If sightseeing is on your to-do list, this apartment is more than ideal. Florence's landmarks are within easy reach, from the red-domed Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (ten minutes on foot) to the hallowed halls of the Uffizi Galleries (fifteen minutes away). Plenty of shops and eateries are nearby, too. As for the apartment itself, you'll find it on the fourth floor of a building without a lift. The living space is cosy and modern, boasting a sofa bed for two guests. There's a galley-style kitchen, a compact bathroom, and a pair of comfortable bedrooms. We think it's a convenient option – if you don't mind steep stairs, that is.

  • This apartment is on the fourth floor of a building without a lift. The stairs are steep and there are a lot of them.

  • The bathroom is on the smaller side.

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....
