My husband and I and our three adult children shared the place for a week. There was plenty of room. The location was really great. Walkable to everything but yeah out of the fray of being in the middle of the city. Maybe I misread but I thought there was a washer and dryer, it turns out there was only a washer but other than that all was as expected. The communication with the owner and her assistant was above average. Thank you, grazie.

General cleanliness needs attention such as vacuuming under all beds. Crockery and cutlery was dirty.

We would like to give many thanks to Vittorio for getting us settled in to the apartment.
We were six friends and the apartment was more than spacious to accommodate all of us.
Apartment was close to all main activities and a short walk from the train station.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the historic Soderi Palace apartment in the authentic and convenient Oltrano neighborhood just across the Arno River from all the major sites in Florence. The air conditioning, elevator, and washing machine were much appreciated amenities.

Fantastic location in Florence. Just across the Arno and walkable to all of the major sites. Great communication with the hostess. We liked the cafe on the back side of the building right on the river for breakfast and ate at restaurants on this same block twice. Really enjoyed this property.

Beautiful decorated historic property that is very central to all you want to walk to in Florence. The Host is the most responsive and helpful person I have come across in all our VRBO rentals over the years. Very clean, easy to find and nice amenities in the home including good air conditioning in the rooms!

Centrally located but not in the most touristy part of town. Walkable go all the sites. Very clean and spacious, perfect for our group of 5 including grandparents and toddler. Great bakeries and restaurant in the neighborhood. Host was responsive and timely. Thanks for a great stay! Would recommend for family vacation.

Soderini Palace is in a great location
The cleanliness of the apartment was not to my standard. Lots of dust on the headboards, the light switches were very dirty, the shower could have been scrubbed better including kitchen
The location of the parking garage is not ideal nor easy to find
Very minimal items in kitchen!
Beds comfortable, excellent AC, and beautiful decor
Thank you

We loved our stay at Soderini Palace! It was so clean, so comfortable, and fit our family of 6 beautifully! The location was great, the host was very kind—we had a mix-up about the city tax (our fault) and the owner was very gracious and patient with us. The kitchen was very well equipped and we ate breakfast at the apartment each morning. It was wonderful to have access to a washing machine for laundry, and again, the apartment was so clean! The location was very convenient and we walked everywhere. We would absolutely recommend this location. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Best apartment we stayed in during our two week tour of Italy. Easy walk from the train station. The lift was nice for luggage and if we were too tired at the end of long day of walking. Highly recommend.

This apartment has good sized bedrooms and baths and a nice kitchen. The living area is large. We were not there much during the day, but slept comfortably and appreciated the laundry. The location was great; walkable to all the sites, loved the Santo Spirito neighborhood with convenient coffee shops and restaurants. It is a very cool building that has a long history but is fully remodeled.

This apartment was perfect for a family of 5. Great in town location, beds were comfy, spacious family room and air conditioners worked well.
Both showers were small but that seems to be normal in Italy.

We had a great week at the apartment in Soderini Palace. The apartment is large and spacious. The owners were very helpful in advance of our arrival and answered all of our questions. All of the major sites of Florence are within walking distance, and there is a grocery store and many restaurants within 2-3 blocks of the apartment. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed. The beds in the bedrooms are firm but comfortable. One note about the front bedroom. It can be noisy at night because of the bar/restaurant next door. The noise dies down around 11 pm and the apartment overall is very quiet.

Gianni was extremely accommodating and welcoming. Our check in and out could not have been easier. The apartment is beautiful, elegant and very spacious. Clean and well stocked. Modern kitchen and bathrooms with traditional Italian charm. Don’t miss the gelato on the corner (steps away) and the pizza downstairs at Dante’s is great for late night snack, or any other time. Location is central but also quiet. 1 minute walk from Arno.

Our stay was as expected. The lobby is enormous and somewhat off putting at first when you first enter, the elevator quite small. With luggage, we each traveled up to the apartment solo. And down again when leaving. We appreciated the number of keys available so we had our independence when leaving the apartment. The bedrooms and baths, all the rooms, allowed lots of space and privacy to enjoy the apartment. We were 4 adults traveling together, one married couple and two solo ladies who enjoyed their own rooms. We did not cook simply from lack of need with so many restaurants around to enjoy. There is a club nearby that did create some night noise for two of the bedrooms. All in all, it suited our needs for our 3 night stay and provided a comfortable place to settle when not out exploring Florence.

Thank you for a wonderful spot in Florence!

The apartment was as expected for a European apartment in an old building. Clean, high ceilings, generous spaces, a long walk up the stairs, tiny elevator, European washing machine and a hanger for drying clothes, thin walls that allow you to hear the neighbors, and chilly in late March and early February. The shutters blocked out the light well in the morning. Beds were comfortable, and our four boys each had their own bed. There were extra comforters to make the beds warm.
The neighborhood was hip and within easy walking distance of the sites.
Unfortunately, the problem started at night when other occupants of the apartment building or a restaurant partied until 3am. The noise echoed through the courtyard and kept my wife awake (while I mostly slept next to her). The noise did not make it to the boys’ bedrooms, and they slept fine.

My family and I had a long-term stay at Soderini Palace while on sabbatical this fall. To say we found the perfect location in Florence to stay for a few months is an understatement! The apartment is exactly as shown and described in the pictures and description, but here are a few more details to help with deciding on this apartment for your stay:
1) It's a perfect location because it's NOT in the city center, but a short walk to everything there should you want it. It's on the cusp of both the busy touristy area and the more quiet, local Oltrarno neighborhood. We met many wonderful people during our stay and the restaurants - oh my, too many wonderful ones in the neighborhood to count!
2) The layout of the apartment is wonderful and spread out in such a way that you can find privacy in the bedrooms or even the living room or kitchen if you need it. Each room has a door and provides for some respite. And two full bathrooms make it easy to manage with adults and children in residence.
3) Gianni and Chiara, the hosts, have been doing this for quite a while and are the perfect proprietors. They always answered any questions we had quickly, and we had a great walk-through when we arrived to fully understand all of the workings of the apartment. Since we were there for a while we got to know them, they are really a wonderful team and take pride in running their rental in a professional manner. There was no question that anything we needed would be addressed if necessary.
I could go on and on, but in short - for any length of stay, should you want a clean, comfortable, beautiful apartment and location, this is it. The history of Florence is felt all around you and it's a perfect location for any daily adventures that you may have. We hope to return some day!

Spacious with great location!
This property was so comfortable for our family of 5. The AC was a lifesaver for our summer visit. Conveniently located on the other side of the bridge next to one of our favorite gelato spots. Would love to return!

Loved this property for our stay in Florence. Our family of four fit comfortably. I loved the location because it is close to things without it being right on top of the crowd. It is close to great restaurants and around the corner to fabulous gelato.

Bella Firenze!
We spent a few days in Florence with our 20-something children on their college and law school winter breaks, doing a whirlwind European tour. Wonderful!! We felt so at home here. The bedrooms were good-sized and comfy, the bathrooms had plenty of hot water, and it was warm and cozy. The apartment also has a table to sit in the kitchen, and best of all, a lovely sala (living room) with comfy couches and a dining table to do a little work or plan your day’s touring. The neighborhood is fabulous — so many restaurants, bars, clubs and cafes. We really appreciated the washing machine and the lift — our son hurt his knee right before the trip so being able to skip the stairs was a welcome find. The owners were so communicative and could not have been nicer or more hospitable. (I left my cosmetic bag behind the morning we left, and they were kind enough to send it to me!) This apartment is walking distance to literally everything you’d want to see and do in Florence — we walked everywhere, even up to Piazzale Michelangelo. A fabulous stay.

Great Apartment, Luxurious Amount of Space
Highly recommend. We had a lovely stay in this apartment and in Florence. Chiara was a superb host and was very responsive, from answering pre-travel questions, all throughout our stay and the all important help for a 3:30am taxi to the airport to catch our flight. (the taxi arrived right on time, BTW)
Florence is a very walkable city. We found the location ideal. Just across the river, about a 5-15 minute walk to do most everything we wanted to do.
The apartment has a luxurious amount of space and is well furnished and nicely decorated. The building itself is historical, super well constructed, and makes you feel you are getting the true Florence experience. The apartment is up multiple flights of stairs, but we are in our 50s and didn’t have a problem. There was also an elevator in case we had luggage or were tired. The kitchen was a great help. We stopped at a local grocery store and picked up breakfast and sandwich items, to help reduce dining out costs, as well as sundries like shampoo and a bar of soap. Beds were very comfortable. The showers were european-sized, but reasonable. The washing machine was a big help, so we didn’t need to pack as many clothes. Very pleased with the experience.
Not apartment related, but thought we’d share a bit on COVID-era travel in Florence. Florence has several locations for pre-travel COVID tests, including the Airport and (we were told) the train station and some pharmacies. We did ours at the Airport. There is an online reservation system, which we used to book appointments the day before we were to travel. We took a taxi to/from the airport for the tests. The testing center is about 50 feet in front of the main terminal. We arrived early, and didn’t have to wait for our appointed times. We were in and out in about 30 minutes with printed copies of our test results in hand. Cost was 20 euro per person. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Also, Italy was using the “Green Pass” app to confirm vaccine status. We had photos of our US CDC vaccine cards on our phones and everyone accepted that instead. We had to show our vaccination card photo for every train ride and meal at a restaurant, among numerous other places. Of course, things COVID are changing frequently, so the truth could change.
Overall we had an amazing experience in Florence, due in large part to Chiara and this apartment. So… Would we chose this property again if we visit Florence? Absolutely.
