Location
The apartment is located in the historic Oltrarno district. "Oltrarno" means "beyond the Arno" and this area stretches along the south bank of the river. Oltrarno represents the true essence of Florence: an area that's quiet, green and therefore more relaxing than the others. That's why more and more tourists are coming to enjoy it. This area is also known as the crafts district, famous for its delightful boutiques, small shops and craftsmen's laboratories (especially antique and leather goods dealers): Via Maggio represents the Florentine center for antiques. In past centuries, Oltrarno was a chic district where many aristocrats built their own palaces and villas. One of the greatest is undoubtedly Palazzo Pitti, once home to the Grand Dukes of Tuscany. Today, Palazzo Pitti hosts many of the city's most important exhibitions and museums. Other major attractions on the Oltrarno include the Brancacci Chapel with its magnificent frescoes by Masaccio, Masolino and Filippino Lippi, the Michelangelo Belvedere with its breathtaking panorama of Florence, the magnificent church of San Miniato (one of the highest points in the city and the best example of Romanesque art in Tuscany) and the Ponte Vecchio, home to numerous jewellers and goldsmiths. Inside Palazzo Pitti is the wonderful Boboli Garden, an open-air museum of sculptures, some dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.
