My two sisters and I spent six days in this beautiful apartment across from the Pitti Palace in the Oltrarno district of Florence. We found the accommodations to be ideal for us, spacious and elegant, yet very comfortable and affordable. The kitchen was well-appointed, and we had everything we needed. Above all, the location is hard to beat. One can easily walk to the major sites in town, and there is a bus stop in Piazza S. Felice right nearby. Having such a comfortable place to return to at the end of each day of touring was a pleasure. We also enjoyed mornings and evenings on the terrace.
As a poet, I was happy to learn that the apartment is in the building where Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her husband Robert once lived. In fact, there is a historical plaque above the entry door honoring Elizabeth for forging with her poems a golden ring between England and Italy.
We highly recommend apartment to other friends and travelers, and hope to return one day soon. One word of advice to future guests: be sure to get instructions from Caterina about operating the locks. Two of these proved rather temperamental (though they yielded to patience and persistence).
