Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Florence, Italy

There are three bathrooms of which one has a whirlpool tub while the other has a steam shower cabin with jet shower heads while the other has just a regular shower cabine. The kitchen is well equipped with all modern amenities including an American coffee peculator, food processor, microwave, double door refrigerator, dishwasher, as well as an oven and six gas burner. The utility room has a washing machine and a dryer. The location is superb, for you are in the Heart of Old Florence. You could not get more central than this. You are on via Ghibellina next to the Barghello National Museum and you are in front of the Palazzo Borghese the street is between the Doumo (main cathedral) and the Palazzo Vecchio (the old palace). You are completely immersed in florentine artand history because you are in the area of Santa Croce (another cathedral) and all the the most important sites and museums are within 100 metres radius from the apartment.

There are the shops, flee markets, and special traditional specialty food stores. The food market both San Lorenzo and Santa Ambrogio which are definitively a must. There are numerous restaurants and one of the most highly rated restaurant and wine cellars in Europe, the Enoteca Di Pinchiori it is a block and a half away from the apartment on the same via Ghibellina. So if you want to live Florence like an indigine and having all the comfort and advantages of being in the historical centre of town, then you are in the right location for this neighbourhood has maintained its passed neighbourhood atmosphere and has not been highly influenced by mass tourism.

Well equipped kitchen with double door American style fridge,microwave, 90cm oven,6 burner cooker, blender, food processor, dishwasher, fax machine, internet access and computer, telephone, TV, DVD, Jacuzzi bath tub, steam shower cabin, hair dryer, washing machine, dryer, air conditioning.

Area:
The location is perfect for visiting and experiencing what life is really all about in Florence, for you are in the heart of the historical centre. It's just a stone throw from everything this old city has to offer from its art history culture to its food and wines to the shopping and its artisans and last but not the least its people the local Florentines. It is also a good base to stay in while you visit other important cities in Italy for Rome is only one and half hours by train, siena is 60km, Venice is two and half hours by train and not to mention the little historic towns in Tuscany, San Gimignano, Voltera, etc., are all 50km radius of Florence.

Spacious Fully Loaded Apartment

melhoney Mendham, New Jersey, USA
Review Submitted: February 2, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2007
My family and I stayed here for a week and were so happy to have found such a nice apartment. It was spacious, tastefully decorated, clean, filled with light, and fully loaded with everything you would need to prepare a meal. The bathrooms were beautifully tiled, too. This apartment was also located right above one of the best casual Tuscan restaurants in Florence with the nicest waiters. The food there was delicious (steak, pizza, pasta, chicken) and reasonably priced. We kept on going back night after night as we never had a bad meal. My husband and I could also stay there late to finish our wine, while our teenage daughters took the key and returned to the apartment to watch TV. It seemed like a very safe neighborhood. Anne was an excellent host, providing us with all kinds of information at any time and a private driver to take us to wineries and other Tuscan sites. The location couldn't be beat, either. Everything was within walking distance, even the train station which was across town. Returning home to this apartment after a busy day of touring was always a pleasure. Thank you Anne!!
Owner's Response: it was really very kind of you to take the trouble and time out to write this review,i really cannot thank you enough and i am really looking foward to meeting you all again in the near feature.many thanks,anne.

Fabulous Everything

Florida Kellys Plantation, Florida, USA
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Our group had one couple, with an adult son, and two sisters. We needed an apartment that would accommodate everyone's privacy. This magnificent apartment not only did that but provided a refuge from long days of wandering. The apartment is gorgeously appointed and is located right next to the Bargello Museum (a favorite!). It is an easy 5 minute walk to the Uffizzi and the restaurant below is charming and good.

The living room and dining area of this apartment were so lovely that we often had a hard time leaving. The stereo system and CDs provided, created a peaceful setting for our meals at home.

I can't say enough good things about this property. I would not only recommend it to others but we plan to return in the not too distant future! Thanks, Anne.

This was a fabulous apartment in the heart of Florence with all the amentities. Anne and Ferdinando are wonderful landlords, responsive and accomodating. The apartment is spacious and clean. The apartment is next door to a great restaurant who give a nice discount to the renters, Il Gatto & La Volpe. I highly recommend this rental.

Review Submitted: November 26, 2007 Date of Stay: November 2007
Anne, we had a wonderful stay in your beautiful apartment while we visited Florence! The location was convenient to everything (though the street it is on is noisy at night--you warned us about that). There were 7 of us, but we had plenty of room and every bed was a comfortable one. Your well-stocked kitchen convinced us to prepare our own dinner--twice! It was fabulous. We were on a 2-week tour of Italy, so the washing machine and dryer were a godsend. Thank you so much for your hospitality and your spotless, beautiful home. We anxiously await the remodeling of the two farmhouses you are working on--that may be our next trip to Italy!
Owner's Response: Thank you all ,i am happy you all had a good time and i am looking foward to having you all back in italy some day in the nearest future.the city centre has it's positives and negatives you have all the bars, restaurants, shops, night clubs and sites and museums all at a stone throw but one also has to contend with the noise level but i suppose that is what makes it the city.thank you very much once agian and warmest regards ciao, anne.
