Great Florence Apartment

The location is fantastic, close enough to walk to everything and still on a quiet street. The host met us upon arrival and explained the apartment thoroughly, and there was also a guide book in English to things like appliances and water.Overall, just a great visit and our family enjoyed being able to stay here.

Great location

Fantastic location in Florence. Just across the Arno and walkable to all of the major sites. Great communication with the hostess. We liked the cafe on the back side of the building right on the river for breakfast and ate at restaurants on this same block twice. Really enjoyed this property.

Felt Like Home!

My four friends and I enjoyed our stay in this spacious, bright, clean apartment. The location is a quiet neighborhood with restaurants, bakeries, and the best gelato in Florence. It is a short walk to everything. The apartment has very comfortable beds, pillows and soft linen. The kitchen is lovely as are the bathrooms. Our host was responsive to our questions. If you’re lucky enough to book a stay here you won’t be disappointed.

Spectacular flat in Florence

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the historic Soderi Palace apartment in the authentic and convenient Oltrano neighborhood just across the Arno River from all the major sites in Florence. The air conditioning, elevator, and washing machine were much appreciated amenities.

Nice location

Soderini Palace is in a great location The cleanliness of the apartment was not to my standard. Lots of dust on the headboards, the light switches were very dirty, the shower could have been scrubbed better including kitchen The location of the parking garage is not ideal nor easy to find Very minimal items in kitchen! Beds comfortable, excellent AC, and beautiful decor Thank you

Beautiful, convenient location

Gianni was extremely accommodating and welcoming. Our check in and out could not have been easier. The apartment is beautiful, elegant and very spacious. Clean and well stocked. Modern kitchen and bathrooms with traditional Italian charm. Don’t miss the gelato on the corner (steps away) and the pizza downstairs at Dante’s is great for late night snack, or any other time. Location is central but also quiet. 1 minute walk from Arno.

Family Vacation

Our family was greeted promptly and was shown around the apartment. The first thing we noticed was a strong smell. We were very unsure what it was but it was not pleasant. We later discovered that food was prepared in the kitchen and by the next day, the smell was gone. The bathroom showers did have mold in them and one bathroom had mold on the wall just outside the shower. The apartment was very dusty, dust bunnies were floating around from the moment we arrived. The location was a little further from the river than I thought but overall not horrible. I was grateful to have the lift. However the stair case is wide in case you need to carry anything up. Overall, it was ok.

Very Roomy Flat

Very large flat given it's in a historical building in Florence. The VRBO description of the interior was as described. The pin for the location was off though and the flat is on the south side of the river so plan an extra 5 min walk for all of the places to see on the north side. There are great little places to eat around the area including a fabulous Gelato place and a great restaurant named Nero.

Nice Florence Apartment

Our stay here was wonderful. Communication with the host was easy and fast. The apartment was clean and bright. WIFI worked very well. The location is great. Everything is within walking distance. The biggest challenge was loading and unloading the car. The street out front is very narrow and busy. We had to park around the corner. But it was a short walk and not difficult at all. Florence is amazing, and this is an excellent place to stay.

Loved it!

I didn't realize how nice it would be to be away from the touristy crowds. Being across in the river is so lovely. Fun the wander these streets and find amazing shops and bakeries. And thank you to the other reviewer who mentioned the nearby wine window - that was fun! Very easy to just walk across the bridge to be at all the spots on your to do list. The apartment is very spacious and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved the location

we came to Florence to visit our daughter who was studying there. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment was quiet. Location is good, a short walk across the river to get to the main Florence attractions like the Duomo and the Uffuzi, and on the same side of the river from the Plaza Michaelangelo and Plaza Vecchio. We had a couple of great meals at il Santo Bevitore which is less than a block away and the gelato around the corner was one of my daughter's favorite places in Florence (she has tasted many!). Coming in the hosts were very helpful in troubleshooting some transportation difficulties we had. Overall a great stay in Florence!
