About Oltrarno – Santo Spirito

Across the Arno, the Oltrarno is where Florence feels most itself: leather workshops and gilders' studios, the buzzing Piazza Santo Spirito, and Brunelleschi's serene basilica. The Pitti Palace, Boboli and Bardini gardens anchor the cultural offer while keeping the tourist intensity below the Duomo's. San Frediano in particular has become a coveted address, once named one of the world's coolest neighbourhoods, drawing creative residents and international buyers who want atmosphere over spectacle. It is arguably the most desirable place to actually live in central Florence.
