Situated right in the bustling heart of Florence, this apartment sits ready to welcome you with open arms. Offering two bedrooms and expansive living space with a cosy L-shaped sofa, this is a great base from which to explore this vibrant city. The undisputed highlight, though, is the terrace, boasting spectacular views of Florence Cathedral and the surrounding rooftops, as well as an outdoor sofa and seating. When you’re ready to venture out, the Cathedral is just a ten-minute walk away – or go in the other direction to walk along the picturesque Arno River.

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....
