Description
Waterfront Florence apartments in Oltrarno, walk to Ponte Vecchio
Location.
The apartment is 60 meters from the Ponte Vecchio or Old Bridge, one of the most famous Florentine landmarks, and looks directly onto the river Arno. On the opposite bank of the river is the Uffizi museum complex and the famous Vasari Corridor, which connects the Palazzo Vecchio to the Uffizi and across the Ponte Vecchio to the Pitti Palace.
Across the road is a perfectly furnished small supermarket and all around there are excellent restaurants, cafés, wine bars, fashion shops and artisans’ workshops. With just a few minutes’ walk, you can reach all the principal monuments and museums, including the Uffizi museum; the Palazzo Pitti museums and the Boboli gardens; the Piazza della Signoria with the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio as well as the Duomo or Cathedral. You can also stroll along the riverbanks admiring the city and the surrounding hills.
About the apartment.
The 'Ponte Vecchio relax' apartment is on the 2nd floor of a recently fully refurbished building with all the windows overlooking the river Arno. It has two rooms plus a spacious bathroom for a total area of approximately 400 sq. ft.
As all the windows look onto the river and none face the street, the apartment is extremely silent even when the windows are left open. It is served by a newly installed elevator and each room has central heating and air conditioning. Furthermore the floor is entirely in oak parquet except for the bathroom where the use of tiles has been preferred.
When you enter the apartment there is a small hall and to the left you access the ample bedroom with a king size double bed. From the centre of the hall you enter the large bathroom equipped with a shower and where you will also find the washing machine. On the opposite side of the hall from the bedroom you find the living room with an equipped kitchen that can be closed out of sight when not used. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave oven; an under counter refrigerator; a dishwasher and a two fire induction hob. A toaster and coffee pot are also present. In the living room the comfortable sofa can be opened up to reveal a sofa double bed.
Air-conditioned accommodations at this apartment offer coffee/tea makers and hair dryers. Guests can surf the web using the complimentary wireless Internet access. Kitchens offer refrigerators, stovetops, microwaves, and cookware/dishes/utensils.

Outstanding location. Very clean and comfortable place. Highly recommend it. Beware transportation is extremely difficult(impossible) when you need to check out. I would give 5 stars but communication with host was not possible. A very nice lady that was neighbor to us helped us out.

Beautiful location - excellent place to stay
Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay - beside the Arno with an incredible view of the Ponte Vecchio. Perfect for a couple or for 2 people with a pull out sofa.Very clean and very well maintained - Centrally located - and the 'management' was incredibly helpful and friendly. Would stay again in a second!

Our plan was to secure a well located and comfortable flat (apartment) in Florence and live there for three weeks. Unpack, settle in and come and go as we would if we lived there. This worked so well and we were delighted with our stay. In fact the flat was a highlight of the trip. So well located, stunning views of the Ponte Vecchio and the constant movement of happenings on the Arno River. As a family closely associated with the sport of rowing we were delighted in seeing so much activity with the rowing club opposite. The flat was perfectly arranged and all facilities were available . Comfortable, and tastefully furnished. The kitchenette was quite adequate and well provided with implements. The large double bed was superbly comfortable. We were hosted graciously, welcomed, and made to feel that assistance was always available. A lovely flat, superbly located with access to the old part of Florence. Restaurants close at hand as are the antiquities of the city.

Great location
This unit is a quick walk across the bridge to where all the action is. Still when laying in bed with window open we could hear the lovely musical acts that perform on the bridge. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Would choose it again!
We really enjoyed our stay once the bumpy initial process of checking in was over. There must have been miscommunication with the host initially, because we waited on the street outside the apartment for around 45 minutes. However, once inside, our host's mother-in-law, Migi was delightful and calmed my husband's temper with her charm. The apartment was everything we hoped for and the VIEW! Wow, we kept the windows open as much as possible for the ambient sounds from the area, the music one could hear in the evening, and for the view of the Ponte Vecchio right outside our window. The kitchen was perfect. The shower was a bit small by our standards, but serviceable. The bed was a bit soft and wobbly and would be my only complaint about the apartment. There were a few light bulbs out and we requested that one be replaced, which it promptly was. The elevator in the complex was prompt and very convenient to the apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay here again! Love Florence, loved Migi!
