About this property

Your quiet haven at Ponte Vecchio - Views, terraces and luxuriously renovated

CIN 048017C2EAUSLACY

Situated right next to the buzzing Ponte Vecchio, this renovated 1100 sq ft / 101 sq m apartment on the top floor of a Renaissance building will charm you with its exclusive location. Luxurious furniture, Carrara marble and the omnipresent sunlight add to the beauty of this quiet and light apartment. Two exclusive terraces offer relaxation and spectacular views over Florence

Location - location - location! The terraces offer spectacular views of Florence and all its sites (Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, Piazza Michelangelo), offering an additional 860 sq ft / 80 sq m of living space.

Tasteful and inviting furniture that makes you feel right at home. The apartment has two bedrooms and a comfortable pullout couch in the living room to comfortably accommodate 6 guests. Two private marble bathrooms with showers connect to the bedrooms. The third bathroom is accessible from the living room. The open marble kitchen offers utmost independence and beautifully blends into the living space. Large windows allow for amble light and an incomparable setting.

The elevator takes you up to the 6th floor and there's one flight of stairs to reach the 7th floor. Surrounded by luxury boutique hotels, plenty of bars and restaurants are a stone throw away. Parking (Lungarno Garage) is located on the opposite side of Ponte Vechio, about a 5 min walk away. There's a large supermarket right on the other side of Ponte Vecchio.

Please contact us and we will be happy to meet and greet you personally. Certainly we rest at your complete disposal for all questions or suggestions on what to do and see whilst your in beautiful Tuscany.

It feels great to exit this quiet oasis and be immediately emerged in the feel and buzz of historic Florence. Ponte Vecchio is right there and it's up to you if you wish to linger in the quiet and more authentic little streets with its local stores, bars and restaurants, or if you would like to join other visitors on the main streets to see the Duomo, the Piazza Signoria and the Uffizi - all within 5 minutes walking distance. Or you cross Ponte Vecchio and get lost in the Santo Spirito area, where locals like to shop and dine. In all cases, you are a stone throw away from all important masterpieces.

In Florence you will get around by foot, although you may always ask the concierge of one of the three luxury boutique hotels right next to the apartment to call a taxi.

We are at your complete disposal to answer any questions. We have endless tips for the city and its surroundings!

Please note that for a stay of two weeks or more we require a weekly mid cleaning that includes a change of all linen and towels. Each extra cleaning is an extra charge of Euro 150 payable upon arrival. The date and time will be coordinated with you according to your convenience.

*Guidelines for enhanced cleaning and disinfection are being followed to guarantee the utmost safety of our guests

Summer in Florence
We had a wonderful stay in Florence, the apartment was perfect and exceeded expectations. I was certain there would be a catch and that things wouldn't be as nice as the online description, but they were! The location next to the Ponte Vecchio is hard to beat, the apartment was beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. The roof deck was beautiful and secluded and the views from the viewing deck were stunning. Washing machine and AC (we visited in a heatwave) were a real bonus. Communication with the owner was great, they also provided great tips for local restaurants and sights which was very helpful.

Lovely Stay!
The property is as advertised and was a perfect setup for our family of 4. It was light and bright, but the blackout shades allowed us to sleep in :) We loved the convenient location in the heart of Florence, steps from the Ponte Vecchio, world class shopping and dining. We throughly enjoyed our outdoor time on the terraces and rooftop!! Would highly recommend and would love to return!

Paradise in Firenze
We stayed 21 nights in this amazing place. We have had the fortune of staying in Florence several times…we have always stay in terrific hotels but this was different…and so much better. The pictures online are 100% accurate so I will not describe it. Karin met us upon arrival and was extremely helpful. Moreover, Karin was super responsive and kind for many months leading up to our stay. She is the perfect host. The apartment was extremely clean…and stayed that way. The location could not be better. Super private and close to everything. The patios are over the top. Especially the roof top area. The kitchen, as with the entire property is well appointed should you need it. This is a must stay property when you are in Florence. Thank you Karin for your hospitality and allowing us to stay in your gorgeous home.

The perfect stay in Florence
My husband and I stayed at this property for six nights in April. We are a retired couple from USA. We found the apartment location perfect. Although it is in the center of all the action, it is quiet and easy to get to and from important destinations. The unit is on the seventh floor with a lift that goes up six flights, and an easy walk up the last flight. Approximately 15 steps, very wide and easy to manage. The building and the unit itself are beautiful. The photos are accurate and represent the unit well. The kitchen is comfortable and easy to cook in unlike some smaller kitchens in other European units we have stayed in. The living room is comfortable and the bedrooms with their own bathrooms are very nice. All equipment worked just fine. Water temperature and pressure was good. Beds are very comfortable. The terraces on this unit are outstanding. There are two furnished terraces and one unfurnished rooftop but all spots are very comfortable and a great place to spend the evenings. The furniture on the terrace says , our quick dry, which is a problem we have experienced in other units. This furniture can be used even a couple hours after a rain storm. The weather changes quickly in Florence so that is a real plus. The hostess is wonderful. Quick to respond to any questions and very accessible. We will recommend this unit to friends and hope to come again ourselves.

Couldn’t have been better!
We had the best time at this apartment. Everything was great: location, layout, furnishings. It was great for two couples because the bedrooms (each with en-suite bathrooms) were at opposite ends of the apartment. We loved the terrace—we were lucky that it was sunny and not too cold most of the February week we were there and spent a lot of time lounging outside. The kitchen had everything you might need and there was a nice grocery store right across the river. The apartment was in the center of things—it was great to be able to sightsee or go out to dinner on either side of the river and then come back to the apartment’s tranquility. Karin was also a very responsive host. I would definitely stay again at this apartment and would recommend it to my friends.

About the host

Hosted by Karin Honsberg

Host profile image
With the help of a renown interior designer, my husband and I have lovingly renovated this beautiful and light apartment and we are renting it out to world-wide guests that enjoy traveling in style. Having worked all around the world in the luxury hotel sector, we know what guests expect and need to truly enjoy their stay. My husband is Italian and I am German.

Why they chose this property

It has always been our dream to own a property in Tuscany and especially in Florence. The beauty of this part of the world is overwhelming. We have lived in Florence for over three years, decided to buy our dream apartment next to Ponte Vecchio and have lovingly renovated it. The location is perfect and every part of the city can easily be reached within no time. In May 2013 we started renting it out to trusted guests.

What makes this property unique

Location - the three terraces with blooming flowers and a lemon tree, plus views of the whole city - the warm light that falls into the apartment during the day. The apartment is luxuriously furnished, light, quiet and very clean. Its biggest draw is the unbeatable location right next to Ponte Vecchio and its interior design.
