Wonderful, spacious property, full of character, giving us plenty of room for our party of 7.
The location is fantastic, in a vibrant but not overly busy local neighbourhood with plenty of nearby bars and restaurants. It is also a short walk over a bridge to the busy centre of Florence, so therefore it’s also a comfortable place to get back to quickly when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Would definitely stay there again.

Easy to find, walkable from the train (though a bit ambitious at 25 minutes with luggage). Host communicated well and space was large and clean. Walked to everything in Florence. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about this property. It is huge and really lovely. The ceilings are so high you feel like you’re staying at a palace. The floor plan is open to accommodate groups comfortably but also gives enough areas to hide away when you need a break. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay at Petra Elegant in Florence. The location was perfect for us and there was lots of room for everyone. The kids especially loved the entrance to the building…. It is a bit like a castle! We had everything we needed to enjoy our 3 day stay. A couple small maintenance issues with the shower in the second bathroom but nothing serious. We would definitely stay here again.
There are really good restaurants just a few steps away and a grocery right around the corner. We walked to all the Florence attractions.
The church and piazza del Carmine are lovely, don’t miss the church as it is just outside your door.

Perfect for our family of six. The apartment was extremely comfortable and beautiful and in a great location. The kitchen was great, we cooked our own Christmas dinner. Overall it met and exceeded our expectations. The Christmas decorations were very much appreciated !!

The perfect place for a family reunion. The space was perfect for the six of us. The location was outstanding-so much to see and do (and shop and eat...). The check in process was flawless. Great communication. Great restaurant recommendations from the woman who checked us in. Thank you!

Petra Elegant made us all so happy. We had a fantastic location , space for the five of us, light and views from every window, air conditioning, and a full kitchen. Two bathrooms , washing machine, large dining room, and luxurious space to spread out in. One of our favorite thrills was being on the Square, and hearing the bells from the chapel. We would love to return. Thank you. grazie ! Ciao!

The apartment itself (layout, comfort, spaciousness, location) is a definite 5 out of 5. Easy walking access to all of Florence's wonders while avoiding the throngs of tourists. Having lived in Florence, I can honestly say that Oltrarno (San Frediano, Santo Spirito) is the ideal spot to stay for your holiday. 4 incredible pizzerias within a 5 minute walk of the apartment as well of a slew of the best restaurants in Florence south of the Arno river.
The only suggestion I would make for the apartment is to include more essentials. There is a dishwasher but no dishwasher tabs or liquid. We had to purchase a 15 pack of tabs for a 5 day stay. Most places will include at least 1-2 tabs. We had no tea towels, paper towels or napkins. There is an oven but no tea towels or oven mits or tongs. We had to use our bath towels to remove a roast from the oven. Little details would have made a better overall impression.
As mentioned, however, the apartment itself is quite wonderful as a whole. I would recommend it for a larger group.

Charming and comfortable. AC worked great! Loved opening the windows to get the fresh morning breeze , birds singing, and the church bells chiming while eating breakfast. Food market, restaurants and gelato close by. A retreat away from the busy city. Would definitely stay again.

Great roomy property, true to pictures. Only issue was the second bathroom had a glass shower door that seemed broken and did not cover the space to the top of the tub, so floor got really wet. Other than that, great apartment.

As advertised, a beautiful apartment right in the heart of Florence. Great location to be close to all the sights, but away from the busy tourist areas. More than enough space for our family of five. Would highly recommend!

This property had a lot of space and was located within walking distance to restaurants, gelaterias, bakeries, shopping, etc. We had one issue with the air conditioning which we were using at night. It's loud to leave the windows open, and the rooms to get warm even in October. Every 5 minutes there would be a banging sound coming from the wall of the air unit. We ended up having to not use the air, open windows, and deal with the noise. The host did tell me they were going to hire someone to fix this issue.

This was a comfortable spot in a convenient walking location. Every bedroom was used, as were the kitchen appliances, and dining table. We all would return! The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with, throughout our stay. The AC in one bedroom was a little loud for that occupant, and the keys took some time and jiggling to get doors open, but everyone appreciated HAVING AC, and loved the place. We would stay here again, and found it beautifully located within walking distance of coffee, breakfast, Culinaria (for dinner - highly recommend) and all the must-see sites in Firenze.

Great location and apartment, maintenance issues
This is an outstanding property for visiting Florence. We have stayed in several locations and this is one of our favorites to explore from - quiet and good restaurants and short walk to Ponte Vecchio.
The rooms were comfortable and good places to sit. Showers were good and AC worked well. Lots of space to have a larger group. Washer worked well. Check in was excellent and host was responsive. They have an outstanding guest book and recommendations.
Only concern was that there was a loud intermittent buzzing noise near the AC unit in one bedroom. It made the room unusable to sleep in, fortunately we only needed three rooms. The host tried to get a maintenance person to come but they could not come in the short time we were there. In addition the WI-FI was spotty the first day - new setup, but settled out. Signal not strong in the living room but fine in dining area.
I fully expect that the issues will be resolved and highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful Santo Spirito apartment
We loved this apartment! It was perfect for our extended family, grandparents, parents, and 3 children. And such a great location, away from the touristy areas, but close enough to walk every day over the Ponte Vecchio! Edoardo was so helpful during the planning of our stay and responded promptly to a couple requests we had. We would recommend this beautiful apartment to everyone and would certainly stay there again. Thanks so much Edoardo.

Lovely stay in Florence
We were a group of 7 adults and found the accommodations were perfect. Edoardo was excellent in corresponding with us before our arrival. The location is excellent as there are numerous coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores in the neighbourhood. The property is beside a church that must be visited even though the exterior is very unassuming. We crossed the bridge every day to visit many shops and stores on the other side of the Arno river. It was a good walk and a great way to start the day. We would recommend this property without hesitation.

Fabulous Florence
We had a great stay and enjoyed it immensely however 1 set of keys for 5 people was not very practical. More instructions about how to work the washing machine would have been good and one tab of dishwashing cleaner was not enough, we had to go out and buy more, and coming from abroad was not something we brought with us. But overall the location was fab it was extremely clean and we enjoyed it

Beautiful and spacious apartment in a great location!
The five adults in our party really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful apartment. The bedrooms were comfortable and the living space was great for relaxing after a long day of sight seeing. We were able to walk to all the sights of Florence and enjoyed the convenient restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. Check in was easy and though we had a problem with the washing machine, with a call to the owner it was easily resolved. We would definitely stay here again.
