Lovely flat in historic building and neighborhood. Charming owner, very easy communication. She gave us plenty of good advises. Thank you very much, Roberta.
Unbelievably beautiful courtyard leads you to a lovely apartment with arched ceilings and wonderful character. The kitchen and bathroom are very spacious. The living room if comfortable and inviting. The bedrooms are a bit small but the beds are comfortable (all you need for a good nightâs sleep). The apartment was immaculate. The owner was lovely. Check in was easy and she showed us how things in the apartment worked. She had a book that had helpful information including good restaurants in the neighborhood.Although everything about the apartment was great, the best part of this rental is the location. You turn one corner and yourself on a street full of restaurants and stores, you turn right and walk one block and youâre at the Arno River. You turn left and walk 2 blocks and youâre at the Basilica of Santa Croce. The location is just perfect.I would highly recommend this rental if you want to be in the heart of Florence in a beautiful, comfortable and clean apartment.
This was one of the best apartments we have ever stayed in. It was beautiful, spacious, and ideally located. Roberta was friendly and very helpful. We couldnât have asked for a better place. It made our time in Firenze even more wonderful!
All communication with Roberta was quick and helpful. The apartment is right in the centre of the main landmarks of the city, very close to the river. Everything was easy walking distance, yet in a quiet area. The apartment is very comfortable and well stocked with anything you may have forgotten to bring. The ceiling is beautiful and the building is from the 1500s. Would highly recommend.
As with other reviewers, I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was. My friend had never stayed in a VRBO before; she has now said she would never stay in a hotel again on trips like ours.Roberta got in touch with us shortly after booking -- which was about three mo in advance -- with some additional, detailed information, which also let us know that we were on her radar; sometimes I tend to stress about whether a reservation has actually gotten to the host. She promptly responded to questions we had in the interim. She contacted us again just before we arrived, to confirm what time we would like to check in, then met us in person. She has compiled a "house book" with everything from manual pages for using the washing machine to top recommendations for local gelaterias, which was incredibly helpful.The apartment itself was more spacious than we'd expected, with a complete kitchen, washer, dishwasher, coffeemaker, and had ample closet space, a lot of hangers and a large, collapsible clothes-drying rack. It is ideally located -- 5 min walk to Santa Croce and a supermarket; maybe 12-15 to the Duomo; about the same to Ponte Vecchio; 2 min to a street with a lot of small shops, restaurants, and a very good gelateria. Even though it is on a busy street, the windows face either over the courtyard or over a side street, so it was quiet; we had no trouble sleeping.If I'm ever lucky enough to make it back to Florence, this is where I'll stay. Grazie mille, Roberta!
We enjoyed the location of the property, five minute walk to the Arno river. There was a spectacular courtyard as soon as you walked into the property. Only one flight of stairs to carry suitcases. Having air conditioning was welcomed when staying in July. Only negative was to access one of the bedrooms, you had to enter via the bathroom (which if someone was using,not possible) or enter through the other bedroom. Nowhere to open out a suitcase in either bedroom.
The property is amazing. They had everything we could have possibly needed. It was very clean and comfortable. Roberta was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend. La Buchetta just downstairs outside was lovely as well.
Great location. Easy to get to anywhere in Florence.
We stayed here for 9 days and everything was as described. Easy check in and clear instructions for checking out. We came in by train and the cab ride was 20 euros. We only had to use taxis 3 times. Going to train station twice and once for an early morning tour. Highly recommend.
The apartment is a great choice. The location is perfect, a close walk to so many points of interest, places to eat or purchase food. All of rooms are very clean with lovely architectural details. Modern kitchen and bath! Check in and out was very easy. Price is good for what you get. Excellent host communication.
Amazing location and property, exactly as how you see it in the pictures. Roberta was responsive to any questions and was there to meet us on arrival to the apartment. Would definitely recommend this place
Absolutely LOVED this apartment ! The remodel was well done on this 1600âs building.All the convenience of a modern apartment in a well maintained historic building . The location is perfect for walking to all our destinations, yet we felt more like a local in our neighborhood and not a tourist in the crowds . Would highly recommend & would stay there again .
Roberta was an excellent host. She went out of her way when our flight was delayed to still be there for us at check in. The place is exactly like advertised and its location made it perfect to explore the city on foot. We read the other reviews too and there was some excellent information within them to make our stay even smoother.
Lovely apartment in great neighborhood for sightseeing. Loved the intimate Horne museum across the street, which we wouldnât have visited otherwise. Roberta was very accommodating re: our arrival time and luggage storage the day we left.
This is the second time weâve stayed at palazzo Bardi, with Roberta as our host. We stayed for a total of seven nights perfect amount for seeing the sites of Florence.Roberta was available and accommodating to all of our needs. We were able to message her and get replies almost immediately. There was very little to contact her about. The apartment is beautiful with painted star ceilings
We had such a wonderful time, in such a beautiful location. It was so close to every wonderful thing to experience in Florence (Ufizzi, Piazza Michelangelo, Ponte Vecchio). The moment upon seeing the apartment garners and immediate "Ohh wow!" response. Brunelleschi nailed it! Wonderful stay at an amazing apartment! Can't wait to return some awesome day!
An absolutely wonderful apartment in a building designed by Brunelleschi in the 15 th century. Perfect location near the Uffizi. Wonderful restaurants within a short walk. Highly recommended
Roberta was great. She was very responsive and considerate and helped with anything we asked for. My husband didnât love the location at first but then it grew on us. The restaurant in the building was great too and told us about the history of the building which helped us to really appreciate the apartment and the building even more.
