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 Historic Center
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!

Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -
(43 traveller reviews)
Stunning property. Great location. Great views. Well maintained.
We loved staying here. The location is close to everything. The views from the terraces were stunning. The place has been updated. Importantly, the air conditioning worked great in very hot weather. Karen was so helpful and accommodating. We will be back!
Delightful!!
The apartment was delightful. So convenient to all parts of the city. My favorite was the terrace off the living room for morning coffee and evening wine.
I wished the upper terrace would have had chairs. Other upper terraces did, but we were told it was not allowed.
The AC was throughout and worked beautifully if you didn't go above 20c.
Karin and her daughter, Jana, were most helpful.
I thought it was a piece of heaven!! Such fabulous memories!! Will definitely return.
Absolutely fantastic!
The apartment is all you expect from the photos and more. The location is fantastic and Karin, the owner has thought of everything. We took our two college aged daughters and it was perfect. We will come back!
A Safe Haven in the Heart of Florence
From the moment we booked Casa Ventura, Karin was totally accommodating and helpful. When we arrived, she was there to cover every detail that would make our 3-week stay comfortable and fun. There were in-depth notes on how everything worked in the apartment and a book full of great suggesstions and descriptions of nearby places to eat. For the few times that we had questions or needed assistance, Karin quickly responded and helped with whatever we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and a great place to prepare your favorite meal. The location of the apartment just off the Ponte Vecchio couldn't have more convenient to all the sites and was close enough for us to go in, catch our breath and start back out again. Thanks, Karin, for making our stay at Casa Ventura such a pleasant experience.
Beyond Expectations!
Our family of five, including three teenagers, spent three nights at Casa Ventura. This is the rare case where reality is better than the pictures. Florence was our last stop after Rome and Venice. Casa Ventura was a highlight in an entirely magical trip! The location is perfect and the views are incredible, but the thoughtful amenities are what really stood out for us. The high quality sheets, bathroom toiletries, nespresso and coffee makers, books, outdoor grill and washing machine were luxuries we did not have in other high-end apartments. To top it off, I forgot my hanging clothes, which Karin shipped to me. I can't say enough - we are hoping to return to Florence and Casa Ventura very soon.
What an exceptional experience!
I agree wholeheartedly with the other exceptional reviews of Casa Ventura. We've just returned from a two week stay. The flat is simply gorgeous and the views from the terraces are fantastic. When Karin finished giving us a tour of the flat, I had terribly mixed feelings: I knew I would love stay there, and I also knew that leaving it would be painful. We so enjoyed being in the flat that we often returned to make lunch rather than eat out. I don't think any of the reviews have mentioned that the flat includes an exceptional selection of books spread throughout the flat. I'm not referring simply to guide books--though there is a comprehensive selection of those. Instead, I was struck by the discerning selection of books (and exhibit catalogues) on Fifteenth and Sixteenth Century Florentine art, as well as books on food and design. Leaving the flat was indeed painful, but I so look forward to returning.
