This contemporary penthouse with a view of Brunelleschi's dome delivers space and practicality in equal measure. Bedrooms are set apart across two levels, while over in the living area, a sofa-bed offers a more flexible sleeping set-up. There’s also a well-equipped kitchen to rustle up cosy meals in. Although with bustling wine bars and trattorias just moments from your door, we suspect you’ll be eating out. Don’t miss a nighttime stroll past the Duomo (just five minutes away). It's a magical place to be when the crowds disappear and the lights come on.

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....
