This handsome apartment is nestled in the historic centre of Florence – making this a great base from which to explore the city. You’ll be just a stone’s throw from Piazza Santa Croce and Piazza della Signoria, while the Duomo is also within easy reach. Take your pick from a diverse selection of local restaurants and cafes, or savour the comfort of dining at home. There is plenty of socialising space across the living room and there is a private terrace – a nice perk in this central location. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living but this is a handy option for families travelling with kids.

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....
