Garden house from the 15th century near the Ponte Vecchio

Just steps away from the Ponte Vecchio, on the “Oltrarno” side of the historic center of Florence, this lovely and elegant home provides all of the comforts of the modern world combined with the rich history of the 15th Century.

This home used to be the 'Forni Reali' or royal bakery serving the Medici and later the Italian royal family when they occupied the Palazzo Pitti. It comprises 130 square meters (approx. 1,399 sq. ft), and has 3 bedrooms, each with private bathroom, a large living room and fully-equipped modern kitchen, small study and additional half bath. The apartment sleeps 6-8 people, and wraps around a lovely courtyard garden adorned with flowers, fountain and goldfish. Decorated both for comfort and charm, the home contains an eclectic mix of antiques and modern furniture.

The apartment has its own separate entrance on the ground floor, only one step up from the street, and is equipped with all necessary amenities, including central heat and air conditioning, satellite t.v. and DVD/VCR player, Internet connection, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, and washing machine. One of the owners is an artist who splits his time between Florence and New York City, and many of his original artworks are exhibited in the home, including large oil paintings in the living room, and frescoes in the bedroom.

The apartment is located on a pedestrian-only street just off a charming piazza. There you will find a famous restaurant and delightful cafe. Just 3-4 minutes away you will find the Ponte Vecchio, and you can walk to the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria in 5-10 minutes. A parking garage is located 1 minute away, and local bus stops servicing all parts of the city are also just minutes away.

Perfect stay!

We had a group of 6, the place was perfect. Loved the layout, every bedroom felt very private with the different entrances and bathrooms. We had a problem with the lock on the main door, but the manager was terrific, responded right away & was there to help really fast. We would highly recommend this place to groups!

I loved the place. The fact that is set up in an old bakery is amazing. Loved the oven, added so much character to the house. Also, everything was clean, and in working order. Location is amazing, in the middle if everything. I know my next Florence vacation willl be scheduled when the house is available.

Authentic Florentine Experience

We very much enjoyed our stay. Genta was very helpful and friendly. Everything was a short walk from the apartment. The apartment had a great old world feel to it, but was very comfortable and renovated. There was plenty of space for our family of five. The adjacent cafe and eateries provided a very festive environment. We would stay here again if we return to Florence. Thank you for all the wonderful memories!

Exceptional location

Very good design apartment with few steps for three groups of adult family/friends with a bath attached to each bedroom, a large common area and private outdoor patio. We could not be happier with the service of the local hostess who set us up with a private driver for a wine day in Tuscany and suggested her favorite bakery. The apartment is just steps away from great places for your morning espresso, lunch panini, apertivo, and evening meal. If you want to ‘live like a local’ while in Florence, stay in this neighborhood.

Wonderful Place in the Heart of Santo Spirito

Pros-Prime location in Santo Spirito within walking distance of all Florence has to offer. Fascinating older building split into "mini-apartments" with a connecting central courtyard. Aircon worked well during hot Florence days (90's). Plenty of towels, sheets, and other essentials provided. Cons-Steep step upon entry could be a challenging for the elderly or disabled. If arriving by car, parking is necessary and expensive, and you can't drop off luggage before parking (streets are too narrow and busy with pedestrians and cars) so you have to wheel it a few blocks. You could look through the material covering the door of one of the bedrooms when the lights were on, limiting privacy.

We’d stay here again

We were 4 adults over the age of 65 and stayed a week in December. Having an apartment on the ground floor was nice. The neighborhood was lovely, quiet and convenient. The gelato shop a few doors down was 5 ⭐️! The apartment was spacious, the kitchen was well equipped and updated but overall, I’d describe the apartment as tired. It must be noted that the third bedroom is unattached from the rest of the apartment and across the courtyard. It would be rather cramped for two people. With the other 2 bedrooms, you must pass through one to get to the other, unless you exit through the courtyard. Having 3 1/2 baths was great although the shower-head in the hall bathroom was wonky. The heat was intermittent and being December, we found it a bit chilly. Communication with the host was good, check in was with a lock box, we never saw anyone when arriving or parting, which is not my preference. But response time to question was prompt and friendly. I have stayed in 10 different apartments throughout Florence, some modern in decor and updates, others, with a more original feel. There are always pluses and minuses with any apartment. This apartment has an old world feel, accommodated us well, and we enjoyed ourselves. All that being said, we would stay here again.

Three Generations

The property is in an extraordinarily convenient and charming area. I think it is best characterized as “rustic.” Due to its location, charm, and amenable and helpful host I rate the property as excellent. However, it is important to note that the configuration of the bedrooms and the size of the beds does not realistically sleep seven people as listed on the website. Our group consisted of my wife and I, my daughter and son-in-law, their 13 month old son, and my 35 year old son. The master bedroom is quite large and comfortable with a queen size bed, and plenty room for a crib or single cot that is provided with property. Not easily discerned by the listing is that the other two bedrooms have double beds that are not comfortable for two people to sleep in long-term. Our visit was for 16 days so we utilized the cot in our sleeping arrangements. Also useful to know upfront is that the master bedroom is the only bedroom with direct access to the living room and kitchen. One of the other bedrooms requires walking through the master or walking outside through the court. to access the kitchen and living room. The third bedroom is detached and requires walking across the courtyard in every circumstance. Again, not an overriding factor for what is a terrific property, but something worth knowing so that guests can pack slippers for the frequent walk across the courtyard. Realistically the property is ideal for a couple and two children or single adults.

Perfect Location

This location was beyond perfect. The neighborhood feels less touristy than others and some of the best gelato and sandwich shops are right on the square. It was unbelievably hot when we were there and the AC was perfect with the exception of the detached room. We didnt end up using it but the AC was less powerful in there so it was quite hot. Either way, wouldn’t deter us from staying again!
