Background:
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. In the entrance hall, in the center of the vault and on the front of the gate, there is the family crest.
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.

I booked Palazzo Bucciolini in Florence for 2 weeks as my family and I were visiting my granddaughter who is doing a study abroad in Spring 2025 in Florence.The entire family was thrilled with the location, ambiance, comfort and class of the Palazzo. The smaller self contained apartment comfortably slept 5 with its own bathroom/kitchen so my granddaughters/friends claimed that room! We had a chef come in one night to cook dinner and the dining area accommodated all of us. The extra bathroom on the mezzanine was very nice to allow for getting ready to go out. The location was exceptional in that it was a neighborhood with plenty of restaurants/services close by but without the density of the tourist areas. The beds/linens were high end and very comfortable with an adjustable radiator in each room (AC in summer).Piazza Santo Spirito at the end of the street was our local meeting area with cafes, restaurants, a rooftop bar and an assortment of markets on a daily basis. Finally, the reservation process and communication prior to arrival were outstanding and the check in with Eleanor was perfect with all questions being answered including a couple of follow ups during our stay.My family and I loved the time spent together in a beautiful palazzo in a wonderful city. Thank you to Federico, Erica and Eleanor for sharing your beautiful home. We will return if/when the next grandchild studies in Florence.Best regards,Bill Kelly and Family

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.
