San Frediano is a small neighbourhood within the larger Oltrarno area. It has river frontage and enjoys a reputation as a destination for serious foodies — this is where you can not only try lampredotto (Florence's famous tripe sandwiches), but also discover loads of traditional osterias alongside more up-and-coming eateries. Plus it's just a short stroll across the river to the bustling city centre. Our accommodation picks here range from elegant boutique hideaways to a magnificent restored palazzo that is fit for royalty! For a wider selection, check out all our Florence recommendations.
