Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This apartment feels every bit a Tuscan countryside villa with its original sixteenth-century ceiling beams and terracotta tiled floors—and the expansive living-dining space agrees. But believe it or not, you’re in the beating heart of Florence, right on the Piazza di Santa Croce with balcony views of the Franciscan basilica. The first thing to do then is live like the locals and get to work in the compact farmhouse style kitchen cooking up hearty Italian meals. Dine with friends on the veranda, accompanied by several bottles of the region’s red and views beyond the rooftops of this stunning Renaissance city. When it’s time to explore, you’ll find the Bargello National Museum and Ponte Alle Grazie bridge with its unbeatable Florentine panoramas less than a five-minute walk away. Plus, you’re surrounded by a whole host of trattorias, aperitivo bars and cafes should you fancy dining out.

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....

Brave the crowds at the Uffizi
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.
Get a coffee at Caffè Le Murate
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.
Dine like a local at La Giostra
Experience the intimate and classy yet relaxed atmosphere of La Giostra. Indulge in Tuscan dishes, including the famous Florentine T-bone steak, paired with a selection from their extensive wine list.
