Hey from Barbara

Member since November 2011 | 69,367 hits
I am a restorer of antique pianos with two young children.

I am glad to occasionally host people in a space right in the center of Florence.

I am usually cheerful and optimistic as long as you don't destroy the apartments.

Area city center
The apartments are located right in the city center, just a short walk from the old bridge and Palazzo Pitti. The area is bustling with shops and restaurants, but despite this, Piazza della Passera is a peaceful and safe area. There are all the old artisan shops, making it one of the few fairly untouched areas of the city.

Delightful apartment, tastefully furnished. Very central location, just a stone's throw from all the attractions of Florence. Great for those without their own means of transport and who do not want to use public ones. Complete with all the necessary accessories, great for 4 adults. Owners' availability and courtesy. Highly recommended!

A lovely spacious self-catering apartment right in the heart of Florence. Located in a reasonably quiet area (quiet as far as any city center location can be), it can't be more than 100 meters from the south side of the Ponte Vecchio, and about the same distance from the Pitti Palace. Barbara is helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome. She took pity on my poor Italian and spoke English, told us all about the facilities as well as showing us the nearest shops and recommended places to eat. We would not hesitate to go back!

Strategic location! Right in the historical center, so you can easily walk around the entire historic center of Florence! Quiet and well-served area, within a few meters you can find everything, from supermarket, to post office, to ice cream shops, to clothing stores, and to many delightful local places. The apartment is equipped with everything you need for a more or less long stay and the owners, Mrs. Barbara and her husband, are always kind, caring, and helpful. Recommended structure.

The studio is cozy and detailed in every aspect just as shown in the pictures. The location is perfect as it is a stone's throw from the historic center (in a very charming ancient building) in a lively but not chaotic context. Maximum cordiality and availability from the managers. The ratings speak for themselves.

Excellent solution for visiting Florence, two minutes from the Ponte Vecchio Apartments and therefore close to all points of interest. Many nearby restaurants of good quality. The apartment I rented is a fairly large studio, well furnished, with a lot of atmosphere and equipped with all comforts. I have never found apartments where nothing was missing, even small accessories like the corkscrew, the hairdryer, and various seasonings, in addition to the normal appliances. The only downside is the lack of a bidet, but the shower is quite spacious. The price is certainly excellent even for the quality of the offer. I advise against going by car, as unfortunately I had to do, as the traffic, regardless of the fact that the area is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), which can be solved by going to a garage, in the historic center of Florence is really difficult, with very narrow streets, one-way streets, pedestrian areas, and an absolute lack of parking, all combined with not exactly optimal signage. If possible, much better to take the train.

We had a great time on Valentine's Day. Very elegant and fragrant place, very clean and nice. The manager of the property was friendly and efficient, but above all helpful. I recommend it to anyone looking to spend a few days relaxing in Florence. A key feature is that it is just a stone's throw from Piazza Pitti and Ponte Vecchio.

The B&B is located in a very central position, a stone's throw from the city's main attractions and in the heart of the beautiful Oltrarno area: we had the opportunity to explore a lesser-known and more authentic Florence, made of narrow alleys and medieval houses. As for the accommodation, the studio is very charming, made even more fascinating by the renovation of some thirteenth-century parts. The only downside is the breakfast, it could be more abundant. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly! Highly recommended for a romantic weekend!

Abbiamo soggiornato 3 notti nel monolocale, super soddisfatti! Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo, la posizione è a due passi da palazzo Pitti e dal ponte vecchio. Se proprio devo fare una critica posso suggerire di inserire un tavolo per il pranzo un po' più grande, ma per il resto è davvero ottimo. Dotato di piano cottura, wifi, lavatrice, addirittura l'asciugacapelli. La proprietaria è gentilissima e sempre disponibile, la prossima volta che capiterò a Firenze, so già dove andare!

L'appartamento è in un palazzo antico, ma è ristrutturato con gusto e molto ben attrezzato; graditissimo il wi-fi, gentile e disponibile la proprietaria. La posizione è comoda per visitare Firenze a piedi, ci sono trattorie e negozi anche alimentari nelle vicinanze. Andrebbe forse migliorata un po' la cucina, ma nel complesso è un ottimo B&B, sicuramente da consigliare.
