Gorgeous apartment. Everything you could possibly need for a short or long term stay in Florence. Beautiful location on the river and overlooking the Ponte Vecchio. Allesandra was very helpful in assisting us with planning our trip. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful apartment.

Exclusive is the right word for this apartment

All we said when we walked in was WOW! Beautiful, modern, huge! The location is perfect. PeteVeccio bridge is right around the corner.Great restaurants and all the attractions are within walking distance. Just don't eat at a little cafe across the street. It looks attractive, but in fact it's expensive and the food is average. Alessandra is really nice and helpful. The only problem we had was noise. People stay up on the bridge really late and they are pretty loud. But aside from the noise, it was perfect!

Truly a 'Room with a View'

We were 4 adults staying in this marvellous apartment. We were greeted by Alessandra, who was a delight and so helpful. She made us feel a part of the neighbourhood. The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms suited our needs. The kitchen was well equipped. The living room was roomy and the balcony was always occupied by one of us enjoying the view and activity of the river and the Ponte Vecchio. It was handy to have the supermarket close by. But better still were the number of outstanding restaurants just at our doorstep. We hope to return soon. Thank you, Alessandra, for all your help and good cheer.

If anything, the pictures in this listing don't do the apartment justice. We stayed there for 10 days, and it was a wonderful sanctuary at the beginning and end of each day -- and a lovely place for the cocktail hour. The location couldn't be more ideal. Within an easy walk of the Uffizzi, the Pitti Palace, S. Lorenzo market, L'Accademia, Piazza Santo Spirito, and many fabulous restaurants -- we especially loved Al Tranvai (Piazza Torquato Tasso), Osteria de Cinghale Bianco (across the street and a few blocks west of the apartment), Momma Gina (also across the street and just west), Osteria Antiqua Mescita San Niccolo (just a few blocks east of the apt.), Trattoria 4 Leoni (near Pitti Palace). The nearby grocery store (blue awnings -- name escapes me) has a pretty good wine selection -- and you can't go wrong with the Chianti Classico's. Beautiful cheeses also -- as well as anything else you might need. Alessandra is a doll. So organized, efficient, reliable, and FUN. I would, without hesitation, recommend this place to anyone planning to visit Florence. And, if I'm ever fortunate enough to visit Florence again, I'll definitely be landing at TraDuePonti!!

Owner response:Thank you for your review Leslie, I hope to see you backin Florence sometime!!

This apartment was presented very well in both the description and photos - there were no disappointments. We were shocked with how spacious it is - as sometimes photos are deceiving The apartment was clean; rooms very comfortable; well stocked kitchen. The views are beautiful, and easy accessibility to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing attractions. Alessandra was very helpful - both prior to our arrival (in emails) and when we arrived - showing us around the apartment. I would definitely recommend this apartment to friends and family and look forward to my next visit!

BELLISSIMO FIRENZE PONTE VECCHIO

BELLISSIMO! My husband and adult son have stayed twice at this glorious apartment - we will always continue to only stay with Alessandra in this beautiful city! The apartment is even more fabulous in person - and I only hope by telling you how wonderful the apartment is and how gracious Alessandra is, that we will be able to still find dates available for us! Every room in the apartment is immaculate - the kitchen is wonderful to work in - our son loves to cook and every imaginable utensil is provided! (The best supermarket has been built less than 100 metres away - this supermarket was not available on our first stay - and is now famous with the locals - wines, cheese, fresh produce - great cuts of meat - spatchcocks, etc). However, back to the apartment! The bedrooms are beautifully finished with fine linens and so peaceful for sleeping. The bathrooms are luxurious - providing every amenity and soft sumptuous towels. The dining room, however is the piece de resistance! For breakfast lunch and dinner you experience the most famous and magnificent aspect of Firenze! From our first arrival we felt that we were home - and Alessandra is such a wonderful host - helping in any way she can in such a gracious manner, her local knowledge and the fact that she is not far away is invaluable. We can't wait for our return in 2011 (subject to availability!). Ciao from Raine, Jim & James

A little bit of heaven in Florence.

There are so many wonderful things to see and do in Florence. You can walk to most of them from this apartment. The location is amazing. The Ponte Vecchio really is right out the window. You can hear the delightful music played there weekend evenings but other than that the apartment is quiet. The apartment itself is very nice, clean, roomy and has everything you need to be comfortable while you're there. The manager is a lovely woman. You will not regret staying in this wonderful place. My only regret is that we only reserved a week. Next time, I'll know better and will book at least two weeks.

Being at home next to Pont Vecchio

My husband and I spent a delightful four days at this very clean and well-stocked condo. The location and view cannot be beat. We found several excellent restaurants within a block and one day after wandering afar in Florence hopped on a city bus which delivered us right across the street from home. We enjoyed bringing food in and just sitting watching the view throughout the night. The apartment had coffee, condiments, appliances, washer, internet, printer and much more. The few personal neccessities we needed could be bought at the supermarket a half block away. We could wander out at 9pm and enjoy the street scene and drop into a concert at a neighborhood church grab a glass of wine and be back to our view by midnight. Our host was very helpful and arranged early morning transportation to the airport. The pictures on website accurately depicts the modern apartment.

We stayed at the Tra Due Ponti apartment for 8 wonderful days during October 2009. The apartment is everything that is advertised on the website and so much more. The views from the apartment are spectacular. The apartment itself is very spacious, was spotlessly cleaned when we arrived, and is very well equipped. The building is lovely and the location could not be better. Dealing with Alessandra and Mrs. Gaito was an added pleasure. We have traveled to Florence numerous times but have always stayed in hotels. Now that we have found Tra Due Ponti, we will never stay anywhere else. In fact, we have already booked our reservations for 2010.
