Casetta Bonsi della Ruota Florence apartment sleeps 4. This is our most popular Florence property due to its charm and excellent historic center location. It's even better then an apartment in Florence as it is a lovely private house right in the historical center of Florence. Stroll two short blocks and you're at the famed Ponte Vecchio.

This is an extraordinary house in an extraordinary location, close to the action but situated in its own little piazza so that you can escape and relax on the terrace while listening to the sound of church bells tolling throughout majestic Florence.

For even more details see the URL below for our website.

The Casetta Bonsi della Ruota house is an excellent home-away-from home right off the famed Ponte Vecchio and provides much more space and privacy then a comparable vacation apartment in Florence. Newly remodeled and tastefully decorated, you'll cherish the privacy and convenient access that this house offers.

Cross the Ponte Vecchio going towards the Pitti Palace, take a quick left up a little street, and you're home in two minutes after morning of sightseeing, an afternoon of shopping, or a long lunch. Just on the other side of the river is the famed Uffizi Gallery, only an five minute walk from the house.

One of the most surprising aspects is that this is truly an independent house, on its very own little piazza, the tiny "Piazza de' Bonsi " and was built in 1890 by the longtime Florentine Bonsi della Ruota family. As you enter the house, the living room and kitchen are to your right, and the stair case to the second floor is directly in front of you. The house has beautiful Italian terra-cotta tile throughout the main living area, a brand-new kitchen and bathroom with the latest appliances, as well as charming decorator touches throughout.

The spacious living room has a beautiful antique painted Venetian china cupboard, lovely Tuscan dining table and chairs, and a comfortable sofa that includes a pop-up trundle bed that can be made up into two twin beds or a king-size bed (first hand experience attests that these are very comfortable beds!). Enjoy breakfast in the sleek kitchen if you prefer at the little counter that overlooks onto the private garden of the lovely villa next door. Off the kitchen is a small laundry room with washing machine.

The bedroom is upstairs with a king-size bed and beautiful Tuscan armoire and dresser. Off the upstairs landing is the private terrace where you can take your morning espresso or sip a glass of Chianti as the sun sets over this dazzling city. The bathroom is beautifully appointed, clean white tile and Carrera marble, a terrific enclosed shower, bidet, plenty of water pressure, lots of storage and halogen lighting.

Florence is a great city for walking, now that car access has been restricted, you can saunter through the city streets in the heart of town as the streets are now pedestrian boulevards. Since Casetta Bonsi della Ruota is so conveniently located you can walk to all the major attractions.

Please note that there is a 4-NIGHT MINIMUM BOOKING PERIOD, except Easter, Christmas, New Year's weeks when a 1-week minimum booking period applies.
