Bardini Garden Apartment

Excellent location and accommodation for a visit to Florence.

Pro: Bardini Garden Apartment provides an ideal location for a visit to Florence, especially for visiting sites on the opposite side of the river from the historic centre (such as Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens). The apartment is within easy walking distance to a wide selection of restaurants in the vibrant Oltrarno area of Florence. The property is exactly as promoted (accurate photographs) on the Booking.com site, so it met all our expectations. The host was very responsive to deal with a problem we encountered (when there was no running water to the apartment). Arrival and collecting the keys was trouble-free. The host was excellent at providing advance information to prepare us for arrival, complete with contact phone numbers and photos of where to locate the key lock box. The apartment is well outfitted with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including solid reliable wifi, and air conditioning for those steamy Florence summer days.

Contro: If you are planning a stay at Bardini Garden Apartment in the near future (as of Sept. 2024) be aware work is underway to repoint and repair exterior brickwork and roof tiles. While it doesn't interfere with anything within the apartment, be aware there is loud noise (drlling, hammering, etc.) during the day, six days a week. So there will be no sleeping in! 😁 The water pressure in the apartment is low which can make taking a shower a bit frustrating. It is a shame all the windows are nailed shut. It would have been nice to be able to open the windows to have the nice evening breeze through the apartment. The apartment could have been cleaner upon arrival. It was quite dusty (although that might have been a result from the brickwork being done on the exterior of the building).

Beautiful clean apartment in the ideal location to explore Florence.

Pro: Stunning apartment in beautiful building. Great location. Furnished nicely. Very spacious.

Contro: Nothing. Everything was great

A lovely very large and well located aprtment that was tastely decorated and furnished.

Pro: the apartment was huge and probably the biggest 2 bed apartment that we have stayed in. It was very clean with huge rooms......It was easy to get lost lol. The location was well positioned for most of the attractions and close to the Ponte Vecchio bridge and just across the road from the Bardini gardens. Most attractions are within reasonable walking distance. It also is equipped with high speed wifi. It is a traditionally styled apartment with some large furniture to suit the huge rooms. Another benefit was a modern lift to take you to the 3rd floor which was very welcome after walking around Florence all day.

Contro: When we arrived at the apartment, there was scaffolding outside and building work going on, on the floors below.....the apartment is on the 3rd floor. Initially the noise was intrusive on the day we arrived, but fortunately quietened down on the remaining days of our stay. We appreciate that older buildings will always require repair work or modernisation to be carried out, but it would have been nice to have been informed of this before we arrived, so that we could have had a choice?? As it happens we were delighted with the property and would have still booked it. We rated it as a 4 star property however if attention was carried to upgrade some of the kitchen features and also to some minor features in the bathrooms it would easily become a 5 star property.

Pro: Such a beautiful apartment!! We really loved the feeling we had of an authentic stay in Florence. A very short walk to the main area of Florence, we loved walking into town and around the area. We also loved the shutters that opened to reveal all the other apartments along the street and their views. The hosts gave us great instructions for how to get into apartment. Gorgeous place!

Contro: The key was a little challenging to get the hang of to open front door but once you figure that out you will be fine. One of the bathrooms smelled really bad so we just kept that door closed and didn’t use it.

Gorgeous old-style classical Firenze apartment

Pro: The apartment is gorgeous - huge, located in a centuries-old building, with antique furniture, clean and convenient

Contro: There were some issues at check-in, but they were solved reasonably quickly

Beautiful old apartment with everything you need at your fingertips.

Pro: Perfectly located for all major attractions and viewpoints. Large apartment with space to move around. Light, cool and airy.

Excellent luxurious apartment in the heart of Florence

Pro: The apartment is enormous, with luxurious antique furniture and situated in the heart of the city - very close to Uffizi gallery, Ponte Vecchio and Pitti palace. The host was very kind and let us check in early. There are numerous restaurants, coffee places and a supermarket close by. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend the apartment!

Great location, super square footage and solid amenities

Pro: Huge apartment for Florence-could sleep 8. Large eat in kitchen with larger refrigerator, separate living room with fireplace, separate dining room and bedrooms were up a couple of steps and away from main living areas for privacy and quietness. Elevator worked well and location convenient to all attractions in the Oltrarno area and the Ponte Vecchio. Will stay here again. Attentive staff, clean facility and a washer for ease in extended stays. Loved it!

Contro: Temporary construction work on Lungarno diverted traffic down Dei Bardi but should end soon.

Our second home in Firenze; we'll try to return all our trips

Pro: The apartment is spectacular, very spacious, very well furnished, you can live there for long time as at home

Contro: nothing, just simpler way to cast streaming to the TV
