It's not just a hotel room, it's an experience.
Loved the Bob W experience!
Super friendly place, located a few steps from Ponte Vecchio.
It's not just a hotel room, it's an experience. We had lots of gifts, like cookies, a tote bag, and a pack of instax (really loved this last one)

In love with Bob
I love Bob W and the staff, the accommodation is simply the best. With the luggage room you have nothing to worry about the check-in or check-out (early or late, they also have super friendly fees) the bed is ultra comfy, there is a lot of space to acomodate 4 people and the ammenities are fun and easy to use. The gym is small but the attention is great and you can continue the basics of your routine.
To get to the location is very easy but also is one the best areas in the city, within walking distance to beautiful views, important spots in the city and local shopping.

Week with Bob
My wife and I loved this room. There was a great amount of space, our lives were made much easier by the washer/dryer, and we felt very comfortable staying nearly a week.
There area of town is very noisy, so expect to hear street noise during the night. We got used to it very quickly. If you're sensitive to noise bring some earplugs and you'll love this place.
The balcony also offered a welcome oasis from the bustle during the days.
Contactless check in was smooth as well. Elevator was small but very smooth. we were on the 6th floor, but usually used the stairs. Everything well maintained

What a great home away from home.
Bob W thinks through about little things from leaving out coffee and snack, tote bag for grocery shopping, yoga mats, to Polaroid camera for us to share our great stay with others. Great customer service and communication before and during the stay. The apartment is clean and well equipped. We also live the location. I would look for Bob W in different locations on our next vacation.

We loved staying at the studio, everything was great! Beautiful little terrace, great location, lovely team and good facilities. The only thing was the bed was very hard, but that might be a preference thing!

Bob W’s apartment in Florence was the perfect accommodation for our stay. Located a stone’s throw from the famous Ponte Vecchio, it provided shelter from the hustle and noise when we needed it. The charms of the apartment start a with the elevator. It is very unique and fun to travel in. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable. We were able to cook a couple meals in the apartment with ingredients bought in the Central market, only a short walk away. The extra little touches like the coffee and the biscotti was appreciated. Can’t wait to visit this or another one of Bob W properties.

Apartment was spacious, well equipped with dishes and everything we needed. Bed was to firm for us but that is a personal preference and staff was very helpful with providing a pillow top to make the bed more comfortable for us. Really close to shopping and lots of restaurants. Enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Florence Apartment
We absolutely LOVED our stay in Florence and will seek out other BOB W properties throughout the world. The property was perfectly located within walking distance of everything yet very wuiet. The amenities including power adapters, usb ports, and a washer/dryer were much appreciated. 6’3” 23 year old was happy on sofa pullout and the king bed was very comfy. Even though there is no front desk we felt very well taken care of. Appreciated leaving our luggage for a few hours after checkout while we did some last minute exploring. Zero complaints. Perfect.

The location of Bob’s Villa is excellent! It is close to all the major attractions, transportation and grocery store. Our daughters were extremely happy with the condition of the villa, the spacious rooms. The kitchen made our stay even more enjoyable as we’re able to purchase groceries and make snacks when needed. Having the washer dryer to do laundry in our apartment was amazing. Walking in the heat, you end up going through your clothes faster than expected! I would definitely recommend Bob’s Villa to anyone!!!

We had a wonderful time in Florence. Our apartment was clean and we had everything that we needed. It was just a short walk to where we wanted to go like the uffizi gallery, academia gallery and the ponte vecchio. The place might be a little harder to find because there is no big sign of the apartment/hotel. But just follow the instructions/directions that they will send on how to get there and you won’t have any problems.

The perfect location in the center of it all!
This is the perfect location in the center of all the action!
The premium room sleeps 4 comfortably as the apartment is very spacious, beautifully decorated and working AC!
Really felt comfortable and had all the amenities. Bob’s communication was perfect and he was always answering when needed.
The elevator is not always working so be ready to carry some luggage. Once checked out, they have a luggage room for you to keep your bags until you are ready to go!
Overall? Couldn’t be any better. Will be staying with Bob again!
