Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A short drive from Florence’s historic centre, this Tuscan apartment strikes a lovely balance between countryside calm and city sightseeing. You can spend your mornings exploring landmarks like the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria, before retreating to the rolling hills for an afternoon by the shared pool. Inside, it feels homely with traditional Tuscan style – including a cosy living room and kitchen. We think it’s especially well-suited to families with younger ones – there’s plenty of outdoor space to let off steam, plus a play area and football pitch on the wider estate.

About Arcetri
Arcetri is a quiet area that sits behind the riverside neighbourhoods of Santo Spirito and San Niccolò. Much less dense than the areas directly next to the river, it's a different feel to, but still not far from, the historical centre.
