Centuries-old charm meets contemporary indulgence in this glamorous hideaway in the heart of Florence. Gaze out from your private balcony at the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio, unwind in the bathroom jacuzzi, or retreat to the master suite for a sauna session in total privacy. The interiors blend bold design, ornate detailing, and rich Italian elegance. Think Carrara marble, antique art and a modern fireplace for cosy evenings in. You're steps from Florence’s iconic sights but cocooned in quiet comfort, thanks to soundproofed windows and luxurious bedding. With a private chef, wine tours, and transfers on offer, every moment feels effortless.

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....
