About this property

Fully renovated, stunning luxury in the magnificent Santa Croce district

There's no better place in the world than Tuscany--centuries of history, the world's most outstanding wine, pasta perfection and the friendliest people. Our luxury apartment is located in the city center of Florence in the famous Santa Croce district, only a few minutes from the Duomo. Out the front door, guests will have access to numerous local restaurants, the best museums and incredible shopping. Plus, our home is situated in a lively, yet safe, area of Florence where locals gather in the piazza throughout the day to enjoy the weather and get caught up on life. It's a perfect place to hang out and take in the local ambience.

The apartment itself has been recently remodeled and furnished with new, designer goods. Guests will have access to a beautiful new kitchen with seating capacity for two around the island. A microwave and four-burner cooktop provide everything guests will need to whip up a great meal, and there are ample cookware and utensils. There is also a wine frig for those incredible Tuscan delights purchased during the day and ready to drink at night. Just off the kitchen is a dining area with seating for up to six. Steps away is the grand living room with lovely vaulted ceilings and a view of the piazza. All our furniture has been custom-designed locally in Florence and will provide a comfortable place to unwind after a day exploring Florence. Down the hallway is the first of two beautifully appointed bedrooms and a full en suite bathroom. Then, up a short flight of stairs, guests will find two additional areas. First is a fantastic "office" space for those needing to put in a few hours for work. We've selected a comfortable couch as well that can be used for reading, relaxing, or taking an afternoon nap. Next is the second bedroom with its fully-appointed en suite bathroom. Both bedrooms have room darkening shades to assure a restful sleep, and we've outfitted each with a queen-sized bed and elegant 600 thread count sheets. Both bathrooms have showers, toilets personal sinks.

Our apartment features all the important amenities guests might need to make there stay comfortable including wi-fi. We also installed a brand new washer for laundry. Please note there is no dedicated parking for our building. There is also no elevator--our apartment is on the third floor.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautifully decorated and clean apartment that was perfect for two couples. The location is excellent as we could walk to most everywhere we wanted to visit in 20 minutes or less. The communication from the local property manager was excellent. There are 61 steps to get up to the apartment, but we knew that going in and it wasn’t a problem for us.100% recommend and we’d definitely stay again on a future visit.

Everything in this apartment is prepared for a fantastic stay. Accommodations are perfect for traveling couples, each with a private bathroom and separated by a second level floor. Appliances are new, decor is light and bright, and location is just steps away from the highlights of Florence. Added plus--property manage is welcoming and professional. Can't miss with this property. Note to travelers: there are 61 steps from door to unit.

Lovely, spacious two level apartment in a great location. Very walkable to museums and all of the historical sights. Everything in the apartment is spotless and new. It had beautiful furnishings with no details overlooked. Just be prepared that there are two very long staircases with no elevator to reach the apartment.

Stunning property at an ideal location in the Santa Croche area of Florence!

Stayed for two weeks and loved every minute of it. The location is within walking distance of everywhere you want to see in Florence. The apartment does require you to walk up about sixty steps but you adapt quickly. We felt pampered by all the amenities, especially the washer/dryer convenience! We highly recommend this place and hope to come back someday.

Beautiful apartment perfect for my husband, myself and two 20 something daughters. Walking distance to most everything Florence has to offer. Truly a beautiful respite from the crowds in Florence. Note of caution there are approximately 60 steps up to the apartment. I would not recommend for elderly, handicapped or disabled.

A wonderful stay in Firenze

Our 3-night stay at Debi’s home was amazing. The apartment was beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and very comfortable. It was in a quiet neighborhood but still within walking distance to key sights. Both the check-in and check-out processes with Federica (property manager) were flawless, and she was very responsive and accommodating. Be warned, however, that there is no elevator, so be prepared to walk up/down 4 flights of stairs. It was definitely good exercise! If we come back to Firenze, we will definitely stay here again! Grazie to both Debi and Federica!

Best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at

This was our first time in Florence and this apartment was absolutely perfect for 2 couples. I thought the pictures looked cute but this apartment is even cuter in person. It was very clean and was clearly updated with a decorators touch. The location is great, a short walk to the Duomo and lots of great little restaurants and cafes near by. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Debi Barish

Host profile image
Doug and I live in Laguna Niguel, California. I own a successful design studio and retail furniture business. Doug is retired from the medical field but is a full-time adventurist, traveling the world for sport-fishing, scuba, and other crazy activities.

Why they chose this property

Over the years, Doug and I have visited Italy many times, and we quickly fell in love with Florence. Who wouldn't? We love the Tuscan countryside and can't think of a more stunning place to live/visit. We've always been drawn to the Santa Croce district given it's collection of historic buildings and quaint neighborhoods. And the multitude of local restaurants, bread shops and wine bars provide a convenient opportunity to walk out the front door and into the real Florence lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

We think our apartment is truly special. The location is perfect and offers an opportunity to enjoy local living in a lively, safe neighborhood with the easy access to all the great tourist sites Florence offers. Inside, we outfitted all the rooms with comfortable, stylish furnishings but we retained the local and historical decor (e.g. crown moldings, flooring, layout). It's a place we can't wait to come back to and are delighted to offer to our guests.
