Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
On the top floor of a medieval building, Acorn really makes you feel like you’re in Florence. It’s the sort of setting that couldn’t be in any other city in the world (there’s even a view of the Duomo from the bedroom window). The flat itself isn’t huge, but there’s easily enough space for four people, and the terrace makes the world of difference, particularly in the warmer months, when it seems like the perfect place for an evening aperitivo.

Home truths
You'll have to take the stairs to the fourth floor, as there's no lift in the building
The kitchen's fine for simple meals, but it doesn't have an oven, nor are there any laundry facilities in the flat
When we visited, we weren't able to test the wi-fi speed
There's a glass wall separating the second bedroom from the living room – there's also a heavy curtain for privacy, but it's still worth knowing about

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....

Brave the crowds at the Uffizi
There's a reason it's busy – from Leonardo and Botticelli through to Rembrandt, this is one of the most important collections of European art in the world.
Pay respects at Basilica di Santa Croce
Many of Florence's most eminent citizens are buried in the Franciscan church, including Galileo, Machiavelli, and Michelangelo.
Get a coffee at Caffè Le Murate
A combination of a bookshop, a cafe, and a gallery, this arts centre is housed in a former prison, but these days the vibe is slightly different.
Relax in Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio
A serene park in the heart of the city, Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio offers a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike. Open to the public, it's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
Indulge in gelato at Gelateria dei Neri
A classic gelateria in Florence serving a wide variety of delicious gelato flavours. With generous portions and a velvety smooth texture, it's a must for gelato lovers.
