We just returned from a week's holiday in Ferenze. When you speak of location, location, the apartment owned by Paola and Martina in Ferenze is your spot. Located on the Arno River at the base of the bridge could not have been a better choice.
Paola met us at the apartment as planned. She explained things about the place, spoke about the gelato and pastry shops below and the close by restaurants. She also had maps for our use and a table stocked with informational stuff.
The place is as described with a nice bed, large shower and a fully appointed kitchen. Lots of space in the apartment, with great Wi-Fi and a balcony that's perfect for drinking a cocktail or many glasses of wine, which we did.
The bar across the street can get loud on Friday so be prepared to use your ear plugs, unless you are part of the crowd:-). The bedroom is in the rear and you can close the doors. Other than that, the flat is awesome!
You're away from the tourists buzz but close enough to get anywhere on foot within minutes. The train station is a 15 minute walk, so pack lightly as you really only need comfortable shoes and enough clothes to get by as the washer works great. Restaurants abound on the next street and the Ponte Vecchio is two bridges away.
Terrific host, great spacious flat and you're in Ferenze! What more could you ask for? Thank you Paola and Martina for making us feel very welcome in your flat. We shall return. Ciao!
