About this property

Great bright apartment in Florence, perfect for a family or a group!

This large bright apartment is on the 3rd floor of an old building, but fortunately there is an elevator! The apartment has been recently renovated, added new furniture and furnishings. There are big windows overlooking Florence's roofs, so there is a lot of natural light.

My mother is a great interior designer, I know everything That was done here Has Been designed by her. We did not change much of the structure of the house. We only divided the space inside in order to make the rooms comfortable blackberries.
She DECIDED to use a lot of vintage furniture. So we went all over Italy looking for armchairs, tables, lamps, bedside lamps, wardrobes etc. Then there are armchairs, sofas, cupboards and tables from the 50's and the 60's that we bought and restored.
I think her majors ability was keeping a really good balance between the look of the contemporary architecture and furniture, the antiques and the refined touch of the warm and historic building.

Ceilings are high and there are wooden floors Throughout the house. The kitchen is a dishwasher and a large fridge.
One of the three bedrooms has an attached private bathroom and a large double bed. This is the quietest room in the house Because there are no roads under its double-glazed windows. During the night Seems to be away from the city!
The other two bedrooms are spacious and have high ceilings Also too. One of this has a loft made During the last renovation in order to take full advantage of the large space. In this bedroom there is a double bed, and the sofa bed can be opened if the guests are blackberries than six.
Obviously We provide clean sheets and towels for all the guests. I collect them every week in a laundry room. Hygiene is our first mission!

Unfortunately, I have to use a sentence Which is really overused by all the hoteliers but ... all of my guests, When They sign our guest book write That it is really like being home away from home.
The place is very elegant and beautiful, but very welcoming and homey at the same time.
I know that's the essence; it's very elegant but very informal. Everybody feels like at home, so they can pretend it's their house, going to the living room, preparing coffee, watching TV.

The house is located in a strategic position in the heart of Florence, few steps far from Piazza Santo Spirito, Pitti Palace, Ponte Vecchio and the Boboli Garden, in a limited traffic area and the Generally sheltered from the noise of the city.

Wonderful home filled with character in the best part of Florence
Bernado's large, comfortable apartment was home to our family for 10 weeks - it was the perfect base! The apartment is huge by Florence standards, with high ceilings and a logical layout, lots of sunshine, light and air. Piazza Santo Spirito, full of good bars and restaurants, is right next door and although a little touristy, still retains a 'local' feel with markets nearly every day. Nearby also is Gusta Pizza - is this the best pizza in Florence? Also within 100 metres is the local bulk wine store or 'sfusa', excellent Chianti wines at bargain prices. Bernado our host, was always ready to help and is a real gentleman, prompt, courteous and always smiling. So 10/10 from our family for this wonderful apartment in Florence!

Spacious Apartment, Perfect Location!
This apartment is perfect for 6 or 7 people in Florence! The host is lovely and accommodating. The location could not be better!! Restaurants, coffee, gelato, a grocery store, ATMs- everything within a block or two. The food tour we signed up for, actually took us all around our own neighborhood! That's how great it is!

Great apartment in a great location
The apartment was comfortable and bright. The beds and bathrooms are particularly nice. Bernardo, the landlord, is super friendly and responsive. The location cannot be beaten. Just off one of our favorite piazzas, a few minutes walk from the major tourist sites, but in the other edge of the tourist area, so real shops like hardware stores, bakeries and grocery stores are all close by.

Nice Apartment near Everythins
My family enjoyed our stay. Very nice apartment near all attractions. You would not want to use a car in Florence. Most everything that we wanted to see in Florence was less than 1/2 hour walk. Apartment was clean. Nice everything, bedrooms, living room, dinning room and bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay.

Great house in a great location
The owner greeted us when we arrived to show us everything around the house. The house was clean and spacious. The house is about a 10-15 minute walk to the Duomo/town center. The neighborhood is lovely with everything you need right outside the door. We loved our stay in Florence!

Terrific apartment and host
Beautiful layout and wonderful breeze, very comfortable space for two parents and five kids. Host was extremely helpful with all of the logistics, including helping me identify a nearby garage and working through the matter of the ZTL. Oltrarno is iso much more lively at night than the last time I was there (many years ago). We had plenty of choices for dining, drinks, and gelato just steps from the apartment (and the kitchen is very spacious and efficient if you are eating in).

Great Apartment
It was our favorite place during our stay in Italy. Our group loves older buildings with ceilings. This fit the bill. The location is fantastic. Lots of attractions and restaurants within walking distance along with close access to public transportation. There’s a pizza place one door over that’s rated in the top 10 of the city. It’s very good. The elevator is interesting. The doors open inward so it’s a challenge to fit people and luggage in the small space. We could get 3 people in without luggage if we played “elevator Tetris”. Bernardo is an excellent host. We had a few minor issues that were resolved immediately. Two drawbacks beyond host control. The street facing rooms got a lot of noise from the bar across the street. The rooms’ occupant joked that he recognized the voice of the same woman throughout our stay. The other issue was mosquitoes. The person staying in the loft had the worst of it. Drawbacks aside, we highly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Bernardo is a wonderful, attentive host and the apartment is stylish, comfortable, well-located and accommodating of a group. We stayed as an extended family of seven. The neighborhood is a bit out of the busy tourist areas of center city but close enough to walk there. Excellent gelato is right across the street! I highly recommend this apartment.

Light and Location
We loved staying south of the river and away from the crowds a bit during our stay. The top floor had lots of light and there was plenty of space to spread out. The check in and check out process was so smooth and communication before and during our stay was a breeze. Also the shower had excellent hot water! The beds were a bit old and uncomfortable and there were not enough linens for all the beds. Some details in the space were thoughtfully designed while others could definitely be improved. The furniture especially has kind of a worn and untidy feeling. At night you can hear lots of noise from the street and nearby plaza in the two front facing bedrooms. Overall good place to stay for a family or group of friends who value location and value over an abundance of creature comforts.

Good with Issues
Good with Issues - Our group of six (two couples, two singles) had a decent stay in Florence during Christmas/NewYear 2023/24. The apartment was adequate. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: Spacious unit including two decent size bedrooms and one smaller one The host was very responsive and flexible with check-in. Good kitchen with enough amenities to cook with but some broken appliances Excellent four burner electric stove There was some left over spices and food which helped meal preparations New dishwasher that cleans really well The host had added a small Christmas tree and left some tourist info The unit is on the 3rd floor and there is a small elevator that works really well Cons: The apartment was advertised as a four bedroom but only has three bedrooms - one bedroom has a small pullout couch which blocks the door to the other bed once setup. There are no written instructions about how to use the apartment (thermostat, garbage, recycling etc) and the instructions given by the host were minimal. The thermostat for the whole apartment is located in the master bedroom and there are no instructions so we were cold for a few days until we sorted it out then could only change the temperature for short durations. There was only one key for the apartment making coordinating a large group challenging and no lock box for the key. We did learn about a lock box on the final day as the host asked us to put the key in it when departing. Furniture is dated and junky: dini
