River Flows in You

River Flows in You: Tuscany

Situated within a typically Florentine building overlooking the Arno River and just a stone's throw from the historic centre of the city, this stunning studio apartment blends old-world charm with new school aesthetics to create an irresistible offering, and a perfect base to explore the Cradle of the Renaissance.

Step outside and you're within easy walking distance of the city's many breathtaking attractions, the Renaissance art collections of the Palazzo Strozzi just 400m away, while the city's emblematic red-domed cathedral and the cafe-lined Piazza della Republica are no more than ten minutes' walk away.

Head in the opposite direction, however, and the five-arched Ponte alla Carraia spans the river, offering easy access to the impressive Palazzo Pitti, which is just under a kilometre away. Originally built as a private residence by the Pitti family, today, this 15th-century monument houses an awe-inspiring collection of art by some of the greats.
