Some may say Paris is the city of love, but we think Florence gives it a run for its money, and nothing showcases the Tuscan capital’s romantic side quite like this home. Beautifully carved wood and traditional brick create a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the space, with the crimson couches inviting you to snuggle down and watch the sun go down over the view. And what a view; the tiled roofs of the historic Santa Croce neighbourhood lie beneath you, with church spires rising high into the cloudless sky. The floor-to-ceiling windows mean there’s nowhere in the home that misses out on this unforgettable cityscape, but if you want an even closer look, all you have to do is step out onto your private terrace. Pop open a bottle of local wine and raise a glass; to love, to Florence, and to a return visit soon.

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.
Dine like a local at La Giostra
Experience the intimate and classy yet relaxed atmosphere of La Giostra. Indulge in Tuscan dishes, including the famous Florentine T-bone steak, paired with a selection from their extensive wine list.
