Location & what to see

Fornace Suite is located in Via della Fornace, in the San Niccolò neighbourhood, situated at the foot of the hill leading to Piazzale Michelangelo. This area of Oltrarno retains a strong traditional identity, characterized by artisan workshops, historic alleys, and typical restaurants. In the immediate vicinity of the guest house are renowned dining spots, including the restaurant Gattabuia just 50 metres away and James Joyce 30 metres away.

The location makes it easy to walk to the city’s iconic attractions. Piazzale Michelangelo and the Rose Garden are about 450 metres away, offering a famous vantage point over the entire historic centre. Crossing the Arno River, you reach the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza della Signoria in 1.3 km, while Ponte Vecchio is 1.5 km away and Piazza del Duomo is 1.5 km away. Campo di Marte Station is 1.6 km away and Santa Maria Novella Station is 2.2 km away; Florence Peretola Airport is 7 km away.

The location is suitable for visits throughout the year. During the warmer seasons, it is pleasant to stroll along the banks of the Arno or explore the botanical collections of the Rose Garden, while in the autumn and winter months, proximity to museum hubs such as Casa Buonarroti, 850 metres away, and the Bargello National Museum, 1.2 km away, allows guests to plan art itineraries away from the main tourist flows.
