Oltrarno

Located on the city's left bank, this neighborhood preserves the past.

Reviewed By Rowland45 - Iowa City, United States

Crossing the Ponte Vecchio is always a challenge so this year we decided to stay on the Oltrarno (other side of the Arno) for a change. We are very glad we did and have already lined up plans to return next year. The Pitti Palace is the most well known attraction in the area but there is a lot more things on the rise. Do not stop at the end of the bridge. You will be rewarded well for exploring the Oltrarno!

Medieval town with lots of restaurants. Favourite outing for Romans, It is in the south of Tuscany, very close to Lazio. A real gem.

Barberino Val d'Elsa

Reviewed By stevebE8795HZ

W spent two weeks in a B & B and chose Barberino Val d'Elsa as it is midway between Siena and Florence, as well as other towns in Tuscany. We had a lovely time, and found our favourite restaurant in the piazza in front of the church. While we were there a medieval festival was held with a re-enactment of the battle between Florence and Siena, performed by citizens of the Commune. A beautiful place and very relaxing indeed.

Monticchiello

Reviewed By exeman - Tiverton, United Kingdom

Montichiello is a little gem and has so much history for such a small hill town, However, the highlight are the views of the cypress lined curving road to Montepulciano. Also a must do is the strada panoramica to Pienza on a white road.
