Absolutely the BEST owner in Firenze
Gianfranco and Cinzia were the consumate owners and landlords. From the moment we checked into the apartment to the arrivederci in front of our taxi to the airport, they were incredibly attentive to our wants and needs. The apartment is completely furnish, is very comfortable and spacious. It is airy with excellent cross ventilation. There were a few moments when we needed to contact them and they were immediately responsive. The apartment is located in San Nicolò, close to the Arno and the Ponte Grazie, within walking distance of centro yet far from the crowds of tourists. We felt welcomed in the neighbor, to the point that the barista in the cafe where we took coffee every morning made our usual coffee drinks and had them in the bar. We had a wonderful time in the apartment and in the neighborhood. HIGHLY recommend this property and owners!

Wonderful Find!
This was my first experience with VRBO and renting an apartment and it turned out great! I spent two months in Florence and this was the ideal location, close to Ponte Vecchio and sights but on Oltrarno side ( better side in my opinion.) Hosts Gianfranco and Cinzia are wonderful people: kind, accommodating and extremely helpful. Highly recommend.

Amazing apartment in the perfect location with very accommodating hosts.
We spent a month in Gianfranco and Cinzia's apartment #2D. The apartment is very well equipped with everything we needed for the month. We loved their Tuscan-style kitchen and had everything we needed to occasionally cook in. It even had a full size refrigerator and freezer. The apartment is bright, clean and located just over the Ponte alle Grazie bridge. The location was perfect; an easy walk to everything, but far away from all of the tourists to be quiet. We loved walking to the restaurants and daily market in San Spirito. Gianfranco, Cinzia and their sons are extremely accommodating. Gianfranco even got up at 4am to make sure our taxi arrived in time to get us to the airport. We felt right at home and pray we can return in the future! Highly recommended!

Perfect Location and Lovely Owners! Planning to Book Again
This apartment is a gem for several reasons. The owners are most welcoming and helpful! From the moment we arrived they ensured our needs were met. Gianfranco and his son met us on our arrival and helped with the luggage. They showed us everything and we settled in. The apartment is very clean and has all of the basics and more. The location is super and it is easy to navigate around this beautiful city from there. I am hoping to return. It was nice to have an elevator after a day of sightseeing. Thank you to the Rosati’s for helping make our vacation so comfortable.

Great location and great hosts
We stayed in Florence for six weeks and our time at the Rosati Vacation rental was wonderful. Gianfranco and Cinzia were there to greet us, even with our late night arrival, were responsive to any questions or needs we had, and we enjoyed our various conversations with them. It was an easy walk across the river to any sites we wanted to see, comfortable for those days we wanted to stay home, and away from the main crush of tourist noise. There is an abundance of restaurants, shops, bars, tabacchi, and shops close at hand. We plan to return and will stay there when we do return to Florence.

Great location, apartment and hosts
A friend and I stayed in this apartment for a week and had a wonderful time. The space is large, stays cool (even during hot days), and is close to everything in the Oltrarno and a short walk from all of the major attractions across the river. Gianfranco, Cinzia and family were great hosts and the apartment was very clean and well-equipped with everything we would need. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends looking for a fun neighborhood experience in Florence. It can be a bit noisy so if you are a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs. If you are considering a vacation rental in Florence this is a great one!

Great apartment!
We were a group of 4 and we had a great stay in this apartment. The owners were great to work with before our stay and they were extremely helpful during our stay. They were gracious when we arrived and surprised us with welcome wine and other drinks. They also helped arrange transportation to the train station. It was a great location close to restaurants, gelato, grocery store and Ponte Vecchio. Highly recommend.

Should be 20 stars!!
This is a family owned place and they treat you like family. Place is HUGE, updated, spotlessly clean, a/c really works!!, washer/ dryer a must for us since we did carry on. On 3rd floor, could see top of Dumo, there is a lift. Bed is those foams beds that don't hurt your shoulders and hips if you're a side sleeper. Most beds in Italy have been very hard. Very convenient location. David was the furthest and it was a mile. We walked there from train station, too If you are not used to city sounds, bring earplugs to sleep. The shutters block ALL light if you shut both sets. We never tuned in TV. Wifi was great. Ohhhhhh, Gianfranco even went to all the work to print out maps, in color, of the area. Much easier to use than phone He had agendas " if here 1 day do this in this order".... " if here 2 days do this in this order".... would have saved me hours of research. He had maps to their favorite eating and shopping stores. About the only thing you had to do is buy your own tour tickets. Firenze card is the best if there for 72hrs. But, you must make reservation to climb Dumo. Make reservation way in advance. I can't say enough. This place is a sure bet in a foreign land. I am from Midwest, USA. Terri
