Althea is situated in a very characteristic district of the historical centre of Florence, the Oltrarno, close to piazza Santo Spirito, one of the most beautiful and lively squares in Florence.
It's just a few minutes walk from the Pitti Palace, the Old Bridge and the Boboli Gardens.
Here you can see scenes typical of a small town: artisans working in their studio open to onlookers, a square with a small fruit and vegetables market or with children playing, an old iron gate of a renaissance palace with a secluded garden, a quaint tranquil street with an open door cafe ... and many other things make you wonder if you are really in a modern city surrounded by traffic and noise.
