Toscanelli Residenza d’Epoca

Toscanelli Residenza d’Epoca is located at Piazza dei Pitti 17, in the Florentine district of San Frediano, in the area known as Oltrarno. Situated on the left bank of the Arno River, this neighborhood preserves a lively atmosphere tied to artisan workshops, art galleries, and historic spots. Staying directly opposite the majestic facade of Palazzo Pitti places guests within walking distance of one of the city’s most important museum complexes, home to the Palatine Gallery and the Royal Apartments.

The location allows visitors to explore the entire historic center on foot with short walking times. Crossing the Ponte Vecchio, located approximately 300 metres from the property, you can reach the Uffizi Gallery (450 metres) and Piazza della Signoria (600 metres) in less than five minutes. The Boboli Gardens are just 400 metres away, providing a historic green space adjacent to the square. For those arriving by train, Santa Maria Novella Railway Station is 1.1 kilometres away, while Florence Peretola Airport is approximately 5.6 kilometres distance.

Throughout the year, the Oltrarno serves as an ideal base for discovering Florence from various perspectives. During spring and summer, it is pleasant to stroll along the pathways of the Boboli Gardens or walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo, located about 1.2 kilometres away, to admire the city panorama at sunset. In autumn and winter, itineraries tend to focus on surrounding museums, such as Palazzo Strozzi at 550 metres or the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum at 400 metres, as well as the historic wine bars and traditional trattorias lining the streets adjacent to the square.
