Work With Florence Life
Updated: Oct 26
Updated October 2026
I'm Jason GaNung, and I write every word on Florence Life. I have spent extensive time in Florence over many trips, and this site is where I share the hotels, restaurants and corners of the city I would send my own friends to.
I work with a small number of hotels, restaurants and experiences in Florence and the surrounding hills. This page explains what a partnership with me looks like, and what it does not.
What I offer partners
An editorial feature
A dedicated, in-depth feature on Florence Life, written by me in my own voice, and linked from the relevant guides, such as my Where to Stay in Florence guide and the Hotels page. Each feature includes a practical section on who the property suits, how to get there and what to book.
My own photography
I photograph every feature myself. You see the property the way a guest sees it: the room, the view, the breakfast, the street outside. Partners can ask about using my photos for their own channels, by written agreement.
Honest, first-person reviews
I only write about what I have experienced or can verify. When I have stayed, I say so. When I have not, I write what to expect and say that clearly. Partners do not approve or edit my opinions before they go live, though I am always happy to correct a fact. You can read my full policy on How I Review Hotels.
Social media
I share features across my social channels with my own photos and video, so the story reaches people while they are planning, not only when they search.
Personal help for guests
Readers write to me for advice on where to stay and eat. When a property is right for them, I can point them its way and help with their questions, so they arrive knowing what to expect.
What I will not do
I will not publish a review I have not earned, or invent quotes or ratings.
I will not use press photos in place of my own.
I will not hide a partnership. If a feature is a partnership, readers will know.
I will not recommend a place I would not send a friend to.
That honesty is the whole point. It is why readers trust the site, and it is what makes a feature worth having.
Who I work with
Luxury and boutique hotels in Florence and the hills, hotel restaurants and bars, and experiences that fit a thoughtful traveler: food, wine, art and craft. New openings are especially welcome. I track them in my hotel openings guide.
You can get a feel for my coverage in Florence's Best Hotel Restaurants and Bars and Best 5-Star Hotels in Florence.
How it works
Get in touch with a short note about your property and what you have in mind.
We agree the scope: a stay or visit, the feature, photography and social.
I visit, photograph and write. You see the facts before publishing so nothing is wrong.
The feature goes live and is linked from the relevant guides on the site.
Get in touch
