Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re in search of traditional Florentine charm, this apartment delivers a great solution. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the Basilica of Sante Croce, while Ponte Vecchio and the Cathedral are less than a fifteen-minute walk away. Wherever the day takes you, this home makes it easy to disconnect and unwind. It’s worth noting the furnishings and decor are a little dated in parts, but it does have plenty of character and family-friendly rooms. There is also a sofa bed for two guests in the living room – making this a sweet option for groups looking to stretch out and spend quality time together.

Local guide
About Santa Croce
Santa Croce is a trendy, architecturally impressive neighbourhood that’s less busy than the Duomo or San Marco districts, but still in the heart of Florence. Home to the eponymous basilica, and the Casa Buonarroti museum, it’s located in the eastern part of Florence’s historic centre. The largest crowds have thinned out by this point, but if you stay here, you're still close enough to explore the whole city on foot....

Brave the crowds at the Uffizi
There's a reason it's busy – from Leonardo and Botticelli through to Rembrandt, this is one of the most important collections of European art in the world.
Pay respects at Basilica di Santa Croce
Many of Florence's most eminent citizens are buried in the Franciscan church, including Galileo, Machiavelli, and Michelangelo.
Get a coffee at Caffè Le Murate
A combination of a bookshop, a cafe, and a gallery, this arts centre is housed in a former prison, but these days the vibe is slightly different.
Relax in Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio
A serene park in the heart of the city, Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio offers a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike. Open to the public, it's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
Indulge in gelato at Gelateria dei Neri
A classic gelateria in Florence serving a wide variety of delicious gelato flavours. With generous portions and a velvety smooth texture, it's a must for gelato lovers.
