Apartment Toscanella
Tucked away in Florence’s characterful Oltrarno district, Apartment Toscanella is a refined three-bedroom retreat within a 15th-century palazzo once home to Paolo Toscanelli, whose maps guided Columbus. Thoughtfully restored, it blends historic charm with modern ease, think original beams, high ceilings, and handcrafted furnishings. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, with the master suite opening onto a peaceful private terrace in the internal courtyard. The home’s inviting split-level layout includes a sunlit lounge, elegant dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen perfect for preparing Tuscan fare. Step outside, and you’re moments from the artisan heart of the city, just steps from Palazzo Pitti, the Boboli Gardens, and Ponte Vecchio, yet quietly tucked into a hidden corner that offers a rare sense of calm.

Location:
Tucked into the heart of Florence’s enchanting Oltrarno district, Apartment Toscanella sits in one of the city’s most authentic and characterful quarters. This side of the Arno is known for its bohemian spirit and artisanal heritage, think cobbled streets lined with woodworkers, silversmiths, and tiny galleries where tradition lives on. Just steps from the apartment, you’ll find the grand Palazzo Pitti and the lush Boboli Gardens, while the iconic Ponte Vecchio is a mere two-minute stroll away.
Daily essentials are easily covered with local grocers, cafés and bakeries dotted along Via Toscanella and the nearby Via Maggio. For culture and cuisine, you’re spoilt for choice, intimate wine bars, family-run trattorias and independent boutiques abound, many tucked into Renaissance-era buildings brimming with stories. This part of Florence offers a rare sense of lived-in history; once the city’s noble district, it now blends past and present in the most inviting way.
