W/ Grand Piano in Oltrarno near Pitti Palace This is a lovely, elegant and quiet apartment, totally renovated with central heating, central AC (a $10,000 system!) and with new appliances, in the heart of Florence. Yes, 7 min. walk from the Ponte Vecchio on the Arno River, and you will be so, so, so happy not to be living in the middle of the mobs of tourists and selfie-stick vendors. Oltrarno is by far the best, least touristy neighbourhood. We are at Via Romana 29, 50 meters from the entrance to the Boboli Gardens, next door to the Pitti Palace. You will find a magnificent Yamaha C3 piano, the fastest wi-fi internet in Italy (1 GB speed!), a new SMART TV with DVD and VHS player and a new SONY audio system that will permit you to play your own music via Bluetooth from you cell phone or a USB plug. Oh, the Wi-Fi is free! Oh, and there's a yoga mat for yoga enthusiasts! This is not your usual bare and spartan rental. It is a real home with books (an entire shelf of guide books), music, antique furniture, good reading lights and original art on the walls by artists such as Piero Dorazio, Brian O'Doherty, Patrick Ireland and Arnaldo Pomodoro. It consists of an entrance and living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a table for four, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a closet room, central heating, telephone, washer, dishwasher, microwave, and insect screens on the windows! You will find a folder in the apartment with loads of suggestions of things to see, places to eat and lesser-known attractions. The apartment is on the second floor of our building. My wife and I came to Italy in 1973, when I began work as a photographer. You can find me on my website: www.georgetatge.com. Our pianist/composer son, William, who was born and raised in Italy, lived in this flat a couple of years before deciding to seek his fortune back in the U.S.A. Florence needs no introduction. Suffice it to say that Unesco (the cultural branch of the United Nations) did a study 15 years ago which declared that 60% of the world's artistic heritage is on Italian soil. 30% of that is in Florence alone. But if that isn't enough to tickle your fancy, remember the Chianti vineyards within 30 min. drive, the towns of Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo and Pisa, the beaches of Viareggio and the Maremma, all easy drives on excellent roads. Florence is only a 90 min. train ride from Rome on the high-speed trains and Umbria is the region just south of Tuscany. So within two hours you can reach Perugia, Spoleto, Assisi and that magical town Todi, where we also rent a home (see Listing 247510). We ask that you reimburse us for the gas and electricity during the cold months. During summer rentals only the electricity will be charged. Both are metered. The City of Florence levies a tourist tax of €6 per person for a maximum of 7 nights. Children under 12 are exempt. We will collect this at the end of your stay. If there is no road work taking place in our neighborhood we can provide free parking in public spots that are not checked on by the municipal police. I can park one of our cars there and let you take the spot when you arrive. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Evening entertainment - Music library - Piano - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Daily housekeeping - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Soundproofing - Unit size: 1,184 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81930000/81928000/81927971/7b9e921a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Art Apartment Luxury Ponte Vecchio Suite Historic Centre of Florence - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.6 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=81927971&PinnedHotelID=81927971&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32110000/32108900/32108855/56a5c339.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villoresi Mansion Apt. 2 Historic Centre of Florence - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=32108855&PinnedHotelID=32108855&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18840000/18839500/18839424/612c2034.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Torre Lambertesca-FiorenTino, studio with big terrace over the roof of Florence Historic Centre of Florence - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Laundry room - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 54 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=18839424&PinnedHotelID=18839424&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83140000/83136100/83136036/3eed15f5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Suite Pinti Historic Centre of Florence - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 9.0 Wonderful 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=83136036&PinnedHotelID=83136036&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69700000/69697800/69697774/165a6df6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Torre dei Sapiti Apartment Historic Centre of Florence - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Microwave 8.6 Excellent 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-02&endDate=2026-01-03&selected=69697774&PinnedHotelID=69697774&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18790000/18788400/18788354/5d29862d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Botticelli" apartment by WP Relais, located in the hearth of Florence.

Everything was so close by we would go out in the morning for an outing and return to rest at midday and go back out again. The neighborhood nearby was very charming and friendly. There was a farmers market on Sunday a couple blocks away which was a nice treat for us. We would highly recommend! ##### Thuy D.

It was a short walk to anything we wanted to see. Our teenage musician really enjoyed making use of the piano in the apartment. Thanks George for your hospitality! We will definitely be recommending this property for any friends visiting Florence. ##### Duncan H.

Located in a lovely neighborhood, away from the noise and crowds, our apartment had all of the things we needed to feel at home. George, our host was very responsive to all requests and questions. With a two week stay, we were able to cook in the well-stocked kitchen instead of going out all the time which was great. I cooked a lot. Our family of three adults enjoyed the comfort of A/C in both bedrooms AND living room. Great laundromat located next door with washers AND dryers!! We truly enjoyed our stay! ##### Helene S.

The location put us close to historic Florence by foot, but just outside the constant flow of touristy traffic. George is a very helpful and his attention to details shows with all the extras. Amenities including AC in each room, a full size fridge, and fresh flowers made us feel at home. Note that for some guests, the hike to third floor might be a barrier.

This was our second rental in Italy on a European adventure. We loved this apartment. The stairs are a significant workout but that's healthy! There were fresh flowers, a wide range of books, easy and pretty speedy wi-fi, a kitchen with all you might need to cook (we chose not to) comfortable beds and a storage room that made it easy for drying the laundry and storing our suitcases outside the rooms. It is an excellent location, walking distance to the beautiful Boboli Gardens, Ponte Vecchio, and the Doumo. Check in was smooth, good communication from the owner and even extras like a bottle of wine for us! I highly recommend this VRBO for your stay in Florence. ##### Alison B.

The apartment itself was very spacious and comfortable for four adults and allowed us to unpack and really feel at home. We had the option to eat in after shopping at the local butcher, package store and pasticceria that George pointed out; and the chance to do laundry mid-week and the apartment was stocked with a full library of travel books that we used extensively. George is an accommodating host, meeting us for early check-in, helping us park, suggesting travel destinations and restaurants and helping to arrange for our early morning taxi to the airport. I would highly recommend this property and only wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Bridget B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Machiavelli Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Machiavelli-Palace.h521248.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ville sull'Arno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Ville-SullArno.h521255.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Continentale - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Continentale-Lungarno-Collection.h905768.Hotel-Information) > > [Residenza D'Epoca Palazzo Galletti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Residenza-DEpoca-Palazzo-Galletti.h1851785.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hotel Calimala Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Calimala.h37955169.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Stanze del Duomo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Le-Stanze-Del-Duomo.h7519914.Hotel-Information) > > [Gallery Hotel Art - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Gallery-Hotel-Art-Lungarno-Collection.h14614.Hotel-Information) > > [IQ Hotel Firenze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-IQ-Hotel-Firenze.h89035039.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kraft](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Kraft.h27795.Hotel-Information) > > [MH Florence Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-MH-Florence-Hotel-Spa.h13066303.Hotel-Information) > > [Plus Florence - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Plus-Florence-Hostel.h4125332.Hotel-Information) > > [Cerretani Hotel Firenze - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cerretani-Mgallery-Collection.h2345.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Santa Maria Novella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Santa-Maria-Novella.h920451.Hotel-Information) > > [Il Rivalta - Place of Charme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Alfieri-Signature-Suites.h45790281.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Firenze Centro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Mercure-Firenze-Centro.h9727633.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Centrale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Relais-Hotel-Centrale-Residenza-D-Epoca.h2066602.Hotel-Information) > > [Corona D'italia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Corona-DItalia.h799996.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel Firenze by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-AC-Hotel-Firenze-By-Marriott.h1593256.Hotel-Information) > > [Bernini Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Bernini-Palace.h13999.Hotel-Information) > > [Forte16 View & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Forte16.h8071708.Hotel-Information) > > [Monna Lisa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Monna-Lisa.h1230.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Baglioni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Baglioni.h6371.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Adriatico](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Adriatico.h21881.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cantoria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cantoria.h10939902.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Berchielli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Berchielli.h521260.Hotel-Information) > > [Casual Rinascimento Firenze Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Casual-Rinascimento-Firenze-SPA.h89410886.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Accademia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Accademia.h1492705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Milu Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Milu-Hotel.h15495681.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Atlantic Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Atlantic-Palace.h45737.Hotel-Information) ---
