Located in Florence’s central Santa Croce neighbourhood – just a four-minute walk from the Basilica of Santa Croce – this welcoming apartment has everything you need for a memorable stay in the city. Tall ceilings, wood floors and minimalist yet stylish furnishings set the scene in this compact yet comfortable home. We love the beamed ceilings that add a touch of Old World charm here, as well as the carefully selected artworks on the walls adding a homey feel to the proceedings. The two bedrooms – one of which is up a flight of stairs on the mezzanine floor – are ready to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep after a day of touring the city, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower promises a relaxing start to any day. When it comes to exploring, walk ten minutes to Piazza della Signoria or visit the famous Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, a fifteen-minute stroll away. You’re also a twelve-minute walk from the Uffizi Gallery, while beautiful Ponte Vecchio is fifteen minutes on foot from your door.

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....
