This was nowhere near a run of the mill location. It felt more like living history and was the immersion into the area I know we would never have found anywhere else. The lower mark for checking in was mainly the challenges of cell service, but we made it. We've been gushing about the experience and how it added to our overall stay since our return.
Probably the best accommodation I have ever stayed in. Actually on the Ponte Vecchio, the beautiful property is atmosperic and superbly decorated to match the age of the building. I wish I could live there forever
Very interesting decor! We enjoyed being right in the middle of town where we could walk to all the attractions and being on the Gold bridge and river was outstanding.
I was concerned that being on the Ponte Vecchio would be loud but it was amazingly quite. Place was clean and everything you needed was there. An amazing experience.
We loved this place overall. Beautifully decorated, quirky in a good way, felt right at home. Fantastic location.

Rustic but lovely stay.
This is a very old apartment on the non tourist side of the Ponte Vecchio, so we were not expecting 5 star hotel accommodations and for the most part loved our stay. The location was fantastic and the bed was comfortable. However, we only received 2 towels (for 2 people) for a week long stay and there were no toiletries available. We had to run out to buy toilet paper, soap and shampoo. The apartment was clean but needs a really good deep clean, there was a lot of dust on all the decor and fans. We were also eaten alive by mosquitoes, which I won’t hold against the hosts, but I recommend that you bring bug spray and after bite if you choose to stay here!
This property is in the center of everything. Literally on the Ponte Vecchio and just steps from the Pitti Palace and Ufizzi Gallery. We enjoyed the apartment. It is unique and charming in an old fashioned way.
The apartment, its view, and its location are even better than described. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a place with a fantastic view of the river and the north side of it right in the center of Florence.
The location in the Ponte Vecchio bridge near is the best location for touring the town. Interesting architecture and antiques inside.
Only issue is amenities - not much in the kitchen - tiny mocha pot - no glasses - no real plates- no soap in bathroom. Hot water was an issue on arrival but was resolved by host quickly.

It's Italy
Terrific location. The bedroom is not airconditioned. The living room has a floor unit that cools a little bit.
The shower/tub is small and dangerous. Nothing to hang onto and have to bend over and step down into tub/shower. Needs a seat and handrail. Wonderful place, bathing arrangements easy to fix, have to be fixed. Very misleading to say it's air conditioned. Really enjoyed! Honest description would have been helpful
All I can say is staying here is as surreal as it gets. We were literally in the Ponte Vecchio bridge. What a treat to be able to stay in such a historical location.
If you have the chance to stay here, take it. You're close to everything and the energy is fantastic. Enjoy!
Can’t beat the location, did not find to be too loud after dark and everything worked as it should in the apartment. Clean but not glamorous. Communication with he host was great and any questions were quickly responded to.
This was one of the most unique and pleasant stays I’ve experienced on any trip. The room was right on the Ponte Vecchio. The bedroom window overlooking the bridge itself and the living room French doors overlooking the Arno. The view was beautiful and unique. If you ever watched the movie A Room With a View, you are right there. The building is centuries old and because of that very well insulated and interesting with arched ceilings and interesting architecture. Because of the building’s age there a few minor idiosyncrasies in the modernization of the room, but these added to its character and charm. All in all we absolutely loved our stay here. The location and atmosphere were amazing!
Most Historically Authentic (but more convenient) Place I've ever Stayed
Every time we walked through the exterior door and up the concrete steps we were delighted. We pondered what the space may have been used for centuries before. The location was excellent and we laughed more than one night as we heard newly arriving visitors to the city arguing about directions on the bridge. The view across the river is magical and was the source of additional musings of the "secret passage," The Vasari Corridor that runs above the bridge. We felt completely immersed in history with our 16th century hair because of the bathroom water pressure, LOL. We would absolutely stay here again!
Thank you for sharing your space with us Stefania.

Location is fabulous and view from living room is lovely. There is no a/c in the bedroom but if you open the windows it’s really loud plus the mosquitos were awful. Bought 2 cans of bug spray and still got bites all over. Would like property more in winter.
The apartment was as described and a great value. It is right on the heart of probably the busiest intersection in the city, make sure you are OK with the traffic and noise. Otherwise the view and ease of getting around is awesome. Very accommodating meeting us late at night as our flight was delayed. A+++
This location was amazing. Out one window is the Ponte Vecchio River and out the other is right on the bridge (bring earplugs). That aspect is a dream! The communication was great. The host responded quickly.
The decor was eclectic and quirky and certainly matched the age of the location. So cute. I wish there was some attention to detail with the inside. Stained rugs, peeling wallpaper. We had to buy toilet paper, there were no garbage bags and no written instructions about wifi, garbage, burners/gas.

Needs some TLC
My mother once told me that if you have nothing good to say then don’t say anything at all.
What could be more amazing than staying ON the Ponte Vecchio! This spacious apartment is special. As others have said, this is a old and quirky property, but it wears those traits well. Note that the kitchen is quite small (so small that the refrigerator is tucked away in another room), but there is a nice, large dining table looking right out to the Arno. The bed is extremely comfortable. The apartment's decor charming and adds to the romance. Contact with the host was pleasant and efficient. If you are looking for an ultra-clean, sleek modern stay, this is not the place for you. But, if you are looking for a unique, memorable stay, don't hesitate to book. We loved our time there.
