Amazing Views of Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi - Extremely silent - Modern - WiFi
Location. The apartment is 60 meters from the Ponte Vecchio or Old Bridge, one of the most famous Florentine landmarks, and looks directly onto the river Arno. On the opposite bank of the river is the Uffizi museum complex and the famous Vasari Corridor, which connects the Palazzo Vecchio to the Uffizi and across the Ponte Vecchio to the Pitti Palace. Across the road is a perfectly furnished small supermarket and all around there are excellent restaurants, cafés, wine bars, fashion shops and artisans’ workshops. With just a few minutes’ walk, you can reach all the principal monuments and museums, including the Uffizi museum; the Palazzo Pitti museums and the Boboli gardens; the Piazza della Signoria with the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio as well as the Duomo or Cathedral. You can also stroll along the riverbanks admiring the city and the surrounding hills.
About the apartment. The 'Ponte Vecchio relax' apartment is on the 2nd floor of a recently fully refurbished building with all the windows overlooking the river Arno. It has two rooms plus a spacious bathroom for a total area of approximately 400 sq. ft. As all the windows look onto the river and none face the street, the apartment is extremely silent even when the windows are left open. It is served by a newly installed elevator and each room has central heating and air conditioning. Furthermore the floor is entirely in oak parquet except for the bathroom where the use of tiles has been preferred. When you enter the apartment there is a small hall and to the left you access the ample bedroom with a king size double bed. From the centre of the hall you enter the large bathroom equipped with a shower and where you will also find the washing machine. On the opposite side of the hall from the bedroom you find the living room with an equipped kitchen that can be closed out of sight when not used. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave oven; an under counter refrigerator; a dishwasher and a two fire induction hob. A toaster and coffee pot are also present. In the living room the comfortable sofa can be opened up to reveal a sofa double bed.

This property couldn't be more perfect for a stay in Florence. The view of the Ponte Vecchio, the furnishings, and the special touches like water, milk, orange juice, and coffee made our stay very comfortable. Location is no more than 10-20 minutes from all the sights. I would highly recommend this to anyone coming to Florence, especially for the first time.
This is our third stay in this fabulous apartment. The position is amazing, both for the view and the convenience, central to everywhere.Migi who greeted us on arrival is a complete legend, style personified, gracious and so very helpful.The apartment is spotlessly clean, very well appointed and comfortable.What more can I say! Wonderful!! Thank you!
This property truly can't be beat. In Oltrarno (across the river from the main part of Florence), it is maybe all of 200 yards from the Ponte Vecchio. The view from the apartment windows is postcard-picture-perfect. And it is directly across the river from the Uffizi.The apartment itself is very comfortable and efficiently laid out. The kitchenette was perfect and the washer/dryer (all in one unit) was a nice amenity. We spent a fair amount of time just hanging out and relaxing there - both as a respite from the out-of-control Florence crowds and after the intensity of ten days of prior travel including a weeklong cycling trip through the Tuscany countryside.Perhaps best of all, the host, Migi, (who lives next door) is a delightful, elderly Italian woman who could not have been more friendly, helpful and welcoming. We relished the chance to spend time with her.
This property is a 10/10. We are so happy we found this. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. The views are breathtaking - amazing- incredible.The location couldn’t be any better - when I say it’s close to everything, I mean it. Minutes walk to all the main attractions. The hosts were so friendly, available and responsive. You can tell they have pride in hosting with little details like fresh flowers. The bed is very comfortable, so is the sitting area in the living room. Wonderful little kitchenette and a washer/dryer is also in the bathroom. There are so many shops, restaurants and even a grocery store and bank right outside the door to the apartment. We felt very safe in the area, and the building was very secure. We think this is one of the best accommodations that you could possibly ask for in Florence. We will be back to this little gem.
The apartment was very charming, comfortable, well-appointed, and in an absolutely fabulous location, but the highlight was the hostess herself. She was most gracious, exuding charm, elegance, and kindness. It was a joy to meet her!
We absolutely loved this space. Not only was the location ideal, with a view of the Ponte Vecchio, but the property itself was lovely. We had everything we needed and more. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had just enough for us to make a light breakfast before we headed out for the day. When we return to Florence in the future, we will absolutely seek out this property again!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely recommend for a couple or small family who want to be close to the action in Firenze. We were also so pleased with how quiet it could be when the windows were closed!
Beautiful apartment, plenty of space with a great location and wonderful view. Migi, the hostess who lives next door, is a lovely woman who invited us over for a glass of wine. Our visit with her was one of our favorite experiences. Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Florence.
Incredible apartment overlooking the Arno and Ponte Vechhio
Incredible views of the old bridge, river, and Uffizi. The place is in excellent condition, and the hostess was so kind and generous! We will definitely stay there next time in Florence.
If you were looking for a place in Florence near everything you want and in an amazing location on the river, this is it. Great accommodations, great location, beautiful restaurants, and food wherever you need to go. I highly recommend this if you are looking into staying in Florence.
Our welcome host was amazing. 10 Out of 10 will stay again.
We were so happy with our time in Florence in this apartment. Wonderful amenities and space. So close to the Ponte Vecchio bridge, bank and grocery store. Walking distance to most everything. Restaurants nearby. Delightful checkin and checkout process. Highliy recommend
Property was well located. Apartment was very clean and equipped with all the necessities. Property manager was so kind and oriented us to the area, sharing her love of Florence. Apartment was walking distance to all attractions and landmarks. A grocery store and gelato shop are directly across the street. Would highly recommend this to any couple
Located on the Arno near the Ponte Vecchio the flat is light, airy, modern and comfortable. We were able to walk everywhere. Our hosts were thoughtful and made our visit easy. They were responsible for the perfect visit to Florence.
The flat allowed us to just walk downstairs and onto the streets of Florence. The location is super convenient to everything you need in Florence. There is a grocery store right across the street, and eateries and shopping, all steps away. You are within 20 minutes of The Duomo, the Summit at Michelangelo and the Boboli Gardens is also very close.
The best part of the experience was getting to meet our neighbors in the building. Michi and Magdalena made us feel like we were family. The experience could not have been better and we feel lucky to have been able to spend time with these two amazing ladies.
We absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed 9 days total and fell in love with the location. Check in was easy and seamless. Their sweet mother-in-law Migi was the kindest and helped us get a taxi twice and waited with us to make sure it showed up. She checked on us to make sure the washing machine was working and left us a departing gift. I would stay there again just to see Migi again.
