With space for a large group and a terrace overlooking the Duomo, this pet-friendly penthouse within the historic sixteenth-century Palazzo Gino Capponi is a rare find in the heart of Florence. Each bedroom comes with its own en-suite, giving every guest a sense of privacy, while the front-row Duomo views from the living room are hard to rival. You’ll also have access to the palazzo’s private gardens for slow morning strolls, though the city itself is right at your doorstep – with the Duomo around a ten-minute walk away and the Santa Croce neighbourhood nearby for aperitivo, wine bars, and some of Florence’s best street food.

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....
