Apartments Florence Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens
For those seeking an accommodation in Florence, the area towards the Palazzo Pitti and the Giardino di Boboli is ideal for businessmen or tourists wishing to stay in their own apartment in one of the most beautiful areas of the city.
The Pitti Palace is found in Piazza Pitti, in the splendid Oltrarno area in Florence, on the slopes of the hills where one finds the Giardino di Boboli (Boboli gardens). Inside, one can find museums of all sorts: the main art gallery, in which are kept about 500 paintings, is the Galleria Palatina, in which one can find important canvasses, such as the works of Raffaello Sanzio, Pieter Paul Rubens and Andrea del Sarto, Agnolo Bronzino, Caravaggio, Artemisia Gentileschi, Tintoretto and Tiziano. The Galleria d'Arte Moderna hosts Italian paintings, from the eighteenth to the twentieth century (most from Toscane), while the Museo degli Argenti has a wonderful collection of precious objects and artifacts made or bought by the Medici family throughout the centuries. In the Palace is found the largest Italian museum dedicated to fashion, the Galleria del Costume, as well as the Appartamenti Monumentali, from both baroque and rococo periods. The Boboli gardens attached to the Palazzo Pitti and the Forte di Belvedere is one of the most important examples of Italian gardens in the world and is a true open-air museum, with its imposing architecture, landscape and sculptures that date back from Roman antiquity to the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. At first home to the Medici family, then to the Lorena and the Savoia, they were built in the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries and occupied an area of roughly 45 000 square meters. To the first renaissance style settings, visible closer to the Palace, new and different things were added each year: along the axis parallel to the Palace, new alleys covered in gravel, new ponds with fountains, nymphaea, small temples and caves. Remarkable is the importance placed on the sculptures and created parts, such as the eighteenth century Kaffeehaus (rare example of Rococo style) that allows one to enjoy the view of the city the garden has to offer. Well served by numerous means of public transport, one can find a number of bus stops in this area that enable easy access to most areas of the city.
