- About The Experience
-
100 meters from the Arno, this large apartment in Florence with traditional terracotta floors and wooden ceilings will put you within walking distance of all the major sights. Curl up on the couch of your Florence rental apartment with a cup of tea and a book after a long day of sightseeing (and, of course, shopping).
- Location Description
-
The Florence apartment building is located in the Santo Spirito neighborhood in the Oltrarno district, only 100 meters from the Arno River. The apartment is 4 blocks west of the Ponte Vecchio and near the Piazza Santo Spirito, which is characterized by a large number of traditional Italian craft shops and artist studios. There are many shops and restaurants nearby.
Nearby Attractions: The Oltrarno is the area of Florence that is south of the Arno River. While it contains some of the most famous and characteristic Renaissance buildings, it is also a quarter known for authentic flavor. Here you will find the Santo Spirito Church designed by Brunelleschi, the Santa Maria del Carmine Church with its famous Brancacci Chapel containing Masaccio’s exquisite frescoes, and the Palazzo Pitti. There are magnificent views of Florence from the Forte Belvedere and Piazzale Michelangelo, a prime destination for a gelato or glass of wine while watching the sunset. For those who like quirky, a visit to La Specola Museum, with wax anatomical models from the 18th century, is sure to fascinate. In addition to all of this, the quarter has many fine restaurants and shops, as well as an open-air market in the Piazza Santo Spirito.

Overall:
We had a great time in Florence. This property is so centrally located we could walk to everything. We shopped at small local stores for wine, cheese, meat and vegetables and cooked at the property.
Enjoyed Most:
The location. You really could walk to markets, restaurants and most tourist sites like the Duomo. We also appreciated having accessibility to the Internet and cable TV.
Enjoyed Least:
The traffic noise. This property is located on the street side of the apartment complex and even though it is upstairs, it's noisy. It is a bit dark in the entrance way heading up to the apartment. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable, however, the sofa bed was not.
Surrounding Area:
This property is so centrally located. There are many good restaurants, markets, and tourist sites close by.

We found the entry to the apartment, and the apartment itself, to be dark, especially at night.

There are many, many restaurants within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
We would bring coffee.
