PONTORMO C.A.V. Firenze, Palazzo Medici

Our clients' impression

The property is a prime location, the bridge and its breath taking view of Firenze at night was probably less than a hundred steps away. We enjoyed the original antique quality of the building. It has an elevator when you're tired or overburdened, but we used the staircase all the time; it was interesting and felt authentic. The large front windows opened onto the street which was busy and fun, the ventilation was ideal and we kept the windows open all day. It got a bit chilly at night. The kitchen was also fairly well equipped, and it was fun cooking food from the small shops. It is just enough out of the way to escape the "touristy" areas, but close enough to access it as desired. The stores, restaurants and people were less hurried and more amenable than the more central locations. The second bedroom was so small that the only place to put one's stuff was up in the loft, but if you were using the fold-out bed, there wasn't enough space to do that. The room would have worked for two cozy people, but was definitely stretched for three. June, 2006
It was in a great location and very comfortable with a good kitchen. Enjoyed Most: The living room was very large with high ceilings and a fire place. It was very comfortable. Unpleasant Surprises: The dining area was small and could be better lit. Surrounding Area: Proximity to historic centre, yet close to a neighbourhood with local shops. April 2000
