A Secret Escape in FLORENCE PONTE VECCHIO

Spacious and well organized, Casa Boccaccio offers up to six beds (one double bedroom, one bedroom with two single beds and a double sofa bed) and a delightful veranda to relax with family or friends.
Casa Boccaccio is located in the heart of Florence and in one of its most prestigious areas, inhabited by nobles and families well since ancient times, and is located inside a beautiful historic building opening the doors to those who want to experience the city absolutely only. The building, which takes its name from the hillside ("coast" in the Florentine tradition) dedicated to San Giorgio, is just Oltrarno, 30 meters from Ponte Vecchio and only 10 minutes walk from the Santa Maria Novella Station.

Great base for exploring Florence

This apartment is full of character and is close to the Ponte Vecchio and is in a more relaxed part of the city, yet close to everything. The AC is strong and there is laundry in the basement.

Property was spacious and close to areas we wanted to see but far enough away that it was quiet. Owner responded quickly to any questions. Having two bathrooms was convenient.

Great location, filthy apartment, rude host

The location was great. However, after the first night we realised that some of the pillows we had been using were disgusting. Large blood stains and brown from sweat, separated only by thin pillow slips and no pillow protectors. I notified the host who did nothing for 10 hours and when I followed up, gave me a rude reply with the phone number to contact the doorman to replace the pillows. At 10:30pm, new pillows arrived which was good, given the replacement pillow slips were so old and rotten they fell apart. The description is also not accurate. It is 2 bedroom, no views, the laundry is available but the machines are filthy.

Clean and Comfortable apartment

Nice apartment with private outdoor space. Short distance from the Ponte Vecchio up a little hill. Had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. Comfortable beds and living/ eating area. Washer dryer in the basement was a bonus. We parked our car in a paid garage nearby.

Cozy and quaint

There were 5 of us- 4 adults & a 14 yr old, who slept on the pull out sofa. They had clean sheets for the pull out, but only an old, dingy blanket for a coverlet/duvet. That was dissappointing. The sheets overall were also very rough- maybe 250 thread count. Patio would have been amazing to sit out on if it hadnt mostly rained. Otherwise, it was a bit tight for us all, but we only stayed 2 nights so it worked short term.

Great Location and King Size Beds

Perfect location within walking distance of the major sights, The apartment is located in a building from the 1700’s, so it’s quirky. The kitchen is tiny but functional, gas range. The patio is nice and opens out from the back bedroom. There was room to hang clothes. The showers was small, but the hot water was plentiful. The host let us check in a bit early and leave our luggage for a bit after we checked out. Trash was inconvenient, it had to be taken down the street down three sets of stairs. It is best to take it down when you are leaving the house to sightsee for the day. Grocery store and restaurants are close by. The apartment was comfortable and the beds were great.

We were very happy staying in this apartment. It was a nice, cool refuge from the heat of August. The location was perfect. A quiet area just across the Ponte Vecchio.

Très bien situé ! Un peu sombre

Nous avons passé un bon séjour. Appartement super bien situé, proche des commodités, des musées et du centre ville animé. Terrasse sympa. Climatisation c'est appréciable en août. Quelques bémols : l'appartement est sombre. Le propriétaire a dû intervenir pour remettre un wifi performant.
