When the warm Tuscan sun shines on the rooftops of romantic Florence, the view from this home's balcony looks like a work of art in itself. Live la dolce vita, spending idyllic warm evenings drinking fine Italian wines and savouring the views. Inside, high ceilings, muted tones and bright vintage-style artworks provide a stylish retreat to relax in after a day exploring this magnificent city. We love the sheer luxury of the marble bathrooms – this is a material you'll see throughout Florence, from Michelangelo's statues to the impressive cathedral. This compact city is jam-packed with treasures, and most are a hop and a skip from this centrally located apartment. When you're ready for a spot of sightseeing, you can start by admiring the intricately decorated façade of your apartment's grand building. Then enjoy a leisurely afternoon stroll through the narrow cobbled streets, passing by elegant palazzi and stopping to shop at chic boutiques. Or visit the world-class museums of Uffizi Gallery and Bargello National Museum, both six minutes on foot, while Piazza del Duomo is just over a ten-minute walk.

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.

Turn the pages at Libreria Brac
A bookshop, a vegetarian restaurant, and a bar – you could quite happily spend all day at this hidden gem.

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.
