This is a brilliant place to stay if you are visiting Florence. The Oltrarno is the name for the district on the other side of the river from the main tourist sites but it’s the perfect place to be a bit away from the tourist crowds while still only a five minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio bridge and only 10 mins walk from the Duomo.
This flat is right next to Piazza Santa Spirito and the church of the same name. The piazza has a friendly chilled buzz about it with restaurants and bars and a street market several days each week.
The apartment is wonderful and the welcome we received was second to none.
Don’t even think about staying anywhere else if you’re visiting Florence ... although I write that with a little hesitation because I’ll certainly want to come back too 😄
