Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Croce, Florence

A beautiful spot in a great location of Florence. Everything is in walking distance, from the train station to the Academia to the Uffizi, this is an excellent place to stay. We are a family of four and we arrived to find the pull out couch nicely made into a bed for our children. The place was spotless as well! The host is super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

I wish we could give more stars! A wonderful place with even better hosts. Delightful hosts and a beautiful location. We could not have hoped for more.

This was an extremely cute apartment. It really felt lived in which was such a nice change of pace. We felt right at home. Agnese's instructions were super clear and we had all the information we needed. The apparent itself was super spacious and we had lots of space to relax. The location is extremely central, everything we wanted to see was very walkable from where we were. We had a lovely stay!

The apartment was very nice and well located for the main attractions. we walked everywhere easily.

Lorenzo was an exceptional host. Very attentive, thoughtful, and full of great local recommendations. He checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. If I could rate this place 15/10, I would! We had a rental car, and the location couldn’t have been better, just a 10-minute drive to everything, with convenient parking right in front of the house. Plus, the garden was absolutely stunning

This place is absolutely stunning! Alessandro is the most amazing host- very flexible with our late check in and early leaving time- even brought us a cappuccino at 3:30am before we left! Couldn’t recommend more- we will definitely be back- thank you for the most amazing stay!

This was the perfect Airbnb for Florence. Walkable from train station. Great location to the Duomo and the square. Loved the space of the studio apartment and if you’re needing to do wash on your trip you have that option. For a couple it’s a wonderful place to stay.

Great base to explore Florence with all the amenities you need. We really appreciated all the coffee pods! Matteo was an excellent host, accommodating an early check in and booking us a taxi. The house is a 20 minute walk into the tourist spots, which is further than you think in the Summer heat! Recommend eating/drinking in the local bars rather than across the river, it’s a great neighbourhood. Santarosa Bistrot and Piazza Santo Spirito were our favourites. Highly recommend!

We stayed here in 2016 and it was even better than we remembered. A beautiful apartment, quiet and private, with amazing original features. The area is residential and round the corner is San Ambrogio food market. Lovely local restaurants all use fresh ingredients from the market. Wonderful evening in a street filled with locals enjoying food and drink. We could have spent the whole time exploring the locality.

I had a wonderful time staying at Caterina’s! What a charming apartment! The patterned tile floor was particularly beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and noise from the nearby piazza did not keep me up. With the doors and windows closed, I got very good sleep. I had a restful stay. The air conditioning in the bedroom, the refrigerator, the freezer, wifi, and washing machine work well. When I had trouble starting the washing machine, Caterina dropped by to help me get it going. Grazie ancora! Caterina is friendly, resourceful, and responsive - an excellent host. I would happily stay at Caterina’s again!

Such a lovely home! Very charming, tidy and clean. The location was perfect if you want to stay a little further from the busy city center but close enough to walk. All the decorations and furniture were clean and charming. The kitchen had everything the two of us needed. We made breakfast and dinner in the rental. My 18 year old daught slept on the pull out and said it was comfortable. My favourite part was the view out the window from the table. I will definitely return!!

Book this airbnb if it is available during your stay! Alessandro could easily take more money for the breathtaking view. it had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our own dinner, everything was clean and welcoming. Alessandro was a great host and had a lot of tips for the city. 10/10!

David's place was beautiful - just like the photos, it was a little piece of luxury right in the middle of Florence. Note there are two flights of stairs up to the apartment but once inside, everything is so comfortable! The location is located close to the Uffizi and the ponte Vecchio (~10mins) and also walkable to the Duomo and surrounding area (~20mins).

Mariangela’s apartment was lovely. Perfect location, beautifully done with everything you need. We stayed for 2.5 months and it felt like a second home to us. Closed to amazing restaurants, open markets, grocery stores and easy walk to Florence beautiful sites and this amazing cities neighborhoods. Quiet neighborhood. Mariangela and her team were always responsive and lovely to interact with. We are planning on returning next year.

This was my favorite place I stayed while in Italy! Beautiful apartment with a wonderful little deck to sit on and enjoy morning coffee or a glass of wine! You can literally see Santa Croce from the balcony. It was quiet, had a lovely little nook for sleeping and the bathroom was pristine. It also had all amenities for cooking. My only regret is that I was unable to go to Simone E Filippo's restaurant in the country, next time! I would stay here again! They were so nice letting me leave my luggage and even helped me carry up and down the stairs.

Outstanding choice for a visit to Florence. Paolo is an outstanding host and provided pre trip information to prepare for our stay, while meeting us at check in for an introduction includng history and all we needed to know about the apartment and area. The apartment is thoughtfully and generously appointed with all you need and is a wonderful retreat following a day of exploring the magnificent city of Florence. The location is exceptional for proximity to all that Florence has to offer. A perfect choice!!

Nice albeit small home in a great location. Lovely host with easy and quick check in.

Carla was lovely to stay!

Silvia has a very nice place. Modern, spacious at the same time. There so many wonderful books to read! I felt right at home. Location is wonderful, peaceful but just a short walk to everything.

Marta has been one the best host while traveling through out Italy. Marta was not only very nice and wonderful but super helpful. Any question I had Marta had an answer for me with-in less than an hour. She recommended great local restaurants, bakeries, shops and bars. The communication, check in, cleanliness, and over all experience was great. After exploring 1 minutes down the street we found a very popular local bar which was great to hang around and just take in and observe late at night. Overall 10/10 stay.

A perfect stay in Florence. Mattia’s house is not only perfectly located with an amazing terrace but so welcoming with lovely relaxing spaces with incredible views , extremely comfortable beds, and attention to all those small details that make a stay special. We throughly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend to others.

We had a lovely stay. The apartment is beautiful and had everything we needed. Chiara has put a lot of effort into providing information on anything one needs to know about the surrounding neighborhood. Food, transportation, emergency needs and entertainment that made us feel comfortable in our new surroundings right away. There were several great places to eat just a few steps away. Loved getting cappuccinos & pastries every morning at Cosi on the corner. Not open on Mondays but just a few blocks another bar is. Also wonderful. Bus stop is also very close and easy. Loved the convenience. We were able to get everywhere and back very quickly by bus. Upon checking out our taxi didn’t come. Traffic in Florence is busy. Another reason the bus is the best option. Within 25 minutes Chiara son & neighbor picked us up and got us to the train station. We felt lucky to have found such a beautiful apartment, neighborhood and great host for our stay. Impossible not love. The best❤

Great location. Walkable to everything we wanted to see. Marcella is a great host. She made check-in very easy and gave us plenty of local recommendations. We visited 2 of her recommended restaurants and both were amazing meals. Her videos of how to use the stove and washer were very helpful too.

Absolutely loved the location of the apartment, right in the middle of the city center. Everything was walkable 😍 The room was exactly as advertised and Alessandra was a superb host, friend, responsive and great recommendations. I recommend to go here if you are about to visit Florence
