From the moment you arrive at this graceful two-bedroom apartment, you are taken back to a bygone era of Florence. In keeping with the city’s Renaissance art and architecture, this home is an unaltered celebration of baroque styling and Florentine furnishings. Culture-seekers will love the authentic living area, with beautifully aged wooden tables, warm chandelier lighting, and quaint floral paintings. Each room is filled with old-time charm, courtesy of the many antiques dotted around, and the homely touches carefully applied throughout. We love the comfy and stylish bedrooms, both of which are accompanied by pristine marble bathrooms, and the beautiful mezzanine area is a great place to sprawl out and unwind in the evening. With the Basilica di Santa Croce on your doorstep, you’re surrounded by the delights of Florence in this prime location. Spend your days exploring this glorious city, with the knowledge that this warm and cosy nest awaits you.

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.
