- 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.

A good experience.

It was extremely spacious.

The steps leading to the bedroom and bathroom are a bit treacherous. It's important to take extra care in the dark.

Only needed facecloths.

Overall:
We loved the location. The apartment was very comfortable and had all the amenities.
Enjoyed Most:
The history behind the building was awe inspiring. The large windows and the detailed ceilings are glimpses of this history.
Enjoyed Least:
We loved everything about our experience.
Surrounding Area:
The closeness of the city centre, restaurants and the security of the premises.
Tips or Restaurants:
All restaurants around the area had great food. Garbos around the corner was very nice. The apartment had all the basics, including items to make a basic pasta meal.
Directions:
Taxi ride is 5 mins from the train station. If you do not have much luggage it's not too far to walk.

Overall:
Perfect, this was an amazing villa.
Enjoyed Most:
Love the open space and the decor.
Enjoyed Least:
The view, however, with the buildings so close I don't think you can really get a good view.
Surrounding Area:
It was the perfect location, not too crazy, and within blocks of everything.
Nearby Events or Locales:
We walked everywhere.
Tips or Restaurants:
If you really want a facecloth, bring one, none of our hotels in Italy had any.
