Luxury apartments for sale in Tuscany

Tuscany's apartment market is one of the most layered in Europe. With 952 apartments for sale across the region, buyers face a choice that goes well beyond square footage and room count. A top-floor apartment inside a medieval tower in San Gimignano is a completely different product from a piano nobile unit overlooking the Arno in Florence, and both are different again from a converted monastery cell in the hills above Cortona. That variety is exactly what draws international buyers. Alongside Florence, the markets of Siena, Lucca, Pienza and Montepulciano are drawing growing interest from American, British and Northern European buyers who know the region well.

How much does an apartment cost in Tuscany

Prices for Tuscan apartments start at TRY 1,159,879 for smaller units in secondary historic centres or properties needing full renovation, and reach TRY 6,864,590 for piano nobile apartments in Florence with original frescoes, private courtyards and unobstructed river views. The average price stands at TRY 2,248,745. Floor area ranges from 35 to 240018 sqm, with an average of 459 sqm and between 1 and 25 bedrooms. The floor matters enormously here. Piano nobile apartments, typically the second floor of a historic palazzo, command a premium because ceiling heights are greater, architectural details are richer and natural light is better. A private courtyard or a loggia adds value that no comparable modern feature can replicate.

Where to buy an apartment in Tuscany

Florence remains the benchmark. The Oltrarno neighbourhood, south of the river, concentrates the most sought-after apartments for buyers who want authentic Florentine character without the density of the tourist centre. The streets around Piazza Santo Spirito and Borgo San Frediano offer grand historic palazzi with apartments that rarely come to market. In Siena, the historic centre inside the medieval walls has a small but resilient apartment market, with stone vaulting and terracotta floors standard rather than exceptional. Cortona draws buyers looking for scale at a lower price point, with exposed timber ceilings and original stonework common across the stock. And Lucca deserves specific attention: its intact Renaissance walls create a contained, highly desirable historic centre where good apartments sell quickly, because demand consistently outpaces what comes to market.
