Gorgeous Florence. Such a wonderful stay. I cannot find a single fault. This apartment is so thoughtfully designed and decorated - amazing beds, luxurious bathrooms (plus a powder room) and lots and lots of wardrobe space. We could easily have spent our entire 5 week holiday here. It is gloriously quiet even thought right beside Ponte Vecchio. Appreciated the restaurant suggestions and guidebooks. Nothing has been overlooked here and those incredible terraces. Even though it was winter we were on those terraces every day enjoying those views! Still wish I was there!

This was my first time renting an apartment from TripAdvisor and boy, did I get lucky. I loved this place and am going back again soon. The location is excellent-about 5 second walk to Ponte Vecchio. About 5-10 minutes across Ponte Vecchio to grocery store and shops and more in Oltrarno area. The lovely host-Karin was welcoming, explained everything to me and was helpful!

The apartment is two bedrooms, the pictures reflect it entirely. The outside little patio areas are incredible to see a good sunset or have coffee outside when the weather is nice. The building is safe and easy to get in and out of. There is a tiny elevator to get your luggage up to the 6th floor and then you walk up one flight of stairs to the 7th to the apt. It is centrally located and close to everything in Florence. You will feel very safe walking around.

I loved how the apartment is modern and clean. It is what I call a high tech apartment. I loved it and almost don't want to tell people about it, because then it will get booked a lot! :). I attached some photos and hope you will come across this gem in Florence like I did.

We stayed in this beautiful apartment with our three teenage boys for 4 days. This was our second time in Florence and we were looking for a location close to the Ponte Vecchio, This apartment was everything we were looking for and more! Fantastic location, we were able to walk everywhere. Karin, the owner was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and other tips. The apartment was beautifully renovated, with very upscale furnishings and beautiful marble baths. The view from the apartment terraces was spectacular,! We would definitely return! Sharon F.

This was our first visit to Florence and it won't be the last!

Before our arrival Karin, our host, sent us lots of information about the local attractions and restaurants. We didn't have to do any research ourselves. We just turned up and had a great time!

When we made the reservation the apartment looked amazing and we were not disappointed! It lived up to the description and the photographs and much more! We felt really at home there; it is luxurious and comfortable. And the views from the terraces are spectacular.

The location Is perfect too. Easy access to great shopping, restaurants and all the sightseeing this beautiful city has to offer.

All of us, myself, my husband and two friends, had a fantastic time and would not hesitate to recommend this city, and this apartment, to anyone thinking of visiting Florence.

Karin, thank you for making us feel so welcome and for all your help in making our trip so enjoyable.

Our family of 4 adults stayed in Casa Ventura for 4 nights in late May 2015 - it was our favorite apartment during our 2 weeks in a first time visit to Italy. The owner, Karin, was incredibly helpful and responsive during the booking and trip planning process as well as during our visit - she answered many questions about travel arrangements and recommended some great restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is furnished beautifully and is extremely clean. The 2 bedrooms were very comfortable. We needed to use the sofa couch in the living area which was a typical sofa couch - not very comfortable but served its purpose. The terrace areas are great for sitting outdoors during daytime and evening hours and the views of the city are stunning. We hope to return to Florence in the future and would enjoy staying in this lovely apartment again. Thank you for your hospitality, Karin!

My time in Florence this past August was magical but as with any vacation travel, where you go "home" to at the end of an evening plays a large role in your travel enjoyment. I must admit I was a bit nervous having never purchased and stayed at a vacation rental. To that end, it was my first trip to Italy and with all the unknowns of travelling abroad can bring, I consider myself very blessed and lucky to have found such a beautiful, relaxing, clean and convenient to all major attractions rental. Not too mention, the outstanding service I received from Karin really far exceeded my expectations. I had a million questions in advance from where to eat to where I could safely jog in the mornings. She responded quickly, professionally and made me feel like more of an old friend versus someone renting her unit. The rental itself...all I can say is WOW! The views from the roof top terrace, the bells ringing in the morning, all the quiet time spent lounging on the first floor terrace next to an olive tree plant...just made my experience and trip to Italy one I will remember for a lifetime. I look forward to spending time at Casa Ventura again and enjoying all the beauty, comfort and luxury that it affords! Thank you for sharing your lovely vacation rental Karin!
