Florence

Florence is the capital of Tuscany, set in a valley on the Arno River in central Italy, surrounded by the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside. The city is known for its Renaissance heritage, historic centre, and compact walkable streets, which shape a property market ranging from apartments in period buildings to villas in the hillside neighbourhoods outside the centre. Buyers and renters are drawn to its cultural life, transport links within Italy, and the contrast between the dense historic core and quieter residential areas on the outskirts.
