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....

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.
Pay respects at Basilica di Santa Croce
Many of Florence's most eminent citizens are buried in the Franciscan church, including Galileo, Machiavelli, and Michelangelo.
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.
