This pad is in a quiet spot, within walking distance of some of Florence’s main attractions, including the Duomo, Piazzale Michelangelo, and Ponte Vecchio. The open-plan living area is at the heart of the home, boasting a dining table, sofa, and small kitchen. While the setup here won’t suit everyone – it’s on the third floor without a lift, and the second bed is accessed via a ladder – the combination of a quiet location and a central address is hard to beat.

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....
