Stay in the cradle of Italy's art scene at this enchanting, plant-filled apartment. All of Florence's most romantic spots are just moments away, from the Gothic-style Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore to the Uffizi Gallery's collection of Renaissance masterpieces. Walk the narrow cobbled streets and feast your eyes on the city's plethora of architectural achievements, knowing that when you tire of landmark-hopping, your characterful retreat awaits. The two-bedroom home makes a strong case for eclectic decor – your hosts have used a heavy hand when placing plants and paintings around the apartment. The resulting space carries oodles of charm, with plenty to look at and feel inspired by before you've even delved into Florence's art world. The high ceilings and arched doorways give it a feeling of grandeur that's rare in the hub of a city. On the sun-soaked balcony, you can enjoy a pocket of peace in this cosmopolitan destination as you sip your morning espresso.

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....
