Informazioni su questa struttura

Un'autentica esperienza di Firenze

NOTA BENE: SOGGIORNO MINIMO DI DUE SETTIMANE.

Questo è il momento di visitare Firenze! La città sta godendo di nuovi musei, negozi, gallerie, il rinnovato Mercato Centrale, un nuovo "Eataly", ottimi ristoranti (sia nuovi che classici), bar alla moda, nuove librerie e caffè, intrattenimento e musica e molto altro ancora.

Questa casa è per coloro che vogliono sperimentare l'autentica Firenze e fare qualcosa di interessante e avventuroso - dalla propria casa confortevole e ben arredata. La casa si trova nell'Oltrarno (lato sud del fiume Arno, lo stesso lato di Palazzo Pitti e il Giardino di Boboli), a circa metà strada tra il fiume e Porta Romana; vicino a Piazza Tasso. La zona è conosciuta come San Frediano, originariamente il quartiere dell'artigianato e della classe operaia - oggi più elegante, ma ancora molto genuino e con un sacco di carattere. Time Out ha recentemente elencato l'Oltrarno come uno dei "50 quartieri più belli del mondo", e Lonely Planet afferma che San Frediano (il nostro quartiere nell'Oltrarno) è tra i "10 quartieri più interessanti da visitare in questo momento".

Se vuoi sorseggiare un caffè al mattino mentre guardi il quartiere svegliarsi e prendere vita; se si desidera acquistare a livello locale generi alimentari, prodotti e carni della migliore qualità per fare uno spettacolare pranzo o cena (da gustare sulla spaziosa terrazza o nella sala da pranzo a lume di candela); se vuoi tornare a casa e rilassarti dalla folla dopo una giornata di musei; se vuoi esplorare arte, artigianato, negozi e laboratori sia tradizionali che contemporanei; se vuoi rilassarti come un locale a pranzo o cena in alcuni dei ristoranti più apprezzati e più vivaci di Firenze, allora questa è la casa che fa per te.

La casa si trova su una stradina a senso unico, all'incrocio di altre due stradine a senso unico, quindi c'è poco traffico ed è silenzioso, soprattutto di notte e nei fine settimana. È in un vero quartiere fiorentino, appena fuori dal centro turistico, quindi è lontano dal rumore, dalla folla e dalla follia, ma a soli 15-20 minuti a piedi da Piazza Repubblica (il centro).

La casa è perfetta per 2-4 persone (o sei per un soggiorno più breve). Si tratta di circa 110 metri quadrati (o 1100 piedi quadrati), senza contare la terrazza sul tetto. La casa è una storia a livello della strada, nessuno sopra o sotto. Riceve molta luce e tutte le finestre e le porte sono a doppio vetro. La casa ha due camere da letto “regolari” con porte che si chiudono: una con un letto matrimoniale italiano (equivalente di un letto matrimoniale americano), un soffitto affrescato e porte francesi; l'altra ha letti gemelli extra lunghi. La terza camera da letto è una piccola camera da letto a soppalco aperta (su dieci gradini) con un letto queen-size americano. La casa ha due bagni, entrambi con infissi moderni e docce; quello più grande ha anche una vasca.

Il soggiorno ha un grande divano componibile; la sala da pranzo ha porte francesi e una parete di pietra rustica; la cucina piccola ma completamente arredata è dotata di lavastoviglie, piano cottura a gas a quattro fuochi, forno, frigorifero full size, forno a microonde, tavolo per la colazione e tre sgabelli. Sali dieci gradini fino all'ufficio, che ha una grande area di lavoro sulla scrivania e molti scaffali (con molte guide). Su dieci ulteriori passi dall'ufficio, la grande terrazza panoramica (altri 65 metri quadrati - o, più di 650 piedi quadrati) è una delle grandi caratteristiche della casa: è parzialmente coperta, in parte pieno sole, con tavolo da pranzo e sedie per otto , due sedie a sdraio e molte piante (gelsomino, due ulivi, un albero di limoni, arbusti di alloro, siepi di bosso, erbe aromatiche): il luogo perfetto per un libro e un bicchiere di vino, cena la sera, caffè la mattina, un pranzo in ritardo nei fine settimana o per prendere il sole dopo una lunga mattinata di musei e visite turistiche.

La casa è pulita e luminosa. Tutti i mobili e gli arredi sono in ottime condizioni. La casa ha una lavatrice; accesso internet wireless; TV con satellite e lettore DVD universale e lettore CD, nel soggiorno; TV con lettore DVD universale in ufficio; sia un telefono terrestre che l'uso di un telefono cellulare italiano. Tutte e tre le camere da letto e il soggiorno dispongono di aria condizionata, che può essere attivata o disattivata o regolata in modo indipendente. La casa ha pavimenti in marmo; mattoni tradizionali toscani e soffitti con travi a vista nell'ufficio, nella camera da letto a soppalco e nella sala da pranzo; e molti tocchi dipinti a mano. Gli armadi (armadi) e alcuni altri pezzi sono affascinanti vecchi / antichi. La casa è ben arredata, con lenzuola, asciugamani, stoviglie, pentole, padelle e così via di alta qualità. Le portefinestre nella camera da letto principale e nella sala da pranzo hanno zanzariere complete.

Ora, per la posizione: siamo dietro l'angolo da un piccolo negozio a conduzione familiare per verdure, formaggi, latte, succo di frutta, deliziosi pane e dolci fatti in casa, pasta, salumi (cioè carni affettate come prosciutto e salumi) e molti altre necessità. Siamo a pochi minuti a piedi da alcune delle migliori trattorie e enoteche locali di Firenze, come La Vecchia Bettola, che è a due minuti a piedi (e molto divertente da mangiare fuori in una notte d'estate o al chiuso accanto alla stufa in una notte d'inverno); Trattoria del Carmine (anche una delle preferite); il Sabatino molto accogliente ed economico; Antico Ristoro di Cambi (famoso per le bistecche - la bistecca alla Fiorentina), il famoso Quattro (4) Leoni e l'affascinante Tranvai, tutto per la tradizionale e deliziosa cucina fiorentina. Il romantico Le Barrique, il famoso Io - Osteria Personale e il trendy Il Santo Bevitore offrono qualcosa di un po 'più moderno. Ottima pizza è appena fuori Porta Romana, e un po 'più in alto su Via Senese c'è Da Ruggero - l'epitome di una trattoria fiorentina (e perfetto per il pranzo della domenica).

La casa è comoda per diverse linee di autobus, incluso l'autobus per Siena, gli autobus che passano lungo Viale Michelangelo (per fantastici panorami!)e autobus che portano direttamente al centro città, alla Biblioteca Nazionale o agli archivi di stato. Siamo molto vicini (5 minuti a piedi) a Piazza del Carmine e alla Cappella Brancacci, altri 5 minuti a Piazza Santo Spirito con la sua bella chiesa e il mercato del mattino. Ottimi negozi locali, negozi di alimentari, enoteche, ecc. Si trovano nelle vicine Via dei Serragli e Via Romana; Via Santo Spirito per un interessante mix di locali artigianali tradizionali e negozi eleganti e moderni; e Via Maggio per le vetrine dell'antiquariato.

Local living in Florence

The Property was everything we expects and more. The Terrace was amazing and the property was very spacious. We quickly felt at home. The location was perfect. We had quick access to restaurants, a grocery store, bars and gelato. It was a quick 20 minute walk to the city center.

Highly recommend

If someone is looking for a base in the city to explore Florence and the rest of the region, then I would recommend this property. It is one of the few I could find in Florence which has good outdoor space for that lazy day sunbathing or sitting outside reading as a break from being out and about. Nothing you will want to visit in the city is more that 25 minutes walk from the house with many closer, yet it sits in a quiet residential area of the city on the other side of the river. The walk is a good way of exploring the city. Some good local restaurants within a few minutes walk, with a Carrefour three minutes walk to provide everyday essentials. For things outside the city, it is 20 minutes walk to the train station and just another couple of minutes past that to the place where all the daily bus tours depart from.You can travel easily to Sienna, Pisa, Lucca, St Gimignano and others. Even Venice is only two hours and 15 minutes away by train. The house itself is very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The owner Victoria, clearly cares a lot about it and provides very good notes on how everything in the house works, on restaurants, shops, wine bars etcetera in the area. Local management company are very efficient and easily accessible should you need anything, and the owner Victoria is easy to communicate with too. For a short or a long stay, we stayed two weeks, no negatives I can think off and its of positives. I would have no hesitation returning.

Doesn't Get Any Better

I recently returned from a two-month sabbatical in Florence. The property was ideal for my extended stay. It is gracious and well appointed (for example, the kitchen is actually adequately stocked) and located in a quiet and convenient neighborhood (about a 20 minute walk to the Duomo). The roof terrace is delightful (even with the high temperatures during the summer). And honestly, the photos don't do the place justice. Dealing w/ the owner and the local property manager was simple and efficient. My only complaint was spotty internet, something that was quickly addressed but was unfortunately an ISP issue. No matter. Still couldn't put a damper on the experience. If you're looking to be in the middle of the tourist madness, this place is not for you. If you're looking for a taste of living quietly in Florence, I cannot recommend this more highly.

Living Like the Locals

My husband and I recently enjoyed a spring stay at this charming period property located on the vibrant Oltrarno side of Florence. As the photos and listing attest, this is an immaculate, beautifully decorated house with heaps of character offering all modern conveniences. The spaces afforded by the spacious dining and living rooms, the loft and spare bedrooms, and terrace ensured that we and our guests enjoyed a relaxing and memorable stay. The location of the property was a great fit from which to visit Florence’s many sites, but it also served our needs as a base from which to explore Tuscan towns, as the house is only a short walk across the bridge to the station. This side of the river boasts the city’s best trattorias, gelaterias, and pizzerias and it also home to great craft and food markets and its fair share of the attractions like the Pitti Palace, the Boboli and Bardini Gardens, and Santo Spirito. The management of the property is first rate with easy check in and out and with helpful communication and support, if needed, throughout the stay. We enjoyed living like a local in this authentic Florentine neighbourhood and we have already recommended the house to our friends. I would definitely stay at this property on any return visits to Florence. Highly recommend.

Family house in Florence

We greatly enjoyed staying in this house for a year. For a small family, it's the perfect size and layout. There's also room for guests and for studying, as well as a wonderful roof terrace. It's very professionally managed and the owner is attentive to every detail. Highly recommended!

Elegant, comfortable, and convenient Florence home

We very much enjoyed our stay in this charming and well furnished home. It really was our home during our two-week stay in Florence. Elegantly decorated and furnished with every convenience, this home provided a perfect respite after long days of visiting churches and museums, and before evenings out eating and drinking in the neighborhood or farther afield (although on a few occasions we cooked at home). Conveniently located in Oltrarno, just south of the Arno River, we hopped the bus to the center of Florence, or simply walked up any of several paths to surrounding hills with spectacular views of the city. Close to the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens, this location is perfect -- just far enough away from the main concentration of tourists to provide a little room, and close enough to have easy access to just about everything.

Wonderful Florentine Home

We stayed in this lovely home for two weeks and absolutely loved it. The house had everything we needed and we really enjoyed the roof top patio for our morning coffee and evening refreshment. It is in the perfect location-wonderful neighbourhood and an easy walk to the Old City and to wonderful restaurants, yet away from the tourists. The property manager was very friendly and helpful and the owner provided us with suggestions for cafes, restaurants and places to visit. We found this very helpful. We highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants a truly wonderful home in Florence.

A Florentine gem

We have had several long-term stays here and have thoroughly enjoyed the house and the neighborhood. The house is lovely - comfortable, well-maintained and well-equipped. On the warm days we particularly have enjoyed the roof-top terrace for lunch, aperitivi, and dinner. The area around Piazza Tasso feels like the real Florence -- lively during the day and very quiet in the evening, with many nearby caf'es and restaurants. We particularly enjoyed be able to easily walk everywhere--Piazza Santo Spirito is ten minutes away, and the Duomo is 25 minutes by foot, via many interesting routes -- so there is always something new to discover on the way! Excellent bus transportation for trips within Florence or to other Tuscan towns (e.g., Greve-in-Chianti, Siena) is a two minute walk from the house. This has become our home-away-from-home in Florence and we look forward to our return.

Perfect Location for Italian Experience

We recently rented this house for the month of July in order to immerse ourselves in the Tuscany culture and visit various cities within a 2 hour vicinity. It was perfect! The rental property was our home away from home, with all the necessary comforts and charm of an Italian location. We enjoyed being a short walk away from the Old City and yet, away from the tourists. The house allows one easy access to the train station, bus stop, and shopping. After long days of walking or traveling, we were happy to return to our comfortable accommodations. Many mornings and evenings were spent relaxing on the terrace, where there always seemed to be a slight breeze. Hanging our laundry to dry between the lavender, oregano, and other plants, provided a fresh, wonderful smell. The local restaurants and corner Gastrononica made us feel like locals. The waiters and clerks waved to us as we made our way back to the house, sometimes weary from the heat or museum overload. We absolutely loved our location, the house, and our dealings with Victoria and her house managers. Everyone was welcoming and our one disappointment was that we had only 30 days! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Florence and travel to nearby locations such as Rome, Venice, Lucca, Siena, or Cinque Terra. A+ for this rental property.

One month Fall visit

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at this property for a month. The description of the location and house were accurate and the photos, if anything, did not do justice to the beauty of the property. The house was clean and extremely well equiped. Anything we needed was always there. The owner's 42 page House Book is incredible; it contains not only detailed instructions on how everything worked in the house, but also extensive suggestions for local restaurants, sights, food purchases, gellato etc. The House Book was also filled with helpful tips on using the bus system, hiring a taxi, finding a dry cleaner, taking day trips, tipping customs, shops, menu selections and many other bits of information that saved us time and permitted us to feel more like a local than a tourist. I am now convinced that if one has a week or more to visit Tuscany, the most enjoyable and efficient way to do it is to stay in Florence and take day trips to Siena, Lucca, and the many hill towns within an hour or two away. And, of course, Florence makes the best headquarters because of its central Tuscan location and rich collection of art, museums, restaurants and sights. We highly recommend this property. I should also add that the owner was responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

A quiet retreat

My family and I stayed here for two months over Christmas/New Year's and found it to be a quiet oasis from the main tourist spots. However, it is a vibrant neighborhood in its own, filled with native Florentines going about their day. We loved being near the Boboli Gardens and frequented it to run around, draw, and read; it is five minute walk away and one of the beautiful gardens of Europe. We loved the local restaurants and businesses and quickly felt at home. But the apartment was close to everything, and strolling to Uffizi for the afternoon was a simple delight. The house itself is beautiful, functional, and impeccably maintained. It is marble throughout, and even has a ceiling fresco in the master bedroom. Everything is there to make your stay comfortable and eventful, from (if you're lucky) new oil and spices to a great library of everything Florence. The beds were extremely comfortable, and sleeping was a pleasure there. The owner was very responsive and friendly and accommodating, and she made every effort to help us navigate Florence and Italy. Her property manager, Lori, was a gem. She answered every question, had helpful suggestions, and we felt we were never alone there. I can't say enough about the property, the owner and agent, and Florence. You will have a perfect vacation here.

Amazing Home Away From Home

We loved every single thing about this property. The decor, the rooftop patio, the space, the amenities, the location, the house book, the bedding, the furniture, the attentive property management... everything! Staying in an Italian neighborhood, shopping at the nearby market, eating at the nearby trattorias, walking out the door and all over the city... our vacation was a dream, thanks in large part to where we stayed. Highly recommended!

Ditto!

Ditto to what has been said in all of the previous reviews. We would stay here again in a heart beat. The property is exactly as described and the neighborhood is wonderful-markets, restaurants-everything within a 5 minute walk. You can walk to the train station in 15-20 minutes, the Ponte Vecchio in 15 minutes-the center of Florence in 20 minutes-and all the while working off all of the pasta and wine that you have consumed. Could not have asked for a better experience in Florence!

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful experience staying at this home in Florence in October 2010. We have rented vacation apartments in Europe several times, but this was certainly our best stay. The home has everything you could want or need. The property manager met us at the home to show us how everything worked, and provided us with lots of good information on the city. The furnishings and bedding were very comfortable. The rooftop terrace was a nice plus, as was the office. I brought my laptop along and the WIFI worked perfectly. The owner even provides two cellphones as well as a landline phone. The location is also great. It's a nice quiet neighborhood but still within walking distance to the Ponte Vecchio.The neighborhood has trattoria's, bakeries, etc. The Essalunga Supermarket is an easy 10 minute walk as well. The next time we visit Florence we would not even consider staying anywhere else but here.

An outstanding property leveraging the quintessential Florentine experience

This is, quite simply, the finest property we have rented via VRBO or any other fee-based agency. The property itself, explained in detail in the listing is absolutely true with the exception that it doesn't quite capture how beautiful, well-maintained and unique this property actually is. Words can't convey how beautiful the house is, the high quality linens, antique Vietri tiles, ceiling murals and wall paintings (20th C). The owner provides the most detailed house book I have ever encountered anywhere. The property manager was unavailable when we checked in and out but the book covered all aspects of the house to the smallest items (what to expect from the toaster, how to open a shutter). For those who have lived in Italy, these may be customary (I have and some were, some were not). For those who have not, they can be a challenge but no worries, the house book covers it all. It's impossible to imagine that a city vacation could be in a property so tranquil and quiet, but indeed it is. When you open the vestibule door, the city noise floods the space. Close it and an oasis of quiet descends. Coming from a country house that is quiet in the extreme and travelling with small children, we didn't anticipate the quiet would meet our expectations. It did and more. The apartment is located on a small neighborhood square, Piazza Tasso, with a children's park, soccer area, and music for dancing (if you have teenagers - I do). This is not Piazza Santo Spirito with marginal population (drunks, drug activity) -- it is a family park in a middle class neighborhood. Park Slope in Brooklyn or Adams Morgan in DC would be similar in spirit. The owner's recommendations for restaurants, places to shop, even to join the Friends of the Uffizi, were right on the mark. The Boboli Gardens of the Pitti Palace were our playground -- with the museum membership we entered with ease almost daily. When we came to the apartment, it was beautifully stocked with all necessary items, even milk, juice, bread, detergent, etc. We simply could not have asked for a better experience -- many thanks to Victoria for making our stay memorable and virtually seamless.

One of the best places I've stayed

Our family spent 8 days in Florence during March and stayed at this wonderful apartment. What a luxurious and well-managed home. My wife and I traveled with our 11-yr old son and my wife's 80-yr old mother. If was really a great place for all age groups. The accommodations were just what we needed. The loft became my son's "hangout" and the bedrooms were perfect for the rest of us. It is richly appointed, with marble floors, a beautifully painted ceiling in the bedroom, and modern baths and kitchen. The kitchen was very well appointed, and the office was a great surprise. We were able to keep our laptops out of the dining and living areas, and there is even a printer and scanner that we could use! Plenty of guide books and maps as well. The terrace is a treasure. Private and well-maintained, with plants and sunshine ... a great place to hang out when you're weary of museums. The place is truly great, but the real treasure was the support we got from the owner and the management company. Victoria, the owner, was available for our every question. My family cannot eat gluten, and she did research about places to go before we even arrived in Florence. She even stocked a few gluten free items in the cupboards for us to eat on our arrival! We would send her occasional emails asking for recommendations for various things, and she was always happy to help. The management company is professional and on top of things, and had this great printout of answers to the top 1000 questions. It was a great resource for understanding how to get the most out of Florence. The house also comes with an in-depth house book with clear instructions on how to do everything from hook up the wireless, do the laundry or use the dishwasher, where to empty the garbage, etc. Top-notch service. We'd definitely go back, and we love the quiet location. We also found out they they have a rental home in the Tuscan countryside, too. That would be fun, and I know it would be well maintained.

This is our home - not just a rental property. We are here every year, even if only for a few weeks, and we care about its condition, furnishings, and upkeep. Florence is our children's second home, and the city is a part of our lives. Until now, we have been renting it out by the academic year, but now that we can be visiting more often, we have decided to rent it short term - by two weeks or more.

Perché ha scelto questa struttura

We have been coming to Italy for more than 30 years - both for pleasure and for historical research. Having our own place in Florence was something we imagined for a long time before finding our ideal home: an independent house (neither apartment nor condominium); a big terrace; lots of light; a quiet street; and a real Florentine neighborhood.

Cosa rende unica questa struttura

Walking distance to almost everything, including lots of great restaurants. The terrace! Being just outside the tourist center, and in the real Florence - which is now among the coolest neighborhoods anywhere. Heading to a nearby favorite caffe for morning coffee and brioche, or coffee and breakfast at home to watch the neighborhood from the kitchen window. Having a glass of wine on the terrace while watching the sunset. We provide an informative House Book that tells not only how to work the appliances, but also offers lots of suggestions on museums, attractions, shopping, and dining, both in the neighborhood and throughout Florence. I also provide a Google map of the neighborhood, with restaurants and other places marked so that you can orient yourself before you arrive. Our friendly, bilingual (English/American and Italian) property manager in Florence will meet you, show you around the house, and be available for any problems.
