A practical option close to the city centre, this apartment is a comfortable base for couples and families. It comes with all the must-haves – a compact but well-appointed kitchen, a living area with a sofa bed, and a cosy bedroom. There isn't a proper dining table, but a clever breakfast bar is where you can perch for meals. And the location is great for exploring. You can walk to the Basilica of Santa Croce, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and many other landmarks. A nearby bus also connects to the train station – ideal if you've got a lot of luggage.

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....
