Dimora Pieri is an invitation to discouver Florece, a stunning city where you will lose yourself in the art, history, fashion and traditions of Tuscany.
The city of the lily is a treasure trove of artistic treasures and the centre of a fervent vitality.

Aside from its exceptional heritage of art, Florence can be enjoyed in so many ways: promenading along the enchanting riverbanks at sunset, entering the bohemian alleys of the Oltrarno, or getting lost in the narrow streets of San Niccolò, where walking by the old city walls will leave you feeling as though you have been magically transported into another era.

The Oltrarno area of Florence is the city of the people and ancient crafts, the popular one, of tradition, of the dust that rests lightly in the artisans' workshops, the one that releases creativity and colour, quality and uniqueness.
And it is also one of the most evocative, passionate and multifaceted corners of the Tuscan capital. Don't miss that corner beyond the silver river, once considered "the poor neighborhood" of the glorious ‘’Signoria’’, today it is one of the places that exude history more than any other and that tell of the genius of the past, to be found again today, at your fingertips.
Florence is still there to be discovered in the maze of streets where every morning the artisans pull up the shutters and get to work.

Discovering Florence means following in the footsteps of Dante Alighieri and ending up in front of his house. But in this city, in the space of only a few centuries, there also lived Cimabue and Giotto, fathers of Italian painting; Arnolfo and Andrea Pisano, who rewrote the rules of architecture and sculpture; and Brunelleschi, Donatello and Masaccio, who really kicked off the Renaissance. That's before we mention Ghiberti and the Della Robbia family, Filippo Lippi and Beato Angelico, Botticelli and Paolo Uccello, and universally renowned geniuses like Leonardo and Michelangelo.

When you are eventually tire of the bustling alleyways, leave the centre behind you and, after an invigorating ascent to either Piazzale Michelangelo or San Miniato al Monte, let your eyes feast upon one of the most evocative views in Italy.

Don’t underestimate the walk (comfortable shoes) along the Costa San Georgio street ( the great scientist Galileo Galilei lived at number 19) that brings you to Forte Belvedere, a great spot to appreciate Florence from above (usually open from May to the beginning of October). While hiking up Costa San Giorgio, you'll also come across the beautiful Villa Bardini, home to both temporary and permanent art exhibitions and a beautiful garden with postcard views of Florence.
