The best in Florence
Classic building, central location, perfect spacious air conditioned apartment, and the most hospitable hosts we have ever enjoyed. Cynthia & Gianfranco (and family) went way out of their way, starting long before we arrived, to make us feel at Home! We could not have chosen wiser! Look no further if you want a true Florentine experience.

Spacious apartment, well located, excellent host!
We traveled as a family, 4 adults and a 4 year old. We were very comfortable in the apartment and we could easily walk everywhere. Gianfranco was a marvelous host. He was there to welcome us and provided excellent communication with us. Thanks to our location in Oltrarno, we experienced so much in Florence. Gianfranco even recommended a driver, Silvia, for a day outing to Tuscany’s wine country and Siena. Altogether, I highly recommend this apartment for visitors to Florence.

A Gem in Firenze

A Fabulous Florence Gem
This spacious, well-equipped apartment was the ideal accommodation for 6 of us who recently spend 5 nights in Florence. The location was ideal. Being across the river meant we were not directly in the heart of the hustle and bustle of touristy downtown Florence, yet we were minutes away from everything we wanted to see. The large beautifully appointed rooms meant we had ample space to spread out . The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy several meals there and the accessibility of a nearby grocery store made food shopping relatively easy. The detailed information provided by owner Gianfranco was exemplary. Everything that a visitor might need info on was provided either through his visitors' book, emails or personal drop in visits. When a small problem arose, he came immediately to address it. His family supported our visit as well through courteous arrival and departure assistance. Florence has much to offer the visitor. This apartment and the owner added to the overall highly favourable opinion we have of our stay . A true gem in a wonderful city. We highly recommend this place to anyone considering a visit to Florence and area.

Amazing Apartment in Florence
So to begin with you will NEVER find better value in an apartment in Florence than what is offered by your host. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable with a beautifully arranged apartment with all the trappings. That’s not even the best part , they will bend backwards to help you in anyway possible. As an example my niece rented a van and had no where to park it Friday night. The owner and his wife bent over backwards to insure we had a place to park the monaster van on a busy Friday night and his wife vent with my niece to park the van and then “walked” back with her and her husband. I ask you, where would you ever find that kind of hospitality in the states. Not to mention the fact that they were checking in with us at all times to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. When we return to Florence we will always stay with the Rosatis. Seriously I can’t even begin to thank them enough for their service and the use of the beautiful apartment than very nicely accommodated eight adults.

Spacious and Perfectly Appointed and Located. Superbly Helpful Owners On-Site.
Gianfranco, Cinzia, and their two sons were perfect hosts. They welcomed us on arrival as they live in the building, helped us with luggage, and showed us around the apartment explaining the various appliances and procedures. They had previously helped us with securing a local tour guide and suggesting things to do. They had a full binder about restaurants, stores, and attractions with maps you could follow. Multilingual, they helped us to retrieve two suitcases misplaced by the airlines. And they reserved our taxis for multiple scheduled trips members of our party had scheduled by train and air. The apartment has excellent air conditioning and a well-maintained elevator. We were all in training for climbing the Duomo steps (463 steps) so avoided the elevator initially but appreciated it later in our vacation after a long day exploring the city. The apartment itself is gorgeous! Decorated with antiques and with comfortable beds and modern bathrooms with plenty of hot water. We didn’t do too much cooking (too many nearby restaurants to try) but the kitchen is fully equipped with a full-size refrigerator. The apartment on Via die Bardi is also really well-located for what we wanted to do. Close enough to all the major art museums and the Duomo but on a more-secluded, quiet street south of the Arno about 2 blocks from the Ponte Alle Grazzie and about 5 blocks from the Ponte Vecchio. Our once-in-lifetime (probably) trip to Florence was made even more perfect by staying here hosted by Gianfranco and Cinzia. Gracie Mille!

Wonderful Apartment!!
Perfect apartment for Florence! Gianfranco and his wife are very charming and gracious! The location is within walking distance of all major sites and may restaurants. The apartment was clean and spacious and perfect for 5 people. The elevator (hard to find in Florence) and air conditioning was perfect after a long day. The apartment is beautifully furnished with antiques and the veranda is lovely to sit in. The apartment and bathroom is updated with all modern conveniences including plenty of electrical plugs. WiFi was very reliable even for 5 heavy users! We appreciated the little things like the washer and dryer, plenty of towels, nice bed linens, basic food upon on arrival from our hosts (coffee, bread, water and a very nice wine!). Overall, the apartment was very welcoming and perfect for our 5 days in Florence. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again. Thank you to Gianfranco and Cinzia for making our visit so wonderful!
