About this property

Unparalleled panoramic rooftop views & complimentary wine for all guests!


Charming is certainly the word that best suits this house .
Located in the heart of Florence , surronded by the Santa Croce church and the Signoria square , discover a rare rooftop apartment that offers a truly magnificent view of the city . The flat is located inside a wonderfulhistorical building which was the house of the embassy of the Duchy of Milan during the 15th century . It is situated on the 4th floor ( 86 steps without elevator ) but once you reach the top the full 360° breathtakingview will leave you speechless .
The property has undergone a recent renovation to further enhance its endless beauty and traditional 15th century features . This new look has refreshed both the downstairs and upstairsmaking the apartment even more cozier and confortable for guests to enjoy . The original red terracotta floors now shine white and some of the antique furniture has been re-modelled to achieve a more modern and stylish approach .
The flat develops on two levels, on the first floor you can find the bright and spacious master bedroom with en suite marble bathroom and shower , and a second bedroom which can be either double or twin . Both rooms are boast charming views over the red florentine rooftops . A second bathroom with shower can be found too .
A charming staircase leads you to the even more " romantic " second floor . This is a truly unique and fascinating space that hosts a lounge , dining area and a fully equipped kitchen . Nine incredible windows , spread all around the room illuminate and offer a breath taking view of Florence 8 Palazzo Vecchio , Santa Croce , The Duomo.... , without forgetting the two exclusive panoramic terraces , furnished for unforgettable outdoors meals and for simply enjoying a glass of wine whilst admiring the mesmerizing views . Guests can also organize cooking class , dinner with chef and any culinary experience to bring back home with nostalgy .
All the materials used for the construction of this apartment are unique and original , dating back to the 15th century : the pavements are made of florentine terracotta and the ceilings of wooden beams. The apartment is exceptionally convenient for guests wishing to explore the city centre and visit Florence's main attractions . No need for a car , bus or taxi ! You can enjoy this wonderful city , all is within max 10 minutes by walk . This is a prime location for sightseeing and entertaining, the area is vibrant but very safe and has plenty of shops , restaurants and theatres all very close. The apartment is absolutely quite, up here there are only birds singing and tower bells noises. It’s a magical place!!
The apartment is also located two blocks far from one of the best italian restaurant: the famous Enoteca Pinchiorri.

The Perfect Apartment in Florence
This is a lovely apartment in a prime location in Florence. The bedrooms are on the smaller side, but have plenty of storage space for unpacking and storing luggage. Waking to the many bells in Florence is just wonderful! The second floor is really the best part. Quite comfortable with two gorgeous balconies and great views, and a very well equipped kitchen. We cooked at home several nights, and had the house chef prepare a meal (fee based, well worth it) one night. There is a clothing washer, no dryer, but a large drying rack is provided and there is plenty of room on the first floor to place it. The apartment is indeed 93 stairs from the ground to the first floor, which is not for the faint of heart. We are a very fit family and it definitely ensured we didn’t forget anything when we went out for the day! The location is wonderful - so close to everything. The house manager also helped us arrange a driver for a day trip to Siena and to a winery for a lunch and wine tasting. It was a highlight. We highly recommend Santa Croce.

Fantastic Location, Views and Host
Just finished a three night stay with our two recently adult children. The property is in the middle of a bunch of great restaurants and less than 15 minute walk from anything you have to see in Florence. It also has 360 views off the two decks of the Florentine skyline. Erika was a welcoming and responsive host and made the trip very easy. Highly recommend.

Great location with concierge-level service
This property is in a fantastic and safe location in the heart of Florence. Tastefully remodeled apartment in a 15th century building. A very cool and comfortable place. Literally cool - A/C worked great. There was ample complementary wine/spirits and a well-equipped kitchen. But the best part is the service - I felt like I had a private concierge, and the check-in instruction was exceptional. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay in Florence at this apartment. The location was convenient to everything while still being slightly away from the crowds. The apartment and views are beautiful and true to the pictures. And crucially for a July visit, the air conditioning was more than adequate.

Hi Erika, I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful stay at such an enchanting city…Florence. You and your staff should be commended on your service and attentiveness to all our inquires and requests. Forgive me for not remembering the porters name but wanted you to know he was excellent. Our driver Massimo, who you recommended, was great, a true professional. Again thank you for a memorable stay in Florence.

Great location, amazing views, perfect latout
All of Florence is viewable from the stunning view from every window of this amazing property, and lots of sites are within a 5-10 minute walk in any direction. We loved our stay! The bedroom/bathroom configuration worked perfectly for our two couples, and the kitchen/living area upstairs was perfect for meals and relaxing between travels across town and into the Tuscan countryside. The hospitality was terrific…we appreciated being greeted with wine and porter service, and the notebook full of insights about things to do and places to visit was helpful. We hope to be back again after a memorable stay!
