at. Sleeps two.
Gates open between six and half past, and the music starts at half past eight. Your seat is reserved and issued in a minimum of pairs. The theatre is open air, seats around 10,000, and sits on a hillside 83 km south west of Florence.

Our best tips
Florence and the Lajatico hills sit around 32°C in the afternoon in July and drop to the high teens overnight. The concert is outdoors and starts at half past eight, so the worst of the heat has gone by then. Take a jacket for the coach back.
The theatre publishes no dress code and most people land near smart casual. Footwear is the part that matters: it is a hillside, the ground is uneven, and you cross it after dark on the way out.
Lajatico is 83 km south west of Florence, about an hour and a quarter each way. The coach leaves the hotel in the afternoon for the winery and does not get back until late, so plan the next morning accordingly.

What our guests say
Andrea Bocelli Experience
Attended Andrea Bocelli Anglo American Hotel - 3 Night Travel Experience - Master Suite & Gold Ticket. Very pleased with the choice of provider Imperial Events the event was outstanding, hotel, company, hospitality and Florence exceeded expectations. Strongly recommended would do it again
Super evening Andrea Bocelli
Had such a wonderful evening and all thanks to Paddi what a great girl she sounds on the phone
Fantastic evening seeing Andrea Bocelli…
Fantastic evening seeing Andrea Bocelli at the 02 with a meal before. Booked with ease and confidence thanks to Paddi taking care of all our needs. Will definitely be booking another experience soon!
Andrea Bocelli - a wonderful experience!
From booking experience with Marcus to the event itself was great. Marcus was on the end of the phone to resolve any problems or queries I had - in fact every person I spoke to on the phones during the several months from booking to going to the O2 to see Andrea Bocelli were friendly, knowledgable and so easy to deal with. Meal prior to the concert was excellent and the concert itself was amazing with hospitality throughout! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole occasion and looking forward to our next Imperial Corporate Event!
More to explore
Andrea Bocelli grew up on a farm in the Tuscan hills, lost his sight at twelve, and spent years singing in piano bars before a demo tape reached Luciano Pavarotti. He has since sold more than 75 million records, the most of any classical solo artist in history. Along the way he has recorded the best-selling Italian album of all time, taken a Guinness listing on the American classical chart, and sung the most-watched classical live stream YouTube has carried.
There is no one finer.
If people judged that something was beyond my capacities, I felt obliged to prove them wrong.
Piano lessons at six, blind at twelve after a football accident, and a law degree paid for by singing in piano bars.
Andrea Bocelli was born on 22 September 1958 in Lajatico, a village in the Tuscan hills, and grew up on the family farm. Born with congenital glaucoma, he had limited sight from the start. He began piano lessons at six, later adding flute and saxophone. At twelve, an accident during a football match brought on a brain haemorrhage, and he lost his sight completely. He carried on with his studies and took a law degree at the University of Pisa, singing in piano bars at night to pay his way.
Zucchero wrote 'Miserere' for Pavarotti. Pavarotti heard the demo and said the unknown should sing it.
After years of vocal study under Franco Corelli, Bocelli recorded a demo tape that reached the Italian rock star Zucchero Fornaciari, who had written a duet called "Miserere" with Luciano Pavarotti in mind. Pavarotti listened to the demo and reportedly told Zucchero to record it with Bocelli instead, because there was no one finer. Bocelli sang the track with Zucchero, and it became a hit across Europe.
He won the newcomers' section with 'Il mare calmo della sera'. The debut album of the same name went platinum in Italy.
Bocelli won the newcomers' section of the 1994 Sanremo Music Festival with "Il mare calmo della sera", and the debut album that carried its name went platinum in Italy. His second album, "Bocelli", followed a year later. Italy had found a tenor equally at home in the opera house and the pop charts.
More than 20 million copies sold, with 'Time to Say Goodbye' at number one across Europe.
Released in 1996, "Romanza" topped charts across Europe and went on to sell more than 20 million copies, which still makes it the best-selling album by an Italian artist. Its lead single, "Time to Say Goodbye" ("Con te partirò"), recorded with the soprano Sarah Brightman, reached number one in several countries and became one of the best-selling singles ever released.
More than five million copies, and a Guinness listing for holding the top three places on the American classical chart at once.
Recorded with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, "Sacred Arias" sold more than five million copies, the most of any classical album by a solo artist. At one point Bocelli held the top three positions on the American classical chart at the same time, which earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records. The same year, "Sogno" entered the Billboard 200 at number four, his highest placing yet on the American pop chart.
An open-air amphitheatre in the hills above Lajatico, in use one weekend each July, with Bocelli as the headliner.
In 2006 Bocelli inaugurated the Teatro del Silenzio, an open-air amphitheatre built into the hillside above Lajatico. It hosts a short run of concerts each July, with Bocelli as the headliner, and for the rest of the year the stage area returns to a lake with a sculpture at its centre. The name means "theatre of silence", and for most of the year that is what it is.
The 2,402nd star on the Walk of Fame, and the World Cup's closing concert in Johannesburg the same summer.
On 2 March 2010 Bocelli received the 2,402nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That July he headlined "Celebrate Africa, The Grand Finale", the closing concert of the South Africa World Cup, in Johannesburg alongside Bryan Adams and the soprano Pretty Yende.
'Music for Hope' drew 2.8 million simultaneous viewers, the largest audience a classical live stream has had on YouTube.
On Easter Sunday 2020, with Italy locked down, Bocelli sang inside Milan's cathedral, the Duomo, with only the cathedral organist for company. The performance, titled "Music for Hope", streamed live on YouTube and drew 2.8 million simultaneous viewers, the largest audience for a classical live stream in the platform's history, with 28 million views inside its first day. He finished with "Amazing Grace", sung to an empty square from the cathedral steps.
Three decades after Sanremo, with more than 75 million records sold, the most of any classical solo artist.
Thirty years after the Sanremo win, Bocelli marked the anniversary with concerts across Europe and North America and a three-night run at the Teatro del Silenzio. The catalogue behind him stretches from complete operas to duets with Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa, and his records have sold more than 75 million copies, the most of any classical solo artist in history.
