Historic architecturally distinctive apartment nested in the district of “Oltrarno”, authentic place and beating heart of the real Florence. It is located on the first floor (approx 20 steps, no elevator) of a typical Florentine building. The apartment has a traditional Florentine style with terracotta floors, antique brick arches and exposed beams. The original furnishings give the apartment a touch of class. Just a stone's throw from Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens, near Piazza Santo Spirito and Ponte Vecchio, not far from Piazzale Michelangelo and the Duomo. Here you can immerse yourself in a magical atmosphere made of craft workshops, local activities, antique shops, historical markets, traditional restaurants and much more: the best way to truly discover the soul of the city, away from the tourist traps. Like Paris, even Florence has its “rive gauche”: it is called the Oltrarno, which literally means “on the other side of the Arno”. Tourists generally visit the central part of Florence corresponding to Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Repubblica and Piazza Duomo, with its outstanding Cathedral and Baptistery. Of course, all these pieces of art and history deserve an accurate visit, but to be original and discover something different go beyond the tourist trail! Cross the Ponte Vecchio and reach the south side of the river: there you will find plenty of bars, churches, museums, parks and workshops. In addition to its extraordinary historical treasures, the Oltrarno has another advantage: it stands apart from Florence's busy central and eastern (hidden). This means it is a calmer, more authentic and professional area, full of studios of artisans continuing centuries-old traditions, handcrafts and managing antiques stores, friendly bars and small, family-run restaurants.
