Historical apartment in a XVI century building of the Oltrarno central district, between the Ponte Vecchio and the Palazzo Pitti, with luminous balcony.
Located in the middle of Costa S. Giorgio, hilly road that leads to the landscapes of Giardino Bardini, Forte Belvedere, Giardino di Boboli, San Miniato and Piazzale Michelangelo. There is a 3 minutes ascent to reach the house, but you will be rewarded by the tranquillity of the place.
The street has been the daily path of notable residents like Dupré, Galilei, Rosai, Pratesi and Tchaikovsky. The apartment is furnished with natural architecture and - thanks to the thick ancient walls of the building, and to the use of our traditional "persiane" - it is comfortable in summer with no need of artificial air conditioning.

The apartment is also a good base to visit many other beautiful attractions of Tuscany: all the trains start from Firenze S.M.N. railway station (20 minutes walk from here) and offer you morning-to-evening visits to art and gastronomic towns like Pisa, Siena, Lucca, Pistoia; the hidden gems of Castelfiorentino, Certaldo; the sea beaches of Viareggio, Bibbona, San Vincenzo; the rocky seaside of Castiglioncello; the fresh mountain paths in the forests of Pracchia, San Mommè and Castagno. If you like, I can tell you how to buy a special ticket for unlimited trips within 3 or 5 days.
