Tucked away on the top floor, this enchanting home in the heart of Florence has plenty of authentic Italian character. Skylights are dotted around the original beamed ceiling, dousing the parquet flooring in rays of sunshine. The rustic, Tuscan interiors provide a lovely space to come back to after a day exploring the city. Relax on the roomy sofas with one of the books from the shelves, or hideaway in the quirky elevated nook above the kitchen to watch your group test their skills at the pizza oven. Dining alfresco has never been easier with the outdoor kitchen and barbecue on the terrace. If you’d prefer to sample to local cuisine (and who are we kidding), you’re just a two-minute walk away from Piazza Signoria. Most of the city's most famous attractions are within walking distance, including Ponte Vecchio, Basilica of Santa Croce, and Accademia Gallery – which means you are perfectly placed to make a quick stop back home to watch the sunset over the rooftops with a bottle of Tuscan wine.

Home truths

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....

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.

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.
