This apartment boasts an unbeatable location in Florence, overlooking Piazza Santa Croce and boasting views of San Minato al Monte from the kitchen. It’s a traditional Italian home so you can expect heavy wooden furniture, artwork depicting Italy in the past, and tiled floors. The star of the show is undoubtedly the terrace, where you can sip cocktails as you take in the view. Seeing the sights is a breeze from this central setting – the Uffizi is a seven-minute walk and the Piazza del Duomo is only eight minutes away on foot.

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....
