Set in the heart of the Oltrarno neighbourhood, famous for its traditional artisan workshops, and literally steps from Porta San Frediano, this apartment is surrounded by shops, cafes and traditional restaurants. Palazzo Pitti, the Boboli Gardens, and the Basilica of Santo Spirito are easily reached on foot – in fact, most of Florence’s landmarks are in walking distance. Back at this home, there’s a large living space with a comfy sofa bed, and the apartment features plenty of character with brick and stone walls, wood panelling and high ceilings. One of the bedrooms has a small balcony too, complete with terracotta roof vistas. This place is an ideal base for your Tuscan stay.
