On a typical street, lined with period buildings, this charming loft home is a real retreat from the city. Comfortable and homey, it's just a short walk from all the major attractions, with the Basilica of Santa Croce just steps away from its door. Once you've climbed the stairs (and there are a few to deal with here), you'll be rewarded with a beautifully modernised apartment with ancient beamed ceilings and a combination of period and contemporary styling. The open-plan living space has twin windows overlooking the street, and you'll have everything you need to cook at home and eat at the dining table. Perfect for a couple or a solo traveller, but also offering a sofa bed to increase the guest count, we particularly love the olive green bedroom.

It's not the brightest apartment we've seen
Children aged two and over are considered adults when booking this apartment – there are no cots or high chairs provided

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....
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
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.
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.
Indulge in gelato at Gelateria dei Neri
A classic gelateria in Florence serving a wide variety of delicious gelato flavours. With generous portions and a velvety smooth texture, it's a must for gelato lovers.
