About this property

Irresistible Ponte Vecchio Area! Sweet Terrace-AC-Historic Location-5 Stars!

FLORENCE ITALY PERFECT CASETTA BONSI HOUSE
This is a charming small house in an excellent Florence historic location, just two blocks from the landmark Ponte Vecchio. You will enjoy the feeling of living in a home with a terrace, right in the center of Florence!

• Great location near Ponte Vecchio bridge
• Terrace!
• Air conditioning
• Spotlessly clean
• Friendly, helpful English speaking greeter

It is tastefully decorated with an up-to-date kitchen and bathroom.
Cross the Ponte Vecchio going towards the Pitti Palace, take a quick left up a little street, and you're home in two minutes after morning of sightseeing, an afternoon of shopping, or a long lunch. Just on the other side of the river is the famed Uffizi Gallery, only an five minute walk from the house.

One of the most surprising aspects is that this is truly an independent house, on its very own little piazza, the tiny 'Piazza de' Bonsi ' and was built in 1890 by the longtime Florentine Bonsi della Ruota family.

The spacious living room has a beautiful antique painted Venetian china cupboard, lovely Tuscan dining table and chairs, and a comfortable sofa that includes a pop-up trundle bed that can be made up into two twin beds or a king-size bed. Enjoy breakfast in the kitchen if you prefer at the little counter that overlooks onto the private garden of the lovely villa next door. Off the kitchen is a small laundry room with washing machine.

The bedroom is upstairs with a king-size bed and beautiful Tuscan armoire and dresser. Off the upstairs landing is the private terrace where you can take your morning espresso or sip a glass of Chianti as the sun sets over this dazzling city. The bathroom is nicely appointed, clean white tile and marble, enclosed shower, bidet, good water pressure, lots of storage and halogen lighting.

Casetta Bonsi della Ruota is conveniently located, you can walk to all the major attractions.

Beautiful two story home gave us the feel of living in Florence. Upstairs patio off the hall, though small, was a nice place to escape and have some wine and snacks. Getting to the home does require uphill walks almost wherever you go, but was doable for us who are in our late 60s. Living room is large and beautiful. Bedroom was large with high ceilings. Overall would not hesitate to book again.

Our stay here was very nice, offering privacy and not in the chaos of the city center. The pictures do not do it justice! It's adorable and still very convenient to all activities, restaurants, shopping, etc. Unfortunately, it was relatively cool inside for most of our stay, with the average temperature of 18.2 Celsius or 65 Fahrenheit. I would imagine this is ideal in the spring, summer, and autumn.

Lovely little house, great location. Walking distance to just about everything you will want to see. Our greeter, Cristiana was pleasant and helpful. A bottle of wine and sweet treats were left for us upon our arrival. Would highly recommend this place. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The hill you must walk up to get to the house might be a challenge to some. We are in our 70s and in good shape, and so it was not a problem for us.

Our property was so nice! It was clean, well laid out, and charming.The kitchen was just fine for our breakfast and snack snacks. The outdoor veranda on the second floor is beautiful.Well, the person that helped us with check-in was very nice, we got a wrong address and it kind of got us off on the wrong foot. And also took her a while to get there with the key. I do wish that would’ve been a little bit more smooth, but perhaps it was just the day. Just FYI this apartment is up a very large hill. Be prepared to walk it several times a day!!

Perfect little Italian hideaway

We could not have been more pleased with our stay here. Other reviews say the pictures don’t do it justice, and they are CORRECT! Tucked away just off the road, this beautiful two-story apartment features an incredible terrace where you can enjoy the morning sun, the afternoon breeze, or the night sky. You’re also close enough to the main drag but far enough away that it’s still quite quiet.Will DEFINITELY be returning!Thank you to Cristiana for being a most gracious and wonderful welcome committee, too!

Firenze trip

Apartment is spotless in very good condition. Exactly as described. There is a fine grocery store close to Ponte Vecchio with a large selection of foods on offer. Also some good pastry shops. One caution is that the access is about 150 meters up a steep hill. At the end of the day for those 60+ after having walked all day, this can be a challenge.

Great location and super cute place

We loved our stay in Florence and having this cozy apartment was super convenient. Aside from the short walk up and down a steep hill its was great! Although we didn’t mind the extra exercise! Quiet street close to the bridge and all sorts of action. Highly recommend, will use again!

A week’s return visit to Florence after 25 years

My partner and I found these accommodations spectacular! Impeccably clean and furnished and comfortable. It is true to the pictures online—and the two levels and the layout of the rooms even more delightful than the photos can capture. We were sad to say goodbye to this very special place and hope to return one day.

Authentic Italian

Overall great stay in this authentic Italian apartment. Very clean. The little touches like the bottle of wine, bottle of water, the cookies, the bar of soap, the little extras were very thoughtful and appreciated. Check in was super easy. Fantastic location with walking distance to so much! Literally 3 minute walk away from Ponte Vecchio. Felt very safe here. I thought we would use the balcony but we never did. Not really very comfy. Plus we were out all day every day exploring. The bed was a bit firm. Some may like that. The biggest issue we had was with the mosquitos inside the apartment! We got bitten every night while asleep. And not one or two bites. Many bites. We're from Canada and we're used to mosquitos but we don't have them in our home like this place does. I think screens on the windows would help. That's what works for us.

Great location! Easily walkable, quiet neighborhood.

We had a wonderful time staying in this VRBO. The location is perfect, 10/10. We arrived early, the host helped us coordinate a spot to leave luggage to allow us to walk around Florence. We were so close to Ponte Vecchio & a short walk to sunsets at piazzale michelangelo, a grocery store and many good options for aperitivo and coffee. Would return again.

A great place to launch your exploration of Florence

The property is sizeable and clean, with all the amenities we needed. Air conditioning worked great, laundry facilities (badly needed at our third week in Europe) were good, and proximity to anything we wanted to walk to was perfect. I will say the cash that was required at check-in was irksome - allowing me to pre-pay online would have helped avoid a trip to the ATM at an awkward time. Also you must traverse a steep incline to get to the apartment, which can be daunting after a day of walking the city. The 2-wheeled vehicles that park in front can definitely be irritating noise-wise, but something we got used to. We had a great stay and will certainly consider this property again for future stays in Florence.

Well appointed Ponte Vecchio

Really enjoyed the unit. It is two levels with bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Kitchen and living room downstairs. Well appointed with paintings and nice furniture. AC was great since it was hot. Location was excellent just two blocks up from ponte Vecchio. Very manageable 20 minute walk to train station. Really enjoyed unit although could be difficult with stairs.
