Turan

Property Description

The Oltrarno is Florence's rive gauche, and even though this quarter lies beyond the Arno river and contains part of the city's historical center, compared to the other side, it is calmer and certainly more authentic. Named 'Florence's best kept secret' by the Wall Street Journal, Oltrarno, is where you can find the real soul of the city, the one made day by day by its inhabitants: open street markets selling zero-km products (food sold within very few kilometers from where it has been harvested), locals at work, artisan shops, and a plethora of the city's best restaurants serving farm-to-table food. In this vivid neighborhood, you can rent the picture-perfect Turan, a luxury apartment with an exceptional amenity: one of the most privileged and stunning views of Florence you can find!
