Overlooking the Torrigiani Garden, we love the views of its Baccani Tower from this apartment. With its blend of modern and traditional furnishings, the large living area is a great place to relax after a busy day in the city. Another highlight is the private terrace – the perfect spot for breakfast before heading out to explore. You’ll find an array of landmarks and attractions a short stroll from your door. These include not only the Torrigiani Garden, of course, but also the Boboli Gardens and Palazzo Pitti.

About Pitti
Unsurprisingly, Pitti stretches from the Palazzo Pitti – a Renaissance palace housing a vast European art collection – up to the river.
