Our family of 5 loved our stay at Palazzo Pitti, #22. It had been 28 years since my last visit to Florence where I enjoyed a semester of college studies and I was excited to visit again. Being able to write from a perspective of familiarity with the city, I can share with you that the location is excellent. Only a few hundred yards from The Ponte Vecchio and directly across the street from Palazzo Pitti and The Boboli Gardens, your a short walk away from other sites including Il Duomo, San Lorenzo Market, Piazzale Michelangelo, Palazzo Vecchio, Santa Croce, Ufizzi Gallery and l'acadamia (where you'll find Michelangelo's David). Florence is a very walkable city and this apartment makes for a great base camp. Piazza Santo Spirito is a short 4-6 minute walk away. If you want to sit and lounge and feel like a Fiorentine away from the tourist crowds, the entire neighborhood of Santo Spirito is a great place for that. L'Oltro Arno (the south side of the Arno River) is filled with local artisan craft shops and excellent small ristorante. I would much rather be in the Santo Spirito neighborhood than in the high traffic tourist areas. The apartment itself is clean and very modern. Though we did not cook, we enjoyed shopping like a local and picking up bread, Prosciutto, Salume, Cheeses and wine and making a Charcuterie board each afternoon. Every room had a double bed that sleeps 2. Our group of 5 had more than enough room. An added bonus was the washing machine and dryer. We were in Greece for a week before arriving to Florence and it was good to be able to wash clothes half way through our 2 week trip. From a value perspective, we enjoyed a big 4 bedroom apartment for the nightly equivalent of a large room at The Savoy or St. Regis which only sleeps 2. Located on the 3rd floor, there is a small, 2 person elevator which is helpful if you are traveling with people who cannot navigate stairs too well. We loved our stay and the hosts were great. Donatella and Erika were as responsive as a high end hotel concierge with recommendations for dinners, private tour guides and transportation. They even booked it all for us when requested.
