About this apartment rental
Just steps away from the Ponte Vecchio, on the “Oltrarno” side of the historic center of Florence, this lovely and elegant home provides all of the comforts of the modern world combined with the rich history of the 15th Century.
This home used to be the 'Forni Reali' or royal bakery serving the Medici and later the Italian royal family when they occupied the Palazzo Pitti. It comprises 130 square meters (approx. 1,399 sq. ft), and has 3 bedrooms, each with private bathroom, a large living room and fully-equipped modern kitchen, small study and additional half bath. The apartment sleeps 6-8 people, and wraps around a lovely courtyard garden adorned with flowers, fountain and goldfish. Decorated both for comfort and charm, the home contains an eclectic mix of antiques and modern furniture.
The apartment has its own separate entrance on the ground floor, only one step up from the street, and is equipped with all necessary amenities, including central heat and air conditioning, satellite t.v. and DVD/VCR player, Internet connection, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, and washing machine. One of the owners is an artist who splits his time between Florence and New York City, and many of his original artworks are exhibited in the home, including large oil paintings in the living room, and frescoes in the bedroom.
The apartment is located on a pedestrian-only street just off a charming piazza. There you will find a famous restaurant and delightful cafe. Just 3-4 minutes away you will find the Ponte Vecchio, and you can walk to the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria in 5-10 minutes. A parking garage is located 1 minute away, and local bus stops servicing all parts of the city are also just minutes away.

Great location! Gentiana was a 10 star guide and provided a wealth of information about the history or Florence and works of art. She arranged for our Tuscany tour and set up lunch and a wine tasting at a lovely winery.

We had a great stay in Florence and loved every interaction with Gentiana. She was so helpful with transport, great tips and suggestions and her flexibility with letting us drop luggage at the house. We were lucky to have her insight during our short stay and my only regret is that I didn't reach out to her ahead of time regarding tickets and whatnot. The property was great with plenty of room for the six of us. The washer was especially useful to catch up on laundry while we were out exploring. And you can't beat being two doors down from a quality gelato shop! Thank you for such an amazing experience :)

This spot is for the travelers wanting to be immersed in the local scene . Right next door to a popular bar , highly rated gelato shop, and several cafes you should expect a lively crowd outside your door every evening . A great spot to venture into the highlight reel of Florence attractions but just off the path enough to feel a connection to local life.

Location: close to many great spots. Right next to Palazzo Pitti. Ground level, so no stairs to get in. Directly next to a busy area, so some noise from the street and from people walking along the terrace directly above.Communication: some issues in communication that were solved at the last minute.Accomodations: incredibly spacious. Loads of ammenities (extra towels, coffee, sugar, cooking utensils, etc). Could have been a bit cleaner.
