Holiday rentals near Piazza Santa Croce

The apartment is very central and faces a beautiful old church. It is lovingly decorated with thoughtful provisions covering all one needs for a stay. Simona is a great host always and offers a perfect balance of privacy and help with inquiries if needing knowledge/support. Simona booked a taxi for help with my luggage and this was a much appreciated act of kindness. Florence is very busy since I visited 10 years ago. However due to this apartments proximity to many districts it’s a good base for early morning or late evening cultural visits when the crowds are distracted with sleeping or dining. The increased tourist crowds in Florence can make it incredibly noisy even for a city , but this apartment is tucked away on a relatively quiet street given its central location , which is much welcomed . The added use of a terrace with character is the bonus feature for warmer temperatures and if the temperature drops there’s a lounge with great character. The apartment has great security and being central in a city feels safe. It is easy to walk to Oltrano and the gardens across the river for nature and calm . Its final bonus is the easy walking distance to quieter areas of Florence where the company of locals is refreshing and offers a more authentic off the beaten track option to the main sights.

Apartment is in a perfect location and was spotless. We were met by the neighbours who checked us in and gave us some local info. Thanks

Perfect for us. Didn’t trouble the cooker or dishwasher, local food is great, lively environment.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is set over 4 floors, so you need to be OK with steps. All 4 bedrooms were spacious and had a small but practical en-suite shower room. Bed 4 is on the top floor and there are steps down to the bathroom which is not ideal for a midnight 'visit', but one just needs to be careful. We had the rooms made up as doubles but some of them can be twins. There is a cosy lounge area but we spent most of our time on the enclosed terrace which is bright and airy. There is a small but well equipped kitchen, with everything you need including a Nespresso machine. Cris, the owner, speaks (and writes) excellent english and she could not have been more helpful and hospitable. She was always available on Whatsapp and went out of her way to make our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable. She is a star. The location is superb, being along a narrow side street just 30 yards from the Basilica Di Santa Croce, one of the big attractions of Florence. There are numerous bars and restaurants within a 2 minute walk but they cannot be heard from the house. The Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Museum area are an easy 10 minute walk through the cobbled streets. The Florence Cathedral is about 20 minutes away. Lot's of other things are also within easy walking distance. All in all, I have no hesitation in recommending this property. Thanks again Cris.

Day and night views over the rooves to the Duomo and Santa Croce, San Miniato, and the Palazzo Vecchio. Hearing bells and catching the breeze. Inside light and airy, comfortable with all you might expect.
