Photos and Description of the Florence vacation rental 1 Double bedroom, self-catering apartment with great view

Apartment Orto is located in the characteristic district called Oltrarno only a few steps from “Piazza del Carmine” and the famous “Brancacci Chapel”. You will also easily reach Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Pitti, Piazza Santo Spirito. This comfortable and cosy flat offers a stay for up to four (4) people. Sleeps are available in the double bedroom and two (2) extra sleeps are available on the sofa bed in the living room. Peculiarities of this apartment are a beautiful view onto a garden right off the living room and its quietness and peacefulness. This place is suitable for Holiday renters. The living area offers two extra sleeping spaces with the sofa bed that, in size, is just about a king-size bed. If you are coming with your kids, maybe choosing a 2 + 2 apartment might be a very convenient way: the sleep will be just as good as a regular bed and the money in your wallet will still be enough to spend on shopping.

The Oltrarno or San Frediano, is the whole area located in the South of the river Arno. Historically the area was added to the growing city centre at the end of 1100 in order to include all the artisans’ activities that were becoming more and more vital for the economy of Florence. At the end of 1300, Florence was divided in several “Quartieri” each taking the name by the closest church. The famous church of “Santo Spirito” gave the name to the southern community of Florence. Today most of the flavours of the artisan atmosphere and style are still preserved thanks to our artisans who pass on their knowledge and their crafts generation by generation. The property distances only a few steps from “Piazza del Carmine” and the famous “Brancacci Chapel”. You will also easily reach Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Pitti and Piazza Santo Spirito.

A perfect place to stay in Florence

Hazy Kent
Review Submitted: May 5, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
The apartment lived up to the description and pictures on the website so we were not at all disappointed. The description was entirely accurate. It was immaculately clean and in very good condition. Lorenzo met us at the apartment on time and gave us some useful information about the city. The location is good if you don't mind walking a little bit - if you do then you may need to stay nearer the centre. However, don't let this put you off - if you can walk then it is worth it. It only takes about 10 minutes to get to the centre and it's rather nice to escape the noise etc at the end of the day. While we were there, the weather was not brilliant but I can imagine that in the summer, the apartment would be perfect as it is light and airy with a pleasant view of a convent. I would recommend this property to a friend without hesitation and in fact would stay in it again should I return to Florence. We found the local restaurants expensive and after a few days, found the cheapest way to eat out was in a pizzeria. As the apartment has a very good, well equipped kitchen there would be no problem if you wanted to save a bit of money and eat in. There is an excellent bakery shop opposite the apartment so breakfast is no problem! Finally, the apartment is not too far from the station. We caught the bus from Florence airport to the station and then walked with our suitcases to the apartment. It took about 10 minutes but it would also be possible to take a taxi if you wanted. I hope you enjoy your stay in this apartment - it really is a little home from home.
Owner's Response: Hello Haz, brilliant ! this is what I would say in your area and tante grazie for this kind and very nice review. We were so pleased in reading it and you have been very nice writing it, I hope to see you again soon at our apartments. We have over 8 years of experience in renting both owned and managed properties, we consider all the suggestion from our clients to always improve our apartments and service. We hope this review helps other future renters in what to expect coming to our apartment, thanks to all!
