Apartments in Florence?
 

Can anyone recommend a reliable apartment company in Florence? We found one for Venice, but can't seem to locate anyone for Florence.<BR><BR>We would prefer to get a flat, rather than a hotel room, to save money on meals. We are also not looking for anything fancy, just &quot;run of the mill&quot; is fine.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.<BR>

<BR><BR>We found a great one through Vacations Abroad. They generally have pictures. <BR><BR>

Hi Statia!<BR>We had a great experience in May 2002 with &quot;Windows on Tuscany&quot; (www.windowsontuscany.com). We rented a very nice two-bedroom, two-bath apt. a couple blocks from the Duomo. WOT was easy to deal with and everything was as advertised.<BR>Buona fortuna!<BR>-Mark

I found an old thread with great responses on this topic which should be helpful for you:<BR><BR>http://fodors.com/forums/threadselect.jsp?fid=2<BR><BR>My reply has links to at least half a dozen rental sites, and there are several others as well. To find more like this, text search &quot;apartment and florence&quot;.

Go to slowtrav.com to read reviews of rentals and rental agencies in Florence.

Just noticed the path to the thread I was talking about doesn't work. My message from it is as follows&quot;<BR><BR>&quot;Author: Lesli ([email protected])<BR>Date: 01/02/2002, 05:18 pm<BR>Message: I used a service called lodging.it to rent an apartment in Florence for 2 weeks a couple of years ago, and was quite satisfied. Their website is at: http://www.lodging.geoide.com/<BR><BR>It has lots of choices, with photos, and I found the rates at the time I was looking to be better than those on other sites.<BR><BR>However, alternatives are:<BR>http://www.natipoltri.it/<BR><BR>http://www.italy-rentals.com/<BR><BR>http://www.travel-italy.com/ (&quot;villas&quot; in &quot;cities of art&quot;)<BR><BR>http://www.charmingflorence.com/<BR><BR>http://www.venice-italy.co.uk/english/firenze/inglese.htm<BR><BR>http://www.homebase-abroad.com/&quot;<BR><BR><BR>

Thanks for all the replies! I've submitted rate requests to all of your suggestions and I will wait to hear back. We have, however, already received a response from an owner with Vacations Abroad that we're very interested in. Thanks again.<BR><BR>BTW Lesli, I found your post and the site...thanks. I'll also check out the other ones you mentioned.<BR><BR>Anyone else?<BR>

Mark,
we're renting thru windowsontuscany for a week at Christmas. Which apt. did you rent?
