I honestly cannot recommend this spot enough! It’s a 10 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio bridge and a 5 minute walk to Pitti’s palace and the beautiful Boboli Gardens! Antonella has all the amenities you can think of and she’s a lovely host! If you’re looking for the authentic Italian experience this is your spot. With many local bistros and bars right around the corner. 10/10 would recommend and will be staying here again.

Very comfortable place to stay close to everything and clean.
We loved staying here. the apartment is very tastefully decorated, warm, inviting, and comfortable. we didn't want to leave! antonella was extremely helpful and solved any problems we had.
Lovely authentic decor, very well equipped kitchen, lots of hot water for showers, responsive, helpful host, comfortable bed and very nice linens. A great place for our stay!
The apartment was so charming! We had a very lovely stay. A 20-minute walk got us to the awesome sights of Florence. And Antonella was so nice!! We would definitely stay there again!
Close to attractions, amenities, and transportation lines. Antonella was very responsive throughout the whole experience. We recommend this place to anyone visiting beautiful Florence.
Antonella offers a real home to guests who want to see all the beauties of Florence. Everything is clean, neat and comfortable. We greatly appreciated the bottle of wine Antonella gave us to welcome us!
Great location near restaurants, shops, attractions and locals. Perfect space for 2-3 people. The patio was nice but we didn’t use it because it was too chilly outside. Host was responsive and helpful and provided a nice selection of welcome treats.
Beautifully appointed apartment in an awesome location!
My husband and I absolutely loved our 6 nights in this beautiful apartment! It had everything we needed and more. We could walk to everything and yet were away from the crowds. We enjoyed preparing some meals in the darling kitchen as well as eating out in fabulous restaurants close by. We will definitely recommend to family and friends 💗
We stayed 4 nights in Florence at the apartment and were greeted with everything we needed for the next morning, including toast, jam, juice, and milk. This really is a darling place, and quite a romantic set up. We appreciated the moka pot and all the utensils to create our own meals. Very well outfitted!
We truly and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we were provided with all the amenities needed and more!! The apartment was perfectly clean and and tidy, the location was perfect within walking distance of all tourist sites. We enjoyed being in the other side of the bridge as it was quite a bit quieter and better food options as it was a little less touristy. 10/10 would recommend to anyone
Apartment was good size, clean and conveniently located a short walk from the Ponte Vechio The host was friendly and helpful. Rooms were a good size, except for the bathroom -- very small. Still, overall, we would recommend it.
We enjoyed our stay at Antonella's apartment. It's located in a very convenient area of Florence and easy walking distance to the centre of the city and its location close by to the Boboli gardens. The apartment had everything we needed for our short stay in Florence including a supermarket a few doors down from the apartment and other surrounding shops and restaurants. On our arrival we were warmly welcomed by Antonella's assistant who helped us settle in. We highly recommend Antonella's apartment as being a great introduction to the city of Florence.
We were welcomed by the very patient Antonella upon our arrival.
After much conversation over several months, it was a pleasure to meet.
The apartment was small and cozy; perfect for 2 people. I’ve rented with VRBO for at least a decade, and must say the kitchen was probably one of the best stocked . A nice patio for a sunny day, comfy living room, good internet.
I was concerned about noise as the apartment is right on the road, but honestly never heard a sound once we went to bed, and I’m an early sleeper.
All in all, I would definitely rent again.
We enjoyed our stay here. The place was perfect for a couple. The bathroom was small but it worked for us. Please be aware if you have mobility issues there may be concerns with the bathroom since there are steps. We had one small maintenance issue but it was very quickly resolved. The location was very good. All we needed to do was step outside and turn to walk into the city. You are on a busy street so there is street noise although the location is part of that. We would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your place with us for a few days.
This is, by far, the best VRBO experience I’ve had yet. The apartment has everything you could possibly need, and a gift of a bottle of wine was even included. All appliances/electronics worked as expected. Most importantly, the a/c got ice cold, which is very important to me (I found this to be rare in Italy). This was the only place I stayed at in Italy where there were no issues with the wifi. Shower got hot fast and stayed hot. The whole place was spotlessly clean and very nicely decorated. Andrea was so friendly and helpful. Be prepared to walk a bit to get to the city center, but it’s not a bad walk at all. I actually enjoyed this area because I found it to be a little more peaceful and a good escape from the hustle and bustle. I will definitely be returning to Florence and will make it a point to stay here again.
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
Antonella's place was an absolutely charming, completely appropriate apartment that completely fit the style and feeling of Florence. From the moment we walked in, we felt at home.
Antonella obviously put a lot of careful thought into what a home away should have to offer. Consequently, everything you could need to make meals and eat them in comfort were provided. Not only that, but when we arrived, there was a small container of milk as well as some bread and other necessities that we, as weary travellers, so much appreciated. She even left us a bottle of wine!
The location, 5 minutes from the Boboli Garden and 10 minutes by foot from the Pitti Palavce couldn't have been better, and though we were in town, the street is quiet. The bed was very comfortable. What more can I say?
Thank you Antonella for making our stay in Florence so enjoyable.

The property was in a great location it offered all of the best parts about Florence, while at the same time being away from the very tourist heavy areas. The property itself had everything you could need/hope for in a place to stay. It was spacious, clean and had great amenities. The property owner and manager were very communicative and made check in and check out very easy. I have no negative things to say at all. We had a wonderful time in Florence and our stay was made that much better and easier by staying here!
