A boutique B&B in Florence, Oltrarno Splendid offers a side to the city away from the tourists. This 18th-century palazzo is in right by the River Arno, in the artisan-favoured, artistic namesake neighbourhood. The dream design team – who also brought you AdAstra and SoprArno – added the fruits of their frequent antique-market trawls to the faded wallpaper and existing frescoes, with bath tubs in some of the bedrooms. It’s a more local part of town, but the Ponte Vecchio and all of fabled Firenze’s Renaissance-era heros are mere moments away.
Oltrarno Splendid is on the southerly banks of the River Arno in everyone’s favourite Renaissance stronghold.
