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 -

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. Hoping you enjoy your stay too! ##### Andrea C.

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.

This apartment was fantastic from the moving-in to moving-out day. It is perfectly situated, just outside the hubbub of Centro but close enough to so that it’s an easy walk. Plus, there is so much to do in Oltrarno we ended up spending most of our time in the Santo Spirito and San Frediano neighborhoods. The apartment itself is nicely laid out, especially if a second bedroom is appropriate. Everything worked, everything was clean, there were more than enough dishes, cutlery and cooking supplies. Even the washing machine worked, which in our experience In Europe isn’t always a given. George met us at the apartment and stayed in touch with us via Whatsapp the whole time, making sure everything was just right. He definitely was not an absentee landlord. My only regret is that I had to leave. ##### David M.

He really took pride in his home and we felt grateful he opened it to us for our stay. We traveled with 2 kids ages 12 and 13 and had no issues walking anywhere. It was a quick walk to Pitti Palace and then 15-20 min walk to the Duomo. There were plenty of restaurants nearby that were excellent. My advice- no car is needed in Florence at all. You can’t drive in most of the streets due to restrictions. We had a car but left it in a spot and didn’t touch it again for 4 days. We wanted to do some day trips but opted for a train to Pisa due to the hassle of getting the car etc. Overall I would recommend this stay to anyone- it was a great experience. Would love to go back again! ##### Christina L.

The apartment is in a fantastic location just down the street from the Pitti Palace. There are supermarkets and restaurants very close by. The apartment is very similar to the photographs, but there is a table in the living area now which does make the space feel small (although I think for people that are cooking for themselves, the table is a welcome addition). The place feels well loved, it's very rustic. The bedrooms are a good size and the beds are comfortable. It was very hot when we were there and the air con in the bedrooms allowed us to sleep well at night. We found that the air con in the living area couldn't cool us down enough so that was quite difficult. George is a fantastic host - he was fabulous at communicating with us and was incredibly helpful when it came to finding a park for our car. We have been travelling in Europe for 7 weeks and have stayed in a lot of different apartments and this is the first one where we have had the electric metre monitored and then had to pay an additional charge for using electricity. We are not a fan of that system. Overall, George is a wonderful host, the apartment is in a great location but it wasn't quite our cup of tea. ##### Dina H.

George is an impeccable host who clearly cares about his guests’ successful stay in Florence. He reached out shortly after I made our booking and helped with trip-planning prior to our arrival; we travelled with a complete feeling of security that our arrival and check-in would go well, and it did. The apartment itself is a gem with bedding, bathrooms, heating and washing machine in excellent order, and also genuinely a comfortable and substantial home, with evidence everywhere of the professional artistic interests of its owner and his family. Also a special mention for the kitchen which is kitted out with sufficient pots, strainers, ladles, thin-lipped wine glasses, nice-quality cutlery to cook and serve a beautiful meal in comfort. We also loved the location, well away from the tourist zone (heaving even in February), but readily walkable to just about everything a visitor is likely to want to see. Of the neighbourhood shops, we especially liked the pescheria just beyond the porta, Botteghe Fornaio on via sant’Agostino for daily bread and Pitti Express just opposite the apartment where a cheerful and friendly trio provided delicious inexpensive sandwiches throughout the day. Just to note that this location is not suitable for a traveller with mobility issues or heavy luggage. The climb to the apartment provided a good work-out even for this relatively fit user and there is no alternative to the stairs. ##### Su Sian P.

He was attentive and communicative about every detail concerning the apartment and the surrounding neighborhood. He should give seminars on how to be a fantastic VRBO host! The three of us were so happy with our entire experience! ##### David S.

George attended to any need we had including helping us with transport (taxi is very hard to book in Florence). His unit is clean and has all the basics and more. As a musician I was very excited to play his beautiful piano every day!!Thanks so very much George! ##### Vivian C.

Communication with him was very easy using Whatsapp. The apartment is very nice and comfortable. It even has a grand piano that my son played. The location is across the river in a quieter part of the city, but is an easy walk to most of the city. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Florence. ##### Thukalan V.

The apartment was great and we really enjoyed getting to know people at our local coffee shop, butcher and vegetable stand. If we ever get a chance to return to Florence we will definitely stay at George’s place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 13 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thuy D. 14 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this cozy home. We had everything we needed for us and our kids, for cooking our breakfast and lunch. My daughter really enjoyed playing the piano. 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.
