Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Moments from Florence’s favourite spots, this apartment places you right in the heart of it all. You’ll be within easy walking distance of landmarks like the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery and the Ponte Vecchio, as well as of course, streets lined with Italian restaurants and cafes. Back home, you’ll be welcomed with high decorative ceilings and traditional shuttered windows. Both bedrooms are well-sized and inviting – though one has the added perk of a private balcony – while the open-plan living space is perfect for unwinding. One will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge, but with Florence at your fingertips, who can complain?

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....
