Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Sitting on Borgo Pinti, a quiet historic street lined with independent shops, cafes, and small art galleries, this apartment puts Florence's greatest hits within easy reach – the Basilica di Santa Croce is a seven-minute stroll, Piazza della Signoria around eight, and Ponte Vecchio a thirteen-minute walk. Exposed wooden beams give the interior a distinctly Florentine character, while air conditioning and underfloor heating keep things comfortable whatever the season. The main bedroom connects to an en-suite marble bathroom, and a generous living room with books and games makes it easy to decompress after a day among the Renaissance masterpieces.

Home truths
The apartment is on the second floor of a historic building with no lift, so you'll be carrying luggage up the stairs on arrival and departure.
Wi-fi signal is strongest in the living room – a couple of guests have found it weaker in the bedrooms, so factor that in if you plan to work or stream from your room.
This host collects tourist tax separately from your booking payment. 7 days before check-in, your host will send you a link to pay the tax.

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....
