Area Description

This is the perfect apartment for those coming on holiday to Florence, would also enjoy a little taste of the old life and the ancient traditions of Florence.


The area around Santa Croce is full of tiny streets where you can find craft shops, framers, restorers and antique shops, but also restaurants and taverns with inviting menus full of classical Italian dishes. The apartment is located in the Santa Croce district on the eastern edge of Florence's historic city centre. The area gets its name from one of the city's most remarkable churches. The Santa Croce neighbourhood 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 attractions such 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. By night, Santa Croce becomes one of the liveliest parts of town and with its pedestrian only 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.
