I stayed 6 nights with my family in Florence at this apartment. We had a wonderful time and the place was the perfect size for my family. Lots of room to sit and talk. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The supermarket is close by. The apartment is a little bit of a walk to some of the tourist areas of Florence, but we all enjoyed walking through the city. Fillippo was VERY accommodating and super helpful, which was much appreciated. He ordered 3 different cabs for us on our departure day as some people were leaving at different times. Also, he let us store our luggage during the day, so the group that was leaving later in the day didn't have to carry their luggage around in the city. I would definitely recommend staying at Residenza Oltrarno!

Filippo’s home and Filippo as a host combined to make this one of my best VRBO/vacation rental home experiences. The apartment is specious and homey, and has everything you need to spread out and get comfortable. Each on of the 3 bedrooms is spacious and two bathrooms make it easy for a family to get ready in the morning. Filippo is gracious and attentive. When we lost power for a little bit (entire building, no fault of the owner), Filippo responded immediately, looked into the situation, and followed up until it was resolved. Filippo provided pre-paid parking passes, that allowed us to park within a block for only €10/day. Great neighborhood, that’s busy and lively, with everything you need within a 5-10 minute walk, and the Duomo is about 20-25 minute walk. Just a great stay all around.

Filippo was the most gracious host. He treated us as if we were family. The apartment was huge and immaculate. This apartment met beyond our expectations. A great location. Able to pick up a bus to take us to a the main center of Florence. A wonderful cafe just across the street was so convenient, as well as the many restaurants within a walking distance. We would have stayed here again on our way back from the Amalfi Coast but it was booked as you’d expect it to be. A great spot in the evening to enjoy wine overlooking Gardens in the back and the street in the front. I recommend this apartment and Filippo, our knowledgeable and helpful host 150%!

A feeling of neighborhood in busy Florence, we were delighted with our stay. The location was a 20-30 minute walk or taxi ride to all sights, with a convenient grocery store right down the street.

This apartment is lovely and well equipped. The traffic noise was noticeable in the roadside bedrooms but it didn't bother us that much. Filippo was very informative and helpful and gave us many good suggestions. Though the location was a bit removed from major tourist attractions, those who don't mind walking will find it satisfactory. We had a lovely stay.

The apartment was spacious enough for 8 people but it was only two of us - enough space for my mother and me to get along. I gave the Location 4 stars only because walk to town was a bit much for my mother (she is 83) and the taxi situation in Florence was bizarre and frustrating. Sometimes it took several calls and some taxis never showed. Fortunately, the heroes of the story were Filippo and his wife Donatella. They both personally went above and beyond to help us throughout our stay. Filippo even came and picked us up a couple of times when we needed a ride. When we checked in I told Filippo I was in some pain and later that day Donatella (she is a nurse) came over with some medication for me to save my trip. And Filippo brought me to his chiropractor. I'm sure we were "special needs" clients but this is the kind of people they were, wanting to make sure our stay was good! Thank you very much for what both of you did for us, we would have felt completely on our own without you.

Filippo is an attentive and available host. We were a group of 6 adults and were very comfortable in the apartment. The two balconies were perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks!
