Just returned from an 8 night stay in Luca's apartment ON the Ponte Vecchio with a stunning view of the Arno. Each evening my friend and I would have aperitifs looking out of our window at the rowers on the river below us. The location was perfect! We got to know the man at the giornali stand and the barristers across the street where we had cappuccino each morning. We shopped at the grocery store across the street and ate made-to-order panini from the place across the street. We LOVED being in the heart of Florence in an apartment where we could cook for an affordable price. We were in walking distance from the train station, the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, and the Pitti Palace. The rooms were neat and clean, and we enjoyed our stay so much! Really, this is the perfect place to stay in Florence, a city you never grow tired of. Thank you, Luca and Giulio.
