Really great area of Florence in a nice bohemian neighborhood on the south side of the Arno River. Easy walk to nice cafes and restaurants locally - loved a nice pizza place a few blocks down the street and a nice Italian deli as well for excellent wine and good for dining in some evenings. This location is ideal for seeing the city and all the amazing highlights of Florence. Short walk down to the Ponte Vecchio and can cross the Arno at multiple bridges to get to all the major sites to see in the city. We took some day trips out of Florence to do some wine tasting and also Cinque Terre villages for an afternoon which was great as well. This location is really central to all you would want to do.
One warning for families with older adults who may have ambulatory issues or very young children- this apartment is on the top (4th) floor (amazing views) but has no lift / elevator and requires that you take (74) steps up and down every time you leave or return home - was good for our family except my mother in-law who was 70+ years old - it was a tough workout every day!
But - to be very clear - this was disclosed before we arrived and we had a lovely time at this apartment and we hope to rerun again on our next tour of Italy! For coffee lovers - try Giggli’s….
