Background:
The 'Palazzo Bucciolini', which takes its name from the family, already owner of the 'Palazzo Bucciolini, formerly Pitti', bought it in the mid-nineteenth century, a time when Florence was the capital of Italy. In the entrance hall, in the center of the vault and on the front of the gate, is the family crest.
The frescoes date back to the mid-18th century. As in many historic buildings there is no lift, but there are 22 steps to get to the apartment.
The street where it is located, Via delle Caladaie, owes its name to the boilers of the Arte della Lana which were numerous in the Oltrarno area and which were used to heat the pools for dyeing the clothes.

Beautiful historic building in rather calm area

Eleonora gave us a friendly wellcome and showed us around in the flat. Everything we needed was there and of course the historic details made it something really special.The Santo Spirito area is not as crowded as the rest of Florence, so we enjoyed our stay very much.

Nachts im Museum

Wir wurden sehr nett auf englisch von der Hausdame begrüßt. Als die Tür sich öffnete, wurde uns bewußt, wir sind Gäste an einem besonderen Ort. Die Räume sind außergewöhnlich. Im "Wohnzimmer" erzählen Fresken aus dem 18. Jh. von der Ausbildung des Liebesgottes Amor. Der perfekte Ort als Start für unsere Kulturreise. Die Museen sind von hier aus gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Für das Frühstück gibt es in der Nachbarschaft nette Bäckereien und auch für das Abendbrot gibt es genussreichen Angebote in direkter Nähe.

Amazing property in incredible location

We stayed here for our honeymoon, and were blown away by the space. The location is in a quiet side street off of a great piazza with a neat market every day. The actual rooms were incredible—such a slice of history that we felt like royalty ourselves! It was so nice to have a washer on site, A/C, and a kitchen—it felt homey and had what we needed to stay comfortable!

Wonderful historic apartment

The apartment was everything we hoped it would be, old, grand and decoration in keeping with the apartment. The stay helped to make our visit to Florence al the more special. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to asorb some of the history and heritage of Florence. Pictures are a little misleading as they show both apartments to rent, when you get one of this only. But it did not affect our experience at all.

Have You Ever Stayed at Versailles?

Staying in this fabulous Palazzo was like living in a museum. Where to start? Santo Spirito is literally the perfect location! I wanted to live like a local and I did. Convenient to absolutely everything you want to see, as well as everything you need, I mean within a ten minute walk, but away from all the tourists. Did I say charm? Frescoes on the walls and ceiling, beautiffully decorated in old world style but eclectically mixed with modern bathroom and kitchen. Then step outside and be greeted with cozy cafes and trattoria around the square, kind and friendly neighbors and shopkeepers, artisan studios and workshops and boutiques hidden on tiny cobblestone streets. Veramente, ho sento come io habito da Paradiso! The apartment was immaculate and very comfortable. I felt safe and at home, come la mia casa. Dealing with Elly was a pleasure. If I needed anything, she was available and completely helpful immediately. My stay in Palazzo Bucciolini was my idea of heaven. And if you want to truly experience authentic Italian living, you will not surpass Santo Spirito for location. I cannot believe how fortunate I was to be able to stay in this dream space and if anything, my experience has only increased my desire to move to Italy. Thank you Francesco, Elly and the other staff who helped me. Spero tourno per la Primavera!

The best location and stay!

The one bedroom apartment was very suitable for two seperate sleeping quarters. The ooms very spacious and frescos were amazing. Large windows let breezes in but air conditioning also worked very comfortably. The bathroom was small but modern with plenty of hot water. Checking was a breeze with Elli being the perfect person to introduce you to the neighborhood. She was always prompt and available to answer questions via messaging. San Spirito square was most amazing with markets (produce, cheeses, clothing, kitchen wares) and new vendors appeared each day. There are wonder restaurants around the square and surrounding area. We loved how families with children and musicians would congregate in this area. We found it hard to leave. Walking across the Arno was a quick trip and all museums were close by. We totally loved staying here and the support services from Elli were outstanding.

Comfortable, spacious, and quiet.

The property is as pictured in the VRBO listing. The checkin was easy. The location in Santo Spirito is perfect, and just half a block from the Piazza. What we liked about the apartment is: it is quiet, clean, and well-kept; the kitchen is large enough to prepare meals and has supplies to get started; bathroom is modern; towels and sheets are hotel quality; the terrace is nice; and the air conditioning works well. The owner and his representative, Eleonora were responsive to our requests. The apartment is spacious, but given its configuration, it is not sunny. However, that shouldn't matter because visitors should be out and about enjoying this great neighborhood.

Florentijns appatement

Een zo aardig gedecoreerd appartement zal je in andere Europese steden niet gauw aantreffen. Het doet de prachtige stad Florence eer aan en biedt door zijn ligging ook uitstekend gelegenheid om de stad te verkennen. De nauwkeurigheid van de advertentie zou aanzienlijk kunnen worden verbeterd door duidelijk te maken dat de prachtige foto's niet betrekking hebben op één appartement maar op twee naast elkaar gelegen appartementen (waarmee de entree wordt gedeeld). Op zich is daar niet zo veel op tegen, maar de foto's vertellen niet dat als de tijdelijke buren in het naastgelegen appartement waarmee het gehuurde appartement in feite één unit vormt zeer luidruchtig zijn dit een nogal negatieve invloed op het (tijdelijke) woongenot.

Lavish style and comfort.

This apartment is a stunner. We chose it because we wanted an apartment that matched the history of the city outside. This apartment had much more space than the two of us needed. It was gorgeous. The location was perfect because we were an easy walk from the tourist heart of the city, and plenty of good restaurants and shops, but away from the crowds. There is a secure parking facility around the corner and getting the car in and out of Florence wasn't too difficult. There is, however, no lift in the apartment, and although the apartment is on the first floor, with the high ceilings, it was a fair climb with luggage. Check in was efficient, but the manager did not relieve either of us of one piece of luggage; not so much as a handbag. I was surprised, given our age, her youth and the fact that all other hosts had shown this act of hospitality.

Fantastic Italian hideaway

Me & my partner stayed 4 nights and were wonderfully greeted by friendly and useful . The apartment is spacious and clean and everything you need is available. Beautiful Artwork and amazing finishings . Everything is safe and you won’t regret booking here . The area is great with bars and restaurants all around . The restaurants in the tourist areas are overpriced and average but you will soon find the best places are in this area of Oltrarno. Enjoy

Fabulous Florence Apartment

We spent 4 nights in this amazing palazzo. Walking into it felt like we were entering a movie set. Comfortable, beautiful, clean and well-situated in the Oltrarno area. We easily walked to all the museums and restaurants on both sides of the Arno. Eleonora, the manager of the property, was very helpful and instructive. We will recommend this place to everyone we know who is planning a trip to Florence, and will hope to return ourselves.

One of the most enjoyable places to stay

The three of us were speechless when we arrived, as the property is simply amazing. It was conveniently located, incredibly close to pretty much everything we went to visit and see. The apartment was nothing short of beautiful and comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer than a week. We all really enjoyed our time there and it really felt like a home away from home. It gave us a short insight into what it would be like to actually live in Florence, as a local. All nearby vendors were friendly. The host was incredibly informative and showed us on a map, all the local attractions and gave us suggestions for eateries etc. All in all it would have to be the best stay I have ever experienced. We will definitely return!

Fantistico in Florence

We had an amazing time in Florence. This pictures of this apartment truly reflect the eloquence of the furnishings. The Bucciolini Palace frescoes with the upgraded master bathroom rain shower and heater provides the best of the past and the present. We both love to cook and found the kitchen well equipped to make all our special dishes. The place was extremely quiet during the evenings and provided an excellent location to view all the sites. The Palazzo Pitti gardens and Ponte Vecchio bridge are a short walk away but the palace apartment is off the beaten path of the tourists. Mrs Eleanora was a delight and spent quality time with us explaining the apartment and nearby hidden treasures to explore. The apartment was well-maintained and extremely clean. Highly recommend to others.

Gorgeous apartment, perfect location

We had a perfect week in this gorgeous, spacious 16th century apartment. This historic apartment has beautiful 16th century painted ceilings, 17th century frescoes, and marble floors in the sitting room. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had a wonderful shower, the kitchen had a large fridge, good stove and large table. There was lots of space to spread out books and maps and gear and plenty of storage space. Its quiet location 200 feet from Piazza Santo Spirito but minutes from the heart of Firenze was absolutely perfect. The neighborhood had a great bakery, butcher, bars for morning coffee and evening aperitivi, and loads of eating places. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. A strong 5 *****.

Una location da favola!!!

Ho trascorso un meraviglioso soggiorno con mio marito in questa stupenda dimora, che dire .... al di sopra delle nostre aspettative, bella da togliere il fiato!!!! L'appartamento é elegantissimo, affrescato, ha meravigliosi divani e letti comodi, a garantire un'ottima qualità del sonno, così come ottimale era la sua pulizia. É situato in una zona invidiabile, silenziosa, a due passi da palazzo Pitti e vicino a ristoranti e trattorie tipiche. Siamo stati consigliati durante tutto il soggiorno da Eleonora per ciò che riguardava locali ed attrazioni, mentre Barbara ci ha concesso di lasciare in deposito i bagagli, sia all'arrivo che alla partenza. Un grazie particolare anche ai proprietari per la loro gentilezza e cortesia. Arrivederci a presto

Old world elegance with all amenities provided!

This location is exactly as shared in the pictures and in the reviews! It has beautiful frescoes, wonderful space, and all the amenities you will need including a rather large kitchen and washer and dryer! We were surprised by the size of each of the bedrooms (bedroom/living room depending on how you use it,) so for a family of four, it felt like a luxury. In addition, the outside patio provided a nice respite at the end of a long day. We stayed in a variety of locations throughout our time in Italy, and were really looking for an authentic location with the heart of Florence and "in" the heart of florence to get more of a feel of living like a local. We got that here! We loved the neighborhood, eating at two very nice restaurants both nights. Next door there is one of the best restaurants we found in Italy, absolutely outstanding!! The walk to the center of Florence is short (10 min), or a quick taxi ride, whatever works best for you. Finally, different reviews have commented on the air conditioning or the noise. We had NO problem with either. I didn't notice any noise, and the air was terrific, which says a lot as we were there in August!! Thank you to Federico and Erica for your support in all of my questions and to Ellie for your help in our visit...you went above and beyond!!
