This apartment boasts an enviable position in Florence in an historic palazzo in Piazza Santa Croce.

What more could you ask for?

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.
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.
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.
