Behind the grand stone walls of a 15th-century palace, this renaissance-painted apartment offers a beautiful base for discovering Florence. Found in the heart of the Oltrarno district – known for its local artisans and slower pace – it’s a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the city. The interiors pair antique furniture with elegant fabrics and artworks, giving the space a sense of quiet grandeur. Enjoy a coffee on the small balcony or take in the serenity of the building’s impressive courtyard. While the kitchenette is best for light bites, the surrounding streets are filled with authentic trattorias.

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