Located in the Sante Croce area of Florence this beautiful apartment is in a Century old building - a classic example of late medieval Florentine Renaissance architecture. The apartment is located in the Santa Croce district on the eastern edge of Florence’s historic city center. The area takes its name from one of the city’s most remarkable churches. The Santa Croce neighborhood provides a rare glimpse of “old” Florence with lively markets and tiny leather and artisan workshops, including the flea market (Mercato delle Pulci) at Piazza dei Ciompi. The Mercato St. Ambrogio, the city’s second main food market after the Mercato San Lorenzo, is within close walking distance too. Furthermore, the area is just a stone’s throw from some of the city’s main cultural attractionssuch as the Bargello Palace, which houses one of Italy’s most important museums, the Casa Buonarroti, (the former home of Michelangelo), Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio, not forgetting the magnificent Santa Croce church and museum. You will also enjoy the largest selection of boutique shops, bars and typical restaurants and pizzerias within the city. Three of the finest and most expensive restaurants, Cibreo, Pinchiorri and Alle Murate are located nearby. There is also a good choice of mid-priced options. By night, Santa Croce becomes one of the liveliest parts of town and with its pedestrian streets and illuminated buildings it transforms into the perfect venue for an after-dinner glass of wine or evening stroll. For those choosing an apartment in this area Santa Croce offers several food stores, supermarkets, laundrettes and individual gift shops as well as being adequately served by the local public transport service.


The building is now home to 8 upscale apartments thanks to a recent restoration which has skilfully combined modern comforts and quality furnishings whilst preserving the building’s original historical features. This apartment (2045 sq. ft) has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and can sleep up to 8 people. It is split on two levels. Upon entering the apartment opens out into a beautiful spacious and elegant living-room with antique coffered ceilings, two comfy couches and three large windows. Doors from the living room lead to the guest toilet, the dining-room and the modern, fully equipped kitchen. The main door off the living room leads to the fiirst double bedroom (with beds that can either be joined or separated upon request) complete with en-suite bathroom with shower and spacious closet, the second double bedroom which boasts superb 15th Century frescoes, original coffered ceilings and splendid blue satin curtains (with beds that can either be joined or separated upon request). Next to this bedroom is a bathroom with bathtub. To complete this floor there is the third bedroom with two single beds (the beds cannot be put together) and third bathroom with bathtub. On the upper floor guests will find the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower and walk-in closet, the small laundry room and a storage area. The apartment boasts wonderful original cotto floors, wooden coffered ceilings and original frescoes. Ideal for families or a group of friends, for short term rentals.
