Rustic and charming, this apartment offers an authentic taste of Florence. It’s in Oltrano, a neighbourhood known for its artisan workshops and independent shops, just two minutes from the restaurants and bars of Piazza della Passera. A short walk across Ponte Vecchio takes you to the Uffizi Galleries and other Florentine hotspots. The apartment is on the fourth floor, so you’ll need to be able to manage the stairs to stay here. The climb is worth it for the views of the surrounding rooftops and towers, best admired with a glass of Chianti.
