The Ponte Vecchio connects this area with the other side of the city and the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo are right on the other side. The streets of the Oltrarno are filled with fashion boutiques, jewellery designers, artisanal workshops, art galleries and typical markets. In the evening the area is populated with charming restaurants, cantinas and cafés where you can relax and taste Italian and international specialties.
Located in Borgo San Jacopo 6, at the corner of the Ponte Vecchio on the Oltrarno bank. It is unique for its location and its view on the Ponte Vecchio.

Amazing Stay in Florence

The property was well-managed, cleanly, and in a perfect location close to all the main sights and tucked away enough to avoid the crowds and noise. The host has a binder with a lot of excellent tips for the area. If I am lucky enough to travel to Florence again, I will definitely try to stay at this VRBO again!!

Home away from home!

This was our first trip to Florence and Cristiana made our stay sooo welcoming. The place is perfect with a view of the Arno River and Ponte Vecchio..close to dining and tourist options. Loved our stay here! Cristiana greeted us when we arrived and bid us farewell when we departed. She even ran to our bus stop on our departure when one of us forgot a cell phone on the side table. I would highly recommend this place. Will stay here if I return to Florence. Gracie Cristiana 🙏

Amazing location!

Steps away from Ponte Vecchio with small balconies right over the Arno, we very much enjoyed watching the various rowing practices, passing party boats, and amazing nightly views of Palazzo Vecchio’s tower with Ponte Vecchio in the foreground. In close proximity to Pitti Palace, Uffizi Gallery, and so much more, access to the sites was easy. We enjoyed listening to the nightly music performances on Ponte Vecchio from the comfort of the couches, and open screened door. Closing the door quieted the rooms nicely. The air conditioning helped cool us off after a warm day out. The washing machine and drying racks kept our clothes clean and dried. Though just one flight of stairs up, the elevator was very needed for my painful knees and for my mom who has difficulty taking stairs. Cristiana met us right on time at the apartment and gave recommendations for eating and groceries, and reserved a taxi for us on departure day. Communications were swiftly answered. A very enjoyable stay we (my husband and my 81 year old mom) recommend highly!

We had the BEST time staying at this location. The view is the best in Florence right over the Arno River; it felt like you could reach out and touch Ponte Vechio. The checkin process was very easy and the place was extremely clean, spacious, comfortable, and stylish. We would love to stay here again. The host was so knowledgable and worked to accommodate us. The location was beyond perfect and so close to everything--6/5 stars; we had such a great experience.

Great Stay In Florence!!

This is our second time staying at this property in Florence, and we'll be back!! Cristiana has taken great strides to make this apartment a super comfortable "home away from home.." The apartment is close to everything; attractions, shopping and tons of restaurants. Cristiana makes sure the apartment has every amenity needed, and is available through instant message if you have any questions or concerns. We HIGHLY recommend Santo Spirito and will definitely book this property again! Thank you Cristiana!!!

Gem on the Arno

We spent 9 nights at this fabulous location at the end of November. The apartment is extremely comfortable, in a special location, and stylishly decorated. Located on one of the most upscale streets in the Oltrano, It is on the first floor with an elevator. There is an unobstructed view of the Ponte Vecchio and the Santa Trinita Bridges. We also had a view of the spectacular Christmas lights on via Turnabuoni. The apartment is walking distance to all the major historic sights. As we have been to Florence several times, this was less important that walking distance to many great restaurants and bars (in Italy bars serve Italian breakfasts of coffee and pastries) just outside the door of the apartment. The apartment is located on an scale street for very nice restaurants and shopping. The very large grocery store is steps away with semi prepared foods and anything you could possible need for self catering. The owner met us with a very warm welcome upon arrival; Waved our taxi to the correct address (in Florence they have separate numbers for residences and businesses); Helped us bring in our luggage; showed us how to use the facilities (stove, tv, cable, heat, etc.); And recommended some local restaurants and her favorite gelato shop. She was extremely responsive to questions that came up during our stay responding within minutes of our questions. She also arranged for a cab to take us to the airport upon departure and came to help us with luggage when we left. There is a fully equipped kitchen that we mostly used for breakfast and lunch. I felt like the apartment was very well thought out for comfort and convenience. I would highly recommend and look forward to booking this gem of an apartment on our next trip.

Best Location in FLORENCE

We returned to this apartment because of the memories of the comfort and magnificent views but also because there's never enough time to experience all Florence has to offer. Cristiana is so warm and helpful and the apartment is well appointed and very clean. Every need is covered and it is so relaxing to have a home to come back to at the end of a wonderful day of being able to walk anywhere in town. Hopefully this won't be the last time spent here!

Beautiful view

This beautiful apartment was perfect for our family of 4. It had all that we needed or our stay and best of all were the location and the view of the Arno and Ponte Vecchio. Our host Cristiana was wonderful to work with and very helpful. She directed us to a great driver, Fillippo Azzara who arranged to pick us up at the airport even though we were delayed. Our homebound flight was cancelled and Cristiana offered her assistance. We loved staying in Oltrarno. After spending most of our days across the Ponte Vecchio, it was great knowing we could relax in our apartment and not have to return to the hustle and bustle where most of the attractions were. We found plenty of lovely, quiet restaurants within a short distance from our place. We would highly recommend this property and thank Cristiana for all her help.
