AT HOME SANTACROCE, Florence

At Home Santacroce sits in the real heart of Florence, just one minute from the Basilica of Santa Croce and surrounded by historic landmarks. A weekend market is held nearby, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The location is exceptionally walkable, with most attractions, restaurants, and shops reachable on foot within a quarter-hour walk. Florence Airport is 11 km away, but the central position means airport transfers are straightforward by taxi or tram. Public parking is available at a garage a short walk from the building (€26-€35 per day), so car-based travel is manageable but not ideal for parking in the immediate vicinity. An ice-skating rink is also within walking distance.

The apartment features a living room with seating and dining area, plus a fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine. Both bedrooms are generously sized; one has a king bed and the other a double bed. Two private bathrooms include showers and bidets. The unit is air-conditioned throughout, soundproofed, and parquet-floored, with city views. Amenities include a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, washing machine, ironing facilities, safe, and free toiletries. The decor is modern, tasteful, and consistent with the photographs, creating a clean, quiet atmosphere suitable for families or groups. The lift to the third floor is handy for luggage and everyday use, and the apartment is allergy-free throughout.

Dining at At Home Santacroce centers on self-catering convenience: the kitchen is well stocked with cookware, utensils, and appliances, making it easy to prepare full meals in-house. For dining out, the immediate neighbourhood offers a concentrated cluster of restaurants. Bottega Vasari, Bisteccheria Santa Croce, Club Culinario Toscano da Osvaldo, and Fermino are all about 0.5 km away, specialising in regional Italian dishes. La Prosciutteria (0.5 km) and Andersen Cafe (0.5 km) provide additional casual options. Wine/champagne is available on request (additional charge) for those preferring to enjoy drinks in the apartment.

The apartment offers free Wi-Fi throughout, with secure key access and a safety deposit box.
