Toscana - Tuscany

Tuscany is the place we all dream of….The place we want to retire to, and it is that place that will echo in your heart for a life time once you have stayed there and felt the essence of the organic life that passes by there each day.

With fields of sunflowers as far as they eye can see, olive groves and vineyards lining every street corner make Tuscany’s country side a picture worth painting. With its abundance of  tiny medieval towns scattered around the hills, open air markets where locals gather each Saturday morning to offer their produce such as Truffle oil, olives, chianti wine, cured meats etc makes Tuscany the perfect place to visit for those that love food, wine and history.

            [post_content] => The north bank of the Arno offers a more open and residential setting compared to the denser medieval areas deeper within Florence’s historic center. While still central, it has a more balanced atmosphere, with wider streets, riverfront views, and a lower concentration of foot traffic.
The area is defined by a mix of elegant historic buildings and everyday residential life. Along the river, the Lungarni (the streets that run along both sides of the Arno River) are lined with well-maintained palazzi, while the surrounding streets include local cafés, small shops, and services that are part of the neighborhood rather than oriented solely toward tourism. This makes the area feel more practical and livable.
At the same time, it remains highly convenient. Florence’s main landmarks—including the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, and the Uffizi—are all within walking distance. The proximity to Santa Maria Novella station is also a key advantage, making travel in and out of the city straightforward.
Overall, this part of Florence combines a central location with a more manageable pace. It offers direct access to the city’s cultural sites while maintaining a setting that is less crowded and more residential in character, which many visitors find more comfortable for a stay. In this area, Alteria is the perfect place to spend your vacation in Florence in style, comfort, and the kind of effortless elegance that only a truly special address can offer.

The social heart of Alteria is a generous sequence of interconnected rooms running along the north-facing front of the apartment, all overlooking the Arno. A formal dining room seats a large party in style, flowing naturally into a spacious central living room – which opens onto a terrace with uninterrupted views over the Arno and the Florentine skyline beyond — the principal gathering space, with direct river views — and further into a more relaxed studio living area, ideal as a second sitting room or quiet reading room. The kitchen is well-equipped and positioned to serve the dining room efficiently yet tucked discreetly away from the main reception rooms. A laundry room sits nearby, keeping all service functions neatly separated from the living areas.
