Florence Vacation RentalWonderful apartment in the heart of Florence. Special long rental rate

Our guest's description: Date Rating Comment [Guest Comments: 1 positive, 0 negative] 05/11/08 Positive The only problem with the apartment on Borgo Pinti is that we do not own it. Location: In our 60’s and moderate speed walkers, during the 3 months we lived in Borgo Pinti, we found that we could walk to Santa Croce 6 minutes, Duomo, Bargello, Academia or Museo di Pietre Dure 5 minutes, Piazza della Republica or Piazza della Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi) 10 minutes, Ponte Vecchio or Train Station (Santa Maria Novella) 15 minutes. Borgo Pinti is a very historic street dating to the Etruscan period. It has a famous Perugino painting, the first iron balcony ever in Florence (second on the Palazzo Vecchio), the homes of the Renaissance architects, the Sangallos.

The street has many wonderful shops and restaurants making food shopping etc rather easy. The Apartment is a spacious two bedroom, two full baths with a complete kitchen, including 4 gas burner cook top, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, sink and drying rack, blender, toaster etc etc. There is a clothes washer and a drying rack. There is a great room for lounging and eating. It also has air conditioning which we did not use because we were there from winter to spring and screens on the windows, very rare in Italy but important during the Florence mosquito season.

There are 3 televisions with DVD equipment and satellite service. There is a high speed wi-fi which we found highly reliable, (one brief outage for a server problem in 3 months). All of the equipment and appliances operate as they should. Located on the second piano (which Americans consider the third floor), there are 56 steps to climb to reach the apartment. In addition to all of this, one of the real assets of this apartment is Claudia, the owner who lives in Napoli, Serena, the manager and Martina, the person who cleans. They are immediately responsive and eager to please and wonderful, warm people.

Golf: We have lived in other apartments in Florence, but Borgo Pinti is the best that we have found. Robert & Rachel, Worthington, OH USA 614 436 9244
