About this property

Beautiful Apartment near Santa Croce Basilica

807,29 sq. feet. The apartment has been recently renovated. Perfectly located in the historic centre of town, walking distance to all main sites of Florence (Santa Croce, Duomo, Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio and Piazza Signoria, Ponte Vecchio and more). It can host up to six people. Two large bedrooms (double or separate beds), two bathrooms (one with shower, one with bathtub), a living room with a sofa queen bed and a fully equipped kitchen (fridge and freezer, oven, dishwasher, microwave). Very confortable, full of light and spacious.
Washing machine, iron and ironing board. Air conditioning and WI FI in all rooms.
You can ask for a cot and high chair for your baby. It's on the third floor (38 steps), no lift. There are few steps inside the apartment so elders and little kids should be careful.
If you arrive by car, I suggest you to book a garage in advance because we are in a restricted traffic area. Otherwise you won't have access to Via Pepi. I can book a garage for you, we have a discounted rate at garage Fiesolana or Garage Verdi.
If you arrive by bus the stop is on Via Ghibellina, very close.
Check in after 3PM
Check out before 10AM
Late check in upon request
You are kindly requested to leave the apartment as clean as possible, wash the dishes and throw away the garbage. Please, take care of it as if it's own own place. Pay attention to energy and water saving not leaving lights and air conditioning on when you are out. In Italy are very expensive.

Hello Angela. Sorry for the misunderstanding. We provide a set of towels for each guest as stated in our welcome message. But anyway , did you ask for more during your stay? Because we are not so strict. Did you mention that the dryer was not working because we checked it works so maybe it was just the condensation drawer that needed to be emptied. Again sorry. This is the reason why we consider communication very very important

Excellent Location

Loved this place. The apartment was clean, the air conditioners worked great (which was very necessary in July), and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The location right off of Piazza Santa Croce was perfect. Great restaurants near by and easily walkable to the Uffizi and Accademia Galleries. Daniela was great, very helpful. Highly recommend.

Excellent location near great food

We had a great stay! The location is on a quiet street well in walking distance to all the sites. The space was large for our family of 4 and the beds were fantastic. There is a fantastic place for breakfast about 100 feet from the entrance of the apartment. When you exit turn towards the Santa Croce Piazza and it’s right on the corner. Amazing pastries and coffee. Checking in was a breeze and the kitchen was fully stocked. We really enjoyed the stay. And the air conditioning worked :)

My husband, daughter and I stayed at this apartment for 5 nights. The apartment was everything the pictures and the reviews said it would be. Very comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, extremely well located! Clean as a whistle and super well renovated! Daniela is extremely responsive and very accomodating. We liked meeting and chatting with Sheila, her daughter. We enjoyed this place a lot, and would recommend it to anyone that wants to have a wonderful time in Florence.

Home away from home, great apartment!

This property is a great apartment. It is beautiful and has such a perfect home away from home feel! It has everything that is necessary when traveling, such as washer, dryer, coffee pot, and more!! The kitchen is great for cooking. The bedrooms and bathrooms have plenty of space, are rather modern, and the whole place is kept very clean. Another benefit of this beautiful apartment is Piazza della Santa Croce located steps outside the front door! The landlord is also incredibly kind and responds to any needs or questions you may have promptly.

The apartment was absolutely lovely, and Daniela was wonderfully responsive and easy to work with. We were warmly welcomed by Lavonia, who stayed in touch with us throughout our trip to make sure everything went smoothly. The apartment itself was immaculate—clean, cozy, and very quaint—with comfortable beds that made for a great stay. The location couldn’t have been better. Just at the corner is a fantastic little café serving delicious scones, espresso, cappuccino, and café lattes at very reasonable prices. The neighborhood was friendly and inviting, and only a short walk away is the beautiful Santa Croce Basilica, where you can see the tombs of Galileo, Machiavelli, and Michelangelo—truly breathtaking. Behind the basilica, you’ll also find the historic School of Leather. The square at the end of the street had everything we could want: charming restaurants, gelato shops, unique little stores for souvenirs, and even water fountains. The area was lively during the day but quiet at night, perfect for both exploring and resting. Everything was walkable and close by, making it such a convenient and enjoyable stay. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Daniela, for a phenomenal experience!

Great apartment right in the middle of everything

Have to say, its more like arriving at a hotel than an apartment, Nico who greeted us was very professional and walked us through the apartment, how everything worked, including how to contact him and even where the best supermarkets are. The devil is in the details as the phrase goes, and the details were certainly taken care of, down to umbrellas in the entry hall should it rain. The apartment really is fantastic, great views, high ceilings very well decorated and modern appliances and a/c. Be warned, there are stairs - but there are always stairs in Florence! Location is amazing, literally 2 minutes walk (at the end of the street) is the Piazza di Santa Croce and the Basilica di Santa Croce - from there you can easily walk to any of the famous locations in Florence, restaurants are near by . . . all in all, the perfect place to stay & would definitely recommend and come back to

Excellent apartment and excellent host

The apartment was spacious, spotless and looked just like the pictures on the site. The kitchen is large and equipped with everything that we could need to make either a quick coffee or a full meal. The apartment is close to every site, so we walked everywhere and a short taxi ride to the train station (that distance is walkable as well, but with the luggage and the kids we opted for the ride). There is a taxi stand around the corner and a bus stop down the street. Daniella is a perfect host. She responded to all the message, including the original inquiry within hours and with details, was there to greet us when we arrived and came back later that day when we couldn't figure out the cold water in the kitchen. On the third day of our stay the heat and hot water malfunctioned, she responded to our message right away and took care of everything while we were exploring the city and by the time we came back everything was back in order. We felt comfortable and cared for. We'd definitely stay here again.

Florence in September

This home would have received 5 stars except for the following: - The Keesy app required was cumbersome - For 4 adults, a couple of extra living rooms seats would be more comfortable. There was one couch only. Perhaps a loveseat or a couple of Ikea lounge chairs? Also, a coffee table in front of the couch would have been convenient. - The washer and dryer...Well, the washer worked but it was super tiny, we could fit maybe 4 articles at a time, and the dryer didn't dry our clothes at all. - The one bathroom is very small with no counter/storage space. - We had no A/C the first night but this was remedied the next morning - The two full flights of stairs were not easy with luggage The items mentioned above are minor and just for information. The apartment is lovely and we had perfect communication with Danielle and Ruben, and a great time in Florence!

The pictures show exactly how the apartment is set , included the one and only sofa which is a sofa bed that wound be impossible to open if there were two more lounge chairs . There are two, even three , more small armchairs. The fit easily in the room and provide enough comfort for a short rest . We assume that our guests know that this is a touristic apartment, it would be different if a family needed to LIVE there permanently. The information about the second floor is written in the add , not hidden. The washer is small because there wasn’t enough space for a bigger one unless sacrificing space for living . The dryer works (we know it because we’ve had people living there recently for 6 months) . We would have been happy to show you how if we’d known. To avoid having the coffee table in the middle of the room, we’ve put it on the left hand side of the sofa but each guest can place it wherever he wants, we don’t get upset fir minor changes. Overall, I ‘m glad you enjoyed your stay and I thank you for giving me the occasion to be even more specific about the setting of the apartment. This would certainly help our future guests Kind Regards Danieka

6/10 Okay

comfortable and pleasant

This apartment has been carefully renovated. The bedrooms are large, and the two bathrooms have heated towel racks and modern lighting. The kitchen for me was the best room in the house, full of light, spacious and very well equipped. There are a couple of downsides: there is no place except the kitchen table to work, or use the computer. The bedrooms have small tables, but not big enough to accommodate a notebook and dictionary. The other downside is the Santa croce area. It has become the place for young students to find housing, and the noise of their partying goes on every weekend till three or four a.m., often in the building and invariably in the surrounding streets. So if you are a light sleeper it is difficult to get rest. The building does not have an elevator and this apartment is on the second (European) floor, which means the third American floor. There are about 38 steps, so if mobility is an issue, this might not be the best choice. There is a good supermarket 5 minutes away, and an open air market about 12 minutes away, open from 7 a.,m. to 2 p.m., with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. The central piazza of Florence is a 15 minute walk away. I can't say enough good things about the landlady, Daniela. She is extremely helpful, takes care of problems immediately, and responded quickly to all my emails when we were discussing my tenancy. The apartment comes with washing machine, ironing board, a drying rack (no dryer), dishwasher, and a TV for each bedroom.

Dear Diana, thanks for your review. It's very precise and detailed. You are right, the area of Santa Croce has become very busy and noisy but it's still one of my favourite. About the apartment, in the close future we are thinking of installing double glazed windows for soundproofing in order to facilitate our guest's rest. Thanks again.

We accommodated some days in this apartment (2 adults and 2 children) and our experience was great. Very comfortable and well equipped, better than the webpage shows, it has all you need. Well located, you can go on foot to the most typical places of Firenze and feel the atmosphere of Santa Croce’s quarter, a very quiet place and out of the noisiest tourist areas. Daniela and Ruben were always very attentive with us offering all we needed. Yes, recommended!

Great location in Florence

We enjoyed the apartment immensely. Plenty of room for us and our son ( & wife). When we opened the windows, it was quite refreshingly airy. Location is the best, just steps to Piazza di Santa Croce. This made navigating the city and back easy as we just had to find the piazza and were back to the apartment. Thank you allowing us to stay at your place. Geralyn & Michael

About the host

Hosted by Daniela Lioce

Host profile image
I'm from Puglia, in the south of Italy and I've been living in Florence for more than 30 years. I love travelling with my family or friends, exploring new countries and lands or visiting Art museums. Most of all, I adore the ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Of course, I love Florence: the town I chose to live in and where I chose to grow my children.

Why they chose this property

I bought this apartment as an investment for my 28 y.o. daughter, Sheila. In fact, she chose the apartment and when we refurbished it, she chose everything: the tiles, the furniture, the colors. I'm very proud : she did a great job also choosing old pieces of furniture in thrift stores or in our old attic, giving them a new life and mixing them with contemporary goods and useful devices. Sheila made it a nice place to live in, very comfortable for families with kids, elders, group of friends. It's very versatile.

What makes this property unique

When we saw the apartment (after having seen at least other 30 places), we decided strait away that we would take it. The location is half away from my apartment and Sheila's: this allows us to be there within few minutes if needed. There are windows in every room (this is not granted in Florence) and both the kitchen and the living room look over a nice and quiet garden. The apartment is spacious and it allows the two rooms to get enough privacy. There are two bathrooms and the night area is separate from the day area from a door.
