TUSCANY
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.

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.
