A part of history

This was nowhere near a run of the mill location. It felt more like living history and was the immersion into the area I know we would never have found anywhere else. The lower mark for checking in was mainly the challenges of cell service, but we made it. We've been gushing about the experience and how it added to our overall stay since our return.

Amazing location very historical

The location in the Ponte Vecchio bridge near is the best location for touring the town. Interesting architecture and antiques inside. Only issue is amenities - not much in the kitchen - tiny mocha pot - no glasses - no real plates- no soap in bathroom. Hot water was an issue on arrival but was resolved by host quickly.

An Incredible and Unique Gem in Florence

All I can say is staying here is as surreal as it gets. We were literally in the Ponte Vecchio bridge. What a treat to be able to stay in such a historical location. If you have the chance to stay here, take it. You're close to everything and the energy is fantastic. Enjoy!

Great property

The apartment was as described and a great value. It is right on the heart of probably the busiest intersection in the city, make sure you are OK with the traffic and noise. Otherwise the view and ease of getting around is awesome. Very accommodating meeting us late at night as our flight was delayed. A+++

Location is fabulous and view from living room is lovely. There is no a/c in the bedroom but if you open the windows it’s really loud plus the mosquitos were awful. Bought 2 cans of bug spray and still got bites all over. Would like property more in winter.

It's Italy

Terrific location. The bedroom is not airconditioned. The living room has a floor unit that cools a little bit. The shower/tub is small and dangerous. Nothing to hang onto and have to bend over and step down into tub/shower. Needs a seat and handrail. Wonderful place, bathing arrangements easy to fix, have to be fixed. Very misleading to say it's air conditioned. Really enjoyed! Honest description would have been helpful

Fantastic Unique stay on the Ponte Vecchio

This was one of the most unique and pleasant stays I’ve experienced on any trip. The room was right on the Ponte Vecchio. The bedroom window overlooking the bridge itself and the living room French doors overlooking the Arno. The view was beautiful and unique. If you ever watched the movie A Room With a View, you are right there. The building is centuries old and because of that very well insulated and interesting with arched ceilings and interesting architecture. Because of the building’s age there a few minor idiosyncrasies in the modernization of the room, but these added to its character and charm. All in all we absolutely loved our stay here. The location and atmosphere were amazing!

Most Historically Authentic (but more convenient) Place I've ever Stayed

Every time we walked through the exterior door and up the concrete steps we were delighted. We pondered what the space may have been used for centuries before. The location was excellent and we laughed more than one night as we heard newly arriving visitors to the city arguing about directions on the bridge. The view across the river is magical and was the source of additional musings of the "secret passage," The Vasari Corridor that runs above the bridge. We felt completely immersed in history with our 16th century hair because of the bathroom water pressure, LOL. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your space with us Stefania.

Ponte Vecchio

This location was amazing. Out one window is the Ponte Vecchio River and out the other is right on the bridge (bring earplugs). That aspect is a dream! The communication was great. The host responded quickly. The decor was eclectic and quirky and certainly matched the age of the location. So cute. I wish there was some attention to detail with the inside. Stained rugs, peeling wallpaper. We had to buy toilet paper, there were no garbage bags and no written instructions about wifi, garbage, burners/gas.

Amazing location and spacious

What could be more amazing than staying ON the Ponte Vecchio! This spacious apartment is special. As others have said, this is a old and quirky property, but it wears those traits well. Note that the kitchen is quite small (so small that the refrigerator is tucked away in another room), but there is a nice, large dining table looking right out to the Arno. The bed is extremely comfortable. The apartment's decor charming and adds to the romance. Contact with the host was pleasant and efficient. If you are looking for an ultra-clean, sleek modern stay, this is not the place for you. But, if you are looking for a unique, memorable stay, don't hesitate to book. We loved our time there.

Great Location!

The best aspects of this apartment are the central location, and the view of the water from the den. There is sufficient space throughout the apartment, although the bathroom and kitchen are quite small. But you are right in the middle of the Florence action - with a full grocery right across the street. Countless cafes, shops, and restaurants right as you exit the apartment. Only one flight of stairs, so not bad at all. The only notable downside is that since you are located in the middle of the action, it is very loud well past midnight - every day. So be sure to bring a new set of earplugs, otherwise getting to sleep could be an issue. But we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would gladly stay again!

Better Communication Needed

The apartment is an interesting place in a super location. We can stay in a modern American style hotel anytime so this location was a good change of pace. The check-in was problematic in that we 1) needed a better explanation of where to find the door 2) the owners daughter sent us a wrong picture of the lock safe so it took several calls to get into the apartment and 3) we couldn’t get out of the building easily as the building knob had fallen off. They fixed it in two days though it was a hazard in the event of an emergency. There was no kitchen linen so we used a hand towel and virtually no soap in the kitchen or bathroom. Lastly, bring bug spray if you are susceptible to mosquito bites. We left the windows open the first night as it was so beautiful. That’s a mistake on our part. A few more supplies and better communication would make all the difference here.

History Come to Life

Before this stay, I didn't even know that people could live/stay ON/in the Ponte Vecchio! This immensely charming apartment not only has unparalleled views of the Palazzo Vecchio Tower and the picturesque outside of the bridge itself, but the bedroom window looks directly onto the Ponte Vecchio, right over a jewelry store below! The apartment was richly decorated with Italian antiques, and we felt like we had stepped into historical Florence--it was incredible! Note for future visitors: there are low ceilings (even at 5' 2" I ran into an arch a time or two) and the layout of the apartment is quite unusual (all due to it being an original, historic property), so keep that in mind. Also, the mosquitoes are fierce right near the river, even when we were there in November. Lastly, while it was absolutely a perfect set-up for my husband and I as it felt more authentic, this place is not set up as a luxury stay, so don't expect highly modern appliances/lighting/plumbing, etc. While it could use some updating here and there, everything is functional if somewhat outdated (I can only imagine how hard/expensive and a serious undertaking it would be to modernize the space within such an original and historic building framework!!). WE LOVED this place and hope that it stays a hidden gem so that we can afford to stay here again in the future!
