Great apartment and location. Close to the bridge, near restaurants, bars and shops, yet still quiet and charming. Lights were confusing Don’t sleep on the delicious tiramisu at the gelato shop at the end of the block.
The hosts Alessandra & Luigi were more than helpful & kind.The apartment was beautiful and centrally located to walking, shopping, museums and more.Thank you for a lovely stay
We loved staying here. Location was perfect. Gelato, coffee,wine shop very close.Ac and laundry were a plus. Big screen RV with Prime and Netflix access was wonderful.
We absolutely loved our stay at La Bottega del Ferro! The space was super comfortable, clean, and beautifully designed—perfect for relaxing after long days exploring Florence. It’s in a quiet spot but still really close to everything—we walked everywhere! The bed was cozy, the AC worked great, and everything felt so peaceful. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend to others!
We loved everything about this apartment. Super location and very comfortable. Especially liked the gelato shop a few doors down. Looking forward to a return trip.

Thank you for your positive review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the apartment. We will be happy to host you again!
Apartment is an old iron work shop delightfully decorated with charming metal sculptures. It's modern and nicely appointed, close to everything but not as crowded. I would definitely stay here again.
This is a nice apartment in a great neighborhood! On a quiet street but only a few blocks from Ponte Vecchio and a short walk to central city. Great coffee bar and other restaurants in the nearby piazza. The apartment was clean and well kept. I would definitely stay again!
Perfectly situated, great launching pad for a weekend in the city. Large, clean, and quiet apartment, plenty of room. Washer inside apartment (no dryer).
Checking in and out was very simple. Host was in touch with us the whole time… very seamless.

Wonderful and unique La Bottega del Ferro certainly is! Short walks to as much action as you need, or explore the quiet side of the river and all of its uniqueness. Very nice dinner, lunch and breakfast options all in a few block radius.
The property is in an excellent location and is very comfortable indeed. We didn’t use the kitchen at all as we ate in the delicious restaurants in Florence. The only downside to the property is the complicated lighting system, the fact that some of the lights are continually flickering plus the fact that the overall light level is pretty low. But it didn’t ruin our stay at all!
This is a great apartment, located very close to the city center and has easy access to great restaurants, museums, sites, etc. I highly recommend this to couples not wanting to fight the crazy prices for higher end hotels. Wonderful and just like the pictures indicate!
My husband and I usually stay at a hotel
when traveling abroad. We ventured out and decided to stay at this cute VRBO and I’m so glad we did. This large one bedroom is perfect for two, lots of space, very clean and was so convenient to everything we wanted to do In Florence. Great communication and quick responses. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal location and super funky fabulous space! A former blacksmith shop with incredible architectural details maintained in a magically urban update. Luxurious accommodations just steps away from award-winning gelato, pizza, and a hip square tucked away from fabulous shopping and nightlife a block from the river. Short walk to take in all the history and delights that Florence has to offer.
Ideal location to see all the popular sights. Very easy stroll to the Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery, Boboli Gardens and more. Great restaurants and gelato all around. In the heart of a lively and hip neighborhood yet tucked away at a quiet end of the street with no car traffic. Apartment has been professionally designed and renovated and is perfectly appointed with everything you need. As former VRBO hosts ourselves we appreciated the extra touches and the work the owner has put in to creating this fabulous place.
Great Stay! 5 Stars, Will be back, good communication
Great Stay! As advised! We will be back! A few flickering lights that were bothersome, but that was not a big deal really - and doesn’t change our overall opinion. Amazing neighborhood and location!! Beautiful renovation. There is a washer, but no dryer- that would have been helpful.
Overall good rental with a few quirks.
Pros:
- Nice apartment with multiple bathrooms
- Good location
- Easy to coordinate with renter
Cons:
- Layer of dust and grease on the kitchen table
- Needed to request two keys for four guests
- Requested we wait for a repairman on one day

UPS and downs
Excellent location and quiet. Poor lighting- no lights in the living room or dining room other than accent lights. No towels of any kind in the kitchen. We asked for a blanket, as there was none on the bed and only one thin one in the wardrobe and it was cool and rainy outside and were told they don’t provide those. However, we did manage to get one delivered, finally

This was our second time staying at VILLA LA ROCCA in the past two years. Very unique apartment in a great location close to everything you would want to visit while in Florence. We had some issues though that had me give a poor review score. After agreeing to meet for check in at 16:00 we arrived a few minutes early. We were led into a totally uncleaned apartment. Surprise, after 20 plus hours of travel to walk in and see that. Young lady checking us in was extremely apologetic and reached out to cleaner who did arrive quickly to try and get cleaned. After an hour we were told it was cleaned. We arrived to find that beds had been made and kitchen cleaned, but felt it was not a thorough cleaning after finding hair on bathroom floors and bedroom floors. To the credit of renting company I was able to schedule another cleaning while we were out. This time it was done properly. Overall, if the cleaning had been performed, we would have been completely satisfied with this stay.
