Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This charming apartment is located in a 19th-century palazzo in the Santa Croce district of Florence. Though it’s a little traditional, we think it fits its surroundings, and more importantly, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. With both bedrooms being en-suites, it’s a great place for sharing with family or friends, while also maintaining your privacy. Thanks to the home’s central location, you’re near the Uffizi Gallery and plenty of small shops, cafes, and restaurants. If you’re looking to accommodate a larger group, there are more apartments in this building which you may be able to rent together.

Home truths
While one of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. One of the double beds can be divided into twin beds upon request.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.

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....
