En Àkta Florensupplevelse

Observera: tvÄ veckors minimum vistelse.

Det Àr dags att besöka Florens! Staden njuter av nya museer, butiker, gallerier, den renoverade centrala marknaden, en ny "Eataly," fantastiska restauranger (bÄde nya och klassiker), hip barer, nya bokhandlare och kaféer, underhÄllning och musik, och mycket mer.

Detta hus Àr för dig som vill uppleva den autentiska Florens och göra nÄgot intressant och Àventyrligt - frÄn sitt eget bekvÀma och vÀlmöblerade hem. Huset ligger i Oltrarno (södra sidan av floden Arno, samma sida som Pitti-palatset och Boboli-trÀdgÄrdarna), ungefÀr halvvÀgs mellan floden och Porta Romana; nÀra Piazza Tasso. OmrÄdet Àr kÀnt som San Frediano, ursprungligen hantverket och arbetarklassens grannskap - idag mer exklusivt, men fortfarande mycket Àkta och med mycket karaktÀr. Time Out noterade nyligen Oltrarno som en av "de 50 coolaste stadsdelarna i vÀrlden" och Lonely Planet sÀger att San Frediano (vÄrt grannskap i Oltrarno) Àr bland de "tio coolaste stadsdelarna att besöka just nu."

Om du vill smutta kaffe pÄ morgonen medan du tittar pÄ stadsdelarna vaknar och vÀxer upp; om du vill handla lokalt för matvaror, rÄvaror och kött av bÀsta kvalitet för att göra en spektakulÀr lunch eller middag (som kan avnjutas pÄ den rymliga terrassen eller i matsalen med levande ljus); om du vill komma hem och varva ner frÄn folkmassorna efter en dag med museer; om du vill utforska konst, hantverk, butiker och verkstÀder bÄde traditionella och samtida; Om du vill koppla av som en lokal över lunch eller middag i nÄgra av Florens mest uppskattade och livligaste restauranger - dÄ Àr detta huset för dig.

Huset ligger pÄ en liten envÀgsgata, i korsningen mellan tvÄ andra smÄ envÀgsgator, sÄ det finns lite trafik, och det Àr tyst, sÀrskilt pÄ natten och pÄ helgerna. Det Àr i ett riktigt florentinskt omrÄde, precis utanför turistcentret sÄ det Àr borta frÄn buller, folkmassor och galenskap, men bara en 15-20 minuters promenad till Piazza Repubblica (centrum).

Huset Àr perfekt för tvÄ till fyra personer (eller sex för en kortare vistelse). Det Àr ungefÀr 110 kvadratmeter (eller 1100 kvadratmeter), rÀknar inte takterrassen. Huset Àr en berÀttelse pÄ gatunivÄ, ingen över eller under. Det blir mycket ljus, och alla fönster och dörrar Àr dubbla panelerade. Huset har tvÄ "vanliga" sovrum med dörrar som stÀngs: ett med en italiensk matrimoniale-sÀng (amerikansk king size-sÀng), ett freskomÄlt tak och franska dörrar; den andra har extra lÄnga enkelsÀngar. Det tredje sovrummet Àr ett litet, öppet, loft sovrum (upp tio steg) med en amerikansk queen size-sÀng. Huset har tvÄ badrum, bÄda med moderna inventarier och duschar; den större har ocksÄ ett badkar.

Vardagsrummet har en stor sektionssoffa; matsalen har franska dörrar och en vÀgg av rustik sten; det lilla, men fullt möblerade köket har diskmaskin, eldstad med gasspis, ugn, kylskÄp i full storlek, mikrovÄgsugn, frukostbord och tre stolar. GÄ upp tio steg till kontoret, som har ett stort skrivbordsarbete och massor av bokhyllor (med massor av guideböcker). UppÄt tio steg frÄn kontoret Àr den stora takterrassen (ytterligare 65 kvadratmeter - eller mer Àn 650 kvadratmeter) en av husets fantastiska funktioner: det Àr delvis tÀckt, delvis full sol, med matbord och stolar för Ätta , tvÄ loungestolar och massor av vÀxter (jasmin, tvÄ olivtrÀd, ett citrontrÀd, laurbÊrbuskar, lÄdhÀckar, örter) - det perfekta stÀllet för en bok och ett glas vin, middag pÄ kvÀllen, kaffe pÄ morgonen, en sen lunch pÄ helgerna eller för att suga upp lite sol efter en lÄng morgon med museer och sightseeing.

Huset Àr rent och ljust. Alla möbler och möbler Àr i utmÀrkt skick. Huset har en tvÀttmaskin; trÄdlöst internet; TV med satellit- och universal DVD-spelare och CD-spelare i vardagsrummet; TV med universal DVD-spelare pÄ kontoret; bÄde en landtelefon och anvÀndning av en italiensk mobiltelefon. Alla tre sovrummen och vardagsrummet har luftkonditionering, som kan slÄs pÄ eller av eller justeras oberoende. Huset har marmorgolv; traditionella toskanska tegel och takbjÀlkar pÄ kontoret, loftet sovrummet och matsalen; och mÄnga handmÄlade inslag. Armadiorna (garderober) och nÄgra andra bitar Àr attraktiva gamla / antikviteter. Huset kommer vÀl inredda med högkvalitativa lakan, handdukar, disk, krukor, kokkÀrl, och sÄ vidare. De franska dörrarna i sovrummet och i matsalen har fulla myggskÀrmar.

Nu för platsen: Vi Àr runt hörnet frÄn en liten familjeÀgd butik för grönsaker, ost, mjölk, juice, lÀckra hemlagade bröd och bakverk, pasta, salumi (det vill sÀga skivade kött som prosciutto och salamis) och mÄnga andra nödvÀndigheter. Vi Àr nÄgra minuters promenad till nÄgra av Florens bÀsta lokala trattoriaer och vinbarer, som La Vecchia Bettola, som Àr en tvÄ minuters promenad (och jÀttekul att Àta ute pÄ en sommarnatt eller inomhus vid spisen pÄ en vinternatt); Trattoria del Carmine (ocksÄ en favorit); den mycket mysiga och billiga Sabatino; Antico Ristoro di Cambi (kÀnd för biffar - la bistecca Fiorentina), den populÀra Quattro (4) Leoni och den charmiga Tranvai, allt för traditionell och utsökt florentinsk mat. Romantiska Le Barrique, den högt rankade Io - Osteria Personale och den trendiga Il Santo Bevitore erbjuder nÄgot lite mer modernt. Fantastisk pizza ligger precis vid Porta Romana, och lite lÀngre upp via Senese Àr Da Ruggero - symbolen för en florentinsk trattoria (och perfekt för söndagslunch).

Huset Àr bekvÀmt för flera busslinjer, inklusive buss till Siena, bussarna som passerar lÀngs Viale Michelangelo (för fantastisk utsikt!), och bussar som gÄr direkt till centrum, till Nationalbiblioteket eller till statsarkiv. Vi Àr mycket nÀra (5 minuters promenad) till Piazza del Carmine och Brancacci-kapellet, ytterligare 5 minuter till Piazza Santo Spirito med sin vackra kyrka- och morgonmarknad. Stora lokala shopping, matbutiker, vinbutiker etc. finns pÄ nÀrliggande Via dei Serragli och Via Romana; Via Santo Spirito för en intressant blandning av traditionella hantverksrum och eleganta, moderna butiker; och Via Maggio för antikvitetsfönster.

Se ocksÄ vÄrt vackra och rymliga hus pÄ landet, med underbar privat pool och tomt, i den bÀsta delen av den toskanska landsbygden: vrbo 120701

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.

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.

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.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

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.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

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.
