Apartments in Florence Italy
 
Always used hotels....however would like to try apartment...If I can afford it would like to take daughter and grand-daughter (now 22).
Any experience with this ?

When are you traveling? I'm in the process of booking an apartment recommended by someone on Fodor's. They stated they plan their trips around availability of these apartments, but I imagine I'm staying in one smaller than they had. I will be traveling in a couple of weeks. What's your budget?

We will be staying in this apartment in September. It is reasonably priced, in an excellent location and as we have viewed the apt. previously we can recommend it.

I to am sorry to report after adding cost of flights for all of us, i just can't afford trip right now....Which is really upset as I have some increasingly health problems that limits my ability to travel.. I will enjoy reading the discussions and continue to dream....

If you find an airfare deal and decide to go, this is the apartments I've booked.

I based my decision on Tedgale's trip report. If you aren't familiar with his reports, click on his screen name to read others, but here is the one about these apartments.

If you were looking at flights in/out of Florence, they typically are more expensive. Try Pisa (can be seasonal Delta out of NY), Rome or Milan. All are within easy train/bus rides to Florence. You can book discount train tickets in advance.
