Photos and Description of the Florence vacation apartment rental

Dating back to the 15th century, this Florence holiday apartment within a palazzo overlooks the Arno River with views of the Uffizi, Duomo, and Palazzo Vecchio. Elegant wood floors, painted wardrobes, and comfortable furniture combine to make this elegant accommodation in Florence an integral, memorable part of your Italian holiday. This Tuscany apartment is just the place to stay while exploring one of the country’s most famous cities.

This palazzo dates back to the 15th century, when the banks of the Arno River were flanked by palazzi (palaces) belonging to patrician families such as the Bardis. The edifice was modified over the centuries until the mid-19th century, when a famous architect, Enrico Poggi, endeavored to transform Florence into a capital city. He modeled the palazzo after the Lungarno Torrigiani area in order to maintain the classical renaissance color palette of cream plaster and gray “pietra serena” stone, which is visible in so many buildings throughout the city. A daytime doorman is available and each apartment is made secure with a bell and a buzzer.

(133 m2/1431 ft2) Fifth Floor (with lift): This spacious, top floor apartment offers spectacular views. On one side of the apartment, the dining/living room and two double bedrooms all share the same beautiful view of the Arno and the Uffizi Gallery. The dining/living room has a table, chairs, and a sofa bed comfortable for one, and the master bedroom has a queen-size (160 cm) bed, which can be made into two twin-beds on request. The second bedroom also has a queen-size (160 cm) bed. On the other side of the apartment, overlooking via de'Bardi and the red tiled roofs of the city, is a spacious kitchen, a bathroom (with sink, toilet, and tub with handheld showerhead), and a third bedroom with two twin-beds and an ensuite bathroom (with sink, toilet, and shower).

Extra Services: The following are listed as an aid for trip planning; the services and prices are approximate and cannot be guaranteed by Rentvillas. All extra services are payable locally in cash. Upon Request: Microwave, CD/DVD player, answering machine, portable baby crib, and high chair. Housekeeping can be arranged for an additional cost (includes cleaning supplies). Please Note: This apartment is not suitable for students. Kitchen towels, bath towels (two sets per person), and bed linens (two sets per bed) are provided for the duration of the visit. Air conditioning is available in the living room and the master bedroom. Utilities and final cleaning are included in the weekly rental price, but there are additional charges for stays longer than one week. Parking is difficult to find in Florence, so a car is not recommended.

The palazzo housing this Florence apartment is situated on the south side of the Arno River in the Oltrarno district of Florence. On one side, the accommodation in Florence overlooks the Arno and the Uffizi Gallery, and on the other side, the via de'Bardi. In the neighborhood you'll find food shops, clothing stores, and restaurants. Nearby Attractions: The Otrarno is the area of Florence that is south of the Arno River. While it contains some of the most famous and characteristic Renaissance buildings, it is also a quarter known for authentic flavor. Here you will find the Santo Spirito Church designed by Brunelleschi, the Santa Maria del Carmine Church with its famous Brancacci Chapel containing Masaccio’s exquisite frescoes, and the Palazzo Pitti. There are magnificent views of Florence from the Forte Belvedere and Piazzale Michelangelo, a prime destination for a gelato or glass of wine while watching the sunset. For those who like quirky, a visit to La Specola Museum, with wax anatomical models from the 18th century, is sure to fascinate. In addition to all of this, the quarter has many fine restaurants and shops, as well as an open-air market in the Piazza Santo Spirito.
