If you're in town to experience the cultural life in Florence, then you won't find a better location than this. You'll have Teatro Verdi and Teatro la Pergola nearby, as well as some of the city's most lauded cafes and restaurants. The design of this apartment is eclectic and modern, with a few older furniture pieces thrown in the mix to create a warm and homey feeling. Even though Ambrosia Square is a full-time rental, it's got a sense of style that takes it above the average home, and we loved the view of the historical square below.

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....
