Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The location of this apartment is impressive. It’s a stone’s throw from the Arno and a short stroll from the Uffizi Gallery, with major attractions like Piazza della Signoria ten minutes away on foot. You’ll have countless restaurants and cafes nearby and you’ll also have a well-equipped kitchen, should you prefer to dine in. The apartment features frescoed ceilings but is otherwise simple in style. It’s a comfortable base that’s perfectly positioned for visiting Florence.

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....
