After hiking the Via Francesco for three weeks and sharing dorms, four pellegrine appreciated having a four bedroom/four bathroom house, which had all the luxuries one could ask for. We enjoyed the kitchen and cozy dining room, where we shared our home cooked meals. Maria Cristina greeted us when we arrived, showed us our temporary home and gave us many tips about exploring Florence. We also found plenty of maps and helpful guide books around the house. Our host was also helpful with organizing a 4:00 am taxi to the airport, making sure that we wouldn’t forget about the time changes on that day. Our neighbourhood also charmed us. It was close to all acclaimed Florence sightseeing places yet far away enough to have quiet evenings. Santa Croce has plenty of must-see destinations, pretty piazzas, good restaurants and a fabulous gelateria right around the corner. We would definitely rent this property again.

I would highly recommend this property

Our family stayed here for three days and it was so close to everything we wanted to see and do. Enough bedrooms and bathrooms for us all to have our own space. The best part was Cristi who met us, showed us everything, and gave great advice on where to go and what to do, she really made us feel welcome and cared for. We loved the neighborhood of Santa Croce and even enjoyed the sounds of a rugby tournament in the square down the street. It is also a great value for what you get! I enjoyed being in a traditional Italian home on our trip through Italy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is set over 4 floors, so you need to be OK with steps. All 4 bedrooms were spacious and had a small but practical en-suite shower room. Bed 4 is on the top floor and there are steps down to the bathroom which is not ideal for a midnight 'visit', but one just needs to be careful. We had the rooms made up as doubles but some of them can be twins. There is a cosy lounge area but we spent most of our time on the enclosed terrace which is bright and airy. There is a small but well equipped kitchen, with everything you need including a Nespresso machine. Cris, the owner, speaks (and writes) excellent english and she could not have been more helpful and hospitable. She was always available on Whatsapp and went out of her way to make our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable. She is a star. The location is superb, being along a narrow side street just 30 yards from the Basilica Di Santa Croce, one of the big attractions of Florence. There are numerous bars and restaurants within a 2 minute walk but they cannot be heard from the house. The Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Museum area are an easy 10 minute walk through the cobbled streets. The Florence Cathedral is about 20 minutes away. Lot's of other things are also within easy walking distance. All in all, I have no hesitation in recommending this property. Thanks again Cris.

We had a wonderful time. The property was fantastic and we will be back. It eas just as described and the host was so so kind and helpful.
