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.
2 BEDROOMS/ 2 BATHROOMS
King bedroom with adjacent private marble bathroom with large shower

The original architectural details of the house such as the blond-wood parquet floors and the classy coffered ceilings are combined with the beautiful wall boiserie/shelving unit, crisp white curtains and white twin sofas to ensure that the space is elegant and yet practical and functional. The small-sized fully equipped pristine kitchen boasts a gorgeous marble countertop and backsplash along with all the necessary high-end appliances for preparing even the most impressive of meals. A laundry room with washer and dryer completes the floor.
