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.

Panoramas at La Terrazza del Principe
This restaurant has good food and wine, but really, it's the eponymous terrace that draws the crowds, with views that stretch for miles.
Intrigue at Villa del Poggio Imperiale
The Medici family certainly knew a thing or two about grand villas and they don't come much more monumental than this neoclassical palace.
