Ideally located in the quaint residential neighbourhood of Oltrarno, just a short and idyllic stroll away from the Boboli Gardens, this garden apartment provides a welcoming retreat for those who want to be close to the heart of the city, while enjoying the peace and quiet of a suburban spot. Lovers of characterful homes will be impressed by the country cottage interiors, recently renovated to give all the Tuscan charm that will make your stay that extra bit splendid. We especially love the private garden, enclosed by ancient stone walls that make it feel secluded and special.

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