Views of two famous Florence churches await at this apartment – the green-domed Synagogue and the iconic red-roofed Duomo. From wooden beams down to Florentine Cotto floors, there's plenty of character here, too. Some rooms are a tad dated (particularly the kitchen) and there's no lift in the building, so expect a climb to the third floor. That said, you're in the centre of the action here. It's the perfect base for sightseeing, as many of the city's well-known landmarks are only a short walk away.

Home truths
This apartment is on the third floor of a building without a lift. You'll need to climb about fifty steps to reach it. It may not be the best option for guests with limited mobility.
We think the kitchen is a tad dated. It's also compact, making it a better fit for light bites.
You won't need a car in this area. Instead of driving, explore on foot – many of the must-see landmarks are within easy walking distance.

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....
