Found a short walk from the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and closer still to the market of Sant'Ambrogio, this apartment is ideal for getting around Florence. But it doesn't just tick the box on a central location, it also has all the modern charm to make a family stay comfortable. Though little ones might need supervision on the stairs up to the loft the rest of the home is all on the same level. Upstairs is where you'll find the laptop-friendly workspace and a breakout zone teens might enjoy. It could do with a little more natural light to highlight the exposed beams, but it's still cosy and well-kept.

Home truths
Parking in Florence can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
There's a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on work during your stay. It can be found in the loft area accessed by a flight of stairs.
Toiletries aren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own. If you want to stock up on arrival, the nearest supermarket is minutes away.

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....
