The 'Palazzo Bucciolini', which takes its name from the family, who already owned the 'Palazzo Bucciolini, formerly Pitti', bought it in the mid-nineteenth century, a time when Florence was the capital of Italy.

The frescoes date back to the mid-18th century. As in many historic buildings there is no lift, but there are 22 steps to get to the apartment.
The street where it is located, Via delle Caladaie, owes its name to the boilers of the Arte della Lana which were numerous in the Oltrarno area and which were used to heat the pools for dyeing the clothes.

We decided to tack on three days in Firenze to our family vacation, after a week in the Tuscan countryside. It wasn’t an easy feat (with 8 people ranging in age from 14 to 77) to find a place that would be accessible and comfortable for everyone. This home was perfect. There was plenty of space, sufficient privacy, and facilities which allowed us remain comfortable and rested throughout our aggressive enjoyment of the city.
The space is absolutely gorgeous and reminiscent of earlier times, which added to our experience. It is near to major sightseeing and plenty of delicious food and shopping, so we walked everywhere. Management was very accommodating and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. I would absolutely return and recommend the home to our Firenze-bound friends.

My wife and I rented 3 apartments in Florence as an inducement for our extended family to travel to Italy. This apartment played a pivotal role in that process. The only small criticism was it was very hot in Florence and the air conditioning system was not functioning properly. Portable systems were put into service, however although this made the bedrooms of one of the apartments liveable the regular air conditioning was not available until the day before checkout.

There were 10 of us, ages 18 - 76. The apartment is an old palace and the murals on the walls are beautiful. It has AC, but some of the rooms were rather warm. But considering the recent heat wave, still doable. There is not a supermarket close, so pick up extra toilet paper or take it. Ice was also a problem with 10 people but we kept making it, storing the ice and making more. The location is great. We would highly recommend this apartment.

We loved every moment spent in this wonderful VRBO! There were 10 of us family members enjoying a visit with our granddaughter who was enrolled in school for a semester next to a building close to the Dumo. This VRBO certainly met our needs and the Wine Trip was outstanding! The Wine Trip was sponsered by the manager of the VRBO. The apartments are beautiful and gives the illusion of staying in an art museum. We absolutely enjoyed every moment spent in Florence.

This property is in a lovely neighborhood with easy 2 block to the Pitti Palace. Lots of space and the AC works! Property management was easier to communicate with and responsive. The only negative was a cigarette smoke smell from the cleaners that faded over the 1st day. Beds are European firm. All in all, the reviews are accurate.

We loved our recent stay at this flat in Florence. It was conveniently located and beautifully decorated. It was basically two apartments that had been converted to one so had one bedroom located in a different section from the others.

We totally enjoyed our stay at Palazzo Bucciolini - the 2 apartments were perfect for our family group of 13 & the pristine shape of the frescos & apartments overall were impressive. We arrangef for a dinner at the flat, by Chef Alessia and it was delicious!! And the wine from the family winery was perfect for the occasion. The flat location was also perfect for our sightseeing in Florence & dsy trips by train from SMN station. A wonderful 4 day stay in Florence.

The apartment was incredible, a real gem! It was breathtaking to say the least in every detail. Spacious and inviting, There was plenty of room and the frescoes all around are truly mind blowing. The kitchens had everything you needed to prepare a meal. Eleonara met us and provided us with lists of restaurants and happy hours that came in so handy. The apartment was in a good location and everything was within walking distance. Hope to come back some time! Thanks!

My big family spent some days in Federico’s Palace and we had an amazing time! The apartment is huge and furnished with everything you could need. The location also is really good. It’s in a quieter and more authentic Florentine neighborhood with fewer tourists while still being chock full of great restaurants, bars, bakeries. And it’s only a few minutes walk from the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi. Perfect - close to everything we wanted to do. Thanks to Federico for a fantastic stay!!
