we stayed at this convenient apartment for 6 nights. Rosella the owner greeted us at the door ,showed us around and walked with us for a bit in the neighborhood pointing out the best bakery, grocery, and internet place. We were in the center colorado corporate travel of it all! Her friendliness continued :a bottle of wine to enjoy, coffee, and lots of wonderful art books to look at. The apartment was big enough for my husband and I and our daughter. She slept on a sofa bed downstairs. It was a typical 18th century atmosphere dark wood and smaller rooms. The bathroom and kitchen were updated and fine for our use. We were out all day long! It would have been nice if there was a radio or Ihome but Rosella is thinking about it. No worries about her add on of electricity. We only paid 5 euros for 6 nights! The restaurant suggested colorado corporate travel was good too and historical for artists and literary Italians since the 1800's! Again what a perfect location Uffizi colorado corporate travel and the oldest bridge Pointe Vecchio right there! And Rosella made making plans easy via her nice emails!
Sending deposit money through a wire transfer is never an easy thing to do on sight unseen property, but I'm so glad we did. This rental was a walk into another world, the world of Florence in centuries past. The charm and romance of it was worth far more than what we paid for our 6 day stay and the owner was lovely. She gave us an exhaustive list of everything in the neighborhood and it was well worth reading for her recommendations on everything from gelato, to convenience stores; I could have left my guidebook at home.
Florence is a great city to make daytrips from, but never affordable for that purpose until now with Uffizi Apartment. As a frequent traveler to Italy I have finally found the perfect home base for discovering more of Tuscany.
As a passionate cook, it was a thrill for me to be able to shop for a home made meal in Florence. Rossella also provided information on local stores and the large outdoor markets, so my cooking fantasy came true, but she also suggested Trattoria Antica Fattore just around the corner from the apartment and the food there was remarkably authentic and of excellent quality.
I cannot think of a better way to thank our hostess than to let other people know that this was one of the best travel experiences of my life; I hope to return for an even longer stays in the years to come. If the idea of a deposit for utilities is uncomfortable, don't worry, our cost was under 10 euros and the friend who suggested we rent it paid less than 15.
This beautiful apartment is literaly 2 minutes from the Uffizi. It combines old world charm with modern convenices - washing machine, lift etc. Rossella, the owner of this great apartment, is wonderful. She provides everything you need and more! She even printed out the weather report for the week we were there. We highly reccomend the Uffizi Apt.
