Steps away from the impressive collections of the Stefano Bardini Museum, this bright apartment is in a cultural hotspot. Close to other galleries, the Pritti Palace and the iconic Ponte Vecchio, this home connects you to the best of historic Florence without shying away from the new – find trendy bakeries and cafes within walking distance. Though it might feel a little more spacious with just four guests, it can accommodate six by folding out the sofa bed in the living room. That would mean that not everyone has a seat at the dining table, but that's a small compromise to make for the location.

Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.

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....
