The open marble kitchen offers utmost independence and beautifully blends into the living space. Large windows allow for amble light and an incomparable setting.
The elevator takes you up to the 6th floor and there's one flight of stairs to reach the 7th floor. Surrounded by luxury boutique hotels, plenty of bars and restaurants are a stone throw away. Parking (Lungarno Garage) is located on the opposite side of Ponte Vechio, about a 5 min walk away. There's a large supermarket right on the other side of Ponte Vecchio.

It feels great to exit this quiet oasis and be immediately emerged in the feel and buzz of historic Florence.

About Karin Honsberg
With the help of a renown interior designer, my husband and I have lovingly renovated this beautiful and light apartment and we are renting it out to world-wide guests that enjoy traveling in style. Having worked all around the world in the luxury hotel sector, we know what guests expect and need to truly enjoy their stay. My husband is Italian and I am German.
Karin Honsberg purchased this apartment in 2013
Why Karin Honsberg chose San Giovanni
It has always been our dream to own a property in Tuscany and especially in Florence. The beauty of this part of the world is overwhelming. We have lived in Florence for over three years, decided to buy our dream apartment next to Ponte Vecchio and have lovingly renovated it. The location is perfect and every part of the city can easily be reached within no time. In May 2013 we started renting it out to trusted guests.
What makes this apartment unique
Location - the three terraces with blooming flowers and a lemon tree, plus views of the whole city - the warm light that falls into the apartment during the day. The apartment is luxuriously furnished, light, quiet and very clean. Its biggest draw is the unbeatable location right next to Ponte Vecchio and its interior design.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We usually have a few helpful suggestions, but in your case you have really thought through everything we needed, from the soft towels to the laundry supplies, to the Nespresso pods etc., those things made it easy to get acclimated. The design & quality of your property is apparent to anyone who has owned or designed a resort property. We hope to stay with you again! If you are ever in Southern California please let us know!

Exceptional!

Beautiful and convenient!
This apartment was absolutely lovely! It was spotless, comfortable, beautifully appointed and in an incredibly convenient location. We could walk to every attraction! The terrace with views over all of Florence was the icing on the cake! We absolutely loved our stay and would most definitely go back!! Highly recommend!
Why I return to Casa Ventura
When Karin, the owner of Casa Ventura, showed me around the flat on my first visit, I suspected that leaving at the end of my stay would be painful. As is evident from the photos, Karin has decorated the flat in a clean and contemporary style, but it isn't austere and generic, it's warm, comfortable, and has plenty of personality. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned, with beautiful en suite bathrooms. The kitchen is well laid out, and has everything you need to prepare proper meals. In addition to the comfortable eat-in counter in the kitchen, there is also a large terrace with a full-sized table (and an umbrella for shade) to enjoy meals outside.
We so enjoyed being in the flat that we often returned to eat lunch and dinner there. And on our most recent visit, when the skies opened up with rain, we were perfectly content to stay in, make a coffee, and enjoy the flat. Leaving the keys on the hall table and pulling the door closed behind me when I leave is always painful.
Karin's experience managing five star hotels shows: making a reservation is effortless; the flat is immaculate; all the linens are gorgeously crisp; and there is ample light for reading (I've been puzzled by the number of places I've stayed in that lacked proper lighting for reading). Staying in a flat can be a significant expense, and you want to feel confident in your choice. You will not regret choosing Casa Ventura for your holiday--you will find, as we do, that it is an excellent value.
Superb
Of the many vrbo,s we have stayed in this is at the top of our list. Well appointed,,spotless, gracious hosts, unique in how quiet and private each of the bedrooms were in relation to each other as well as the surroundings, access to all in florence with ease. Karen,s reccomendations for eating, visting and touring the area above and beyond expectations. My only hesitation in writing a review of this sort is selfish in that her place may not be available next time. I would have no hesitation in going to any property of karen.
Perfect choice - Casa Ventura
We (two couples) loved everything about our stay at Casa Ventura. The location is absolutely perfect; the apartment is modern and very attractive; the hosts are extremely helpful. Florence is an amazing city with so much to do. The apartment was the perfect choice for exploring and savoring the city. We could walk everywhere. There are lots of great restaurants close by and a grocery just over the bridge. The views from the balconies were delightful and my photographer husband got some great pictures. The apartment is very cleverly arranged and makes amazingly good use of all the space. Great experience. Nothing but postive feedback.
Five Stars
Five Stars! The apartment with its central (and yet quiet) location offers a rare panoramic view, combines privacy and comfort, and matches Florence in beauty, elegance and charm. In short: Just perfect for a wonderful and relaxed week in Florence. We also greatly appreciated Karin´s advice in preparing our journey and look forward to staying again. Highly recommended!
Unsurpassed location and convenience
Casa Ventura, an immaculate apartment in the heart of Florence, is the perfect spot from which to enjoy this amazing city. From the beginning, Karen was extremely helpful. She arranged transportation from the train station and later to the airport. She also connected us with an amazing personal tour guide, and even made dinner reservation upon our request. The apartment is a study of elegant efficiency. All the spaces are perfectly designed to maximize space and utility. Motorized black-out shutters provided privacy and darkness at night, throughout the apartment. The 360 degree views from the top terrace were amazing, and an ideal place to enjoy the sunset! Mere steps from Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi, and Palazo Vecchio, all of Florence is at your fingertips! We loved staying here and hope to return soon!
