Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Santa Croce, Florence

This stay felt like something out of a movie! We were greeted with such warmth. The house is so beautiful and well-renovated—high quality details from the bathroom to the woodwork plus the plot of land is quintessentially Tuscany. And when Andrea found out we didn’t have a rental car, he offered to drive us! We had a wonderful time at a nearby winery, Tenuta Barbadoro, then watched the sunset from a field near the main downtown area before having a delicious meal at a nearby restaurant, Restaurante Bistrot lo Zero. We woke up to the smell of croissants and sound of chirping birds. The perfect Italian countryside experience.

Exceptional place ! The stay is just like a museum , amazing artistic place leaves you in awe! Very well connected, peaceful and luxury stay. Alessandra was an extraordinary host , nothing to complain at all . Thankyou for an absolutely delightful stay .

Especially good host!Very cute, very welcoming!The house is also very good and breakfast is provided. Everything is satisfactory. I wish the Host happiness and health every day.

Wonderful apartment with a beautiful backyard in a quiet area, still close to the city center.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful villa in Italy! The property was even more stunning in person—peaceful, beautifully maintained, and full of charm. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making it feel like a true home away from home. What really made our stay exceptional, though, were the hosts. They were incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive throughout our visit, always available if we had questions or needed anything. Their hospitality truly elevated our experience. We left with amazing memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this Airbnb, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Everything about my stay was perfect. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. I truly appreciated the thoughtful touches, especially the delightful goodies provided each morning. It was a lovely way to start the day! The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Overall, this Airbnb exceeds expectations, and I would happily stay here again. Thank you for everything!

This is a true gem! I almost didn't write this review because I don't want to let this secret hideaway become overcrowded and unable to book when I go back to Florence. An authentic Florentine bed and breakfast, centrally located, safe, clean, and the best part are the hosts that treat you like family! Breakfast and coffee-phenomenal! Not only are you getting a lovely and quaint place to stay, but you also get the assistance and care from Riccardo and his wife to have the best experience in Florence. Both were so helpful in arranging a tour of the Chianti region, being present for my lost luggage so I didn't worry and waste time waiting for the delivery, making reservations to places I couldn't get into, giving advice for sites to see, even ordering a taxi for departure, and offering historical information about the city and its many changes. They go over and above what is expected from an air bnb! Will definitely stay again if they will have me!

Gaia’s villa was wonderful. She was so helpful along with her staff. The room was clean, beautiful, the grounds were gorgeous. Would highly recommend her villa.

Laura was very kind, friendly and helpful. The apartment is really very nice, large, clean and thoughtful in every detail. The area is well-served.

What a beautiful stay! The pool and grounds were breathtakingly beautiful and the room was spotless and much larger than it looked - we could’ve easily fit four people. Location is a little outside of Florence but we were able to take a cab in and out. If you stay here, I would plan at least a day to hang out and enjoy the pool, the grounds, and the view. If I am in the area again I would definitely stay here.

We loved our days in Firenze in the Cristina's apartment

We had a nice stay here, the room was comfortable and breakfast was a lovely addition

Marco was a great host. Very quick to answer all the questions. His place was spacious and very clean. Great location too. Just 20 minutes by walking to all the touristic places. Very beautiful neighborhood too. The cafe across the street where I had breakfast was so nice. And when checking in Marco’s parents greeted me. Both such lovely people. We had a delightful chat and they recommended the best places in town and gave me a map. I’d definitely stay there again.

This place was AMAZING!! My brothers and I backpacked Italy for our 21st birthday and stayed here for three nights. Maryan gave us breakfast every morning - bread and yoghurt and juice and hot tea. It was yummy!! She is so responsive and answered all my questions quickly. Short bus ride to city center!

Where to begin? I would come back and live here if I could. Irene’s neighborhood, (or should I say burg?) Is enchanting and a great place to build your leg strength and fill your lungs with clean air and your eyes with beauty. Irene’s discerning taste has resulted in a home that is unique and quite charming. And there’s a spot for everyone, especially at the breakfast table. I haven’t laughed that much or had as much intellectual and silly mental stimulation in a long time! Her breakfast making skills are creative and bespoke. She has little tasty surprises at every meal. This is a true B and B. Irene has a heart of gold and I hope to come back. I have encouraged my friends to visit. Oh! As a solo female traveler, I highly recommend Irene’s home of GRACE.

An impeccable stay in every respect. The atmosphere is a real dive into the past, with well-kept details that tell stories of other times, but with all the modern comforts. Simone and Filippo are two exceptional hosts: available, welcoming and always attentive to every need, without ever being intrusive. It's rare to find such a perfect balance between authenticity, comfort, and hospitality. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a special experience.

It was an amazing experience for us. We stayed with a group of 3 at the place. The home was stylish, nicely decorated and extremely clean and neat. What is very special about our stay is, awesome pasticerries made by a real Italian Chef Mariagrazia. I will strongly recommend her breakfasts and delicious pasticerries. It was a unique experience for us. Thanks a lot, for this warm, kind and delicious experience.

This B&B is ideal for those who want to get to know Tuscany and want to live it to the fullest: Daniela and Giampaolo, the hosts, are exquisite and kind people who welcomed us in a beautiful accommodation in this historic house and prepared a rich breakfast with typical local dishes, both sweet and savory composed of cheeses and charcuterie typical of the surrounding tradition and cakes prepared in the house and with very fresh jams. In addition to hosting us, they recommended many places to visit nearby rich in history and local beauties, both close as Loro Ciuffenna and distant as Arezzo and beyond, with the various museums, architectures and walks that made us experience a piece of Tuscany at its best. For us this point was very important, they were tips that are difficult to find elsewhere and the passion with which Daniela talked about it convinced us even more to do these cultural adventures. Highly recommended to those who want a chill vacation in a serene environment.

Lorenzo and Claudia's service was excellent, 11 out of 10. The place is a paradise on earth and the mansion (not house) exceeded all our expectations. The directions for check-in and stay, always clear and precise. The robot lawnmower didn't give us any problems and the girls were able to enjoy the pool on a hot day. Easy access from Pisa, Lucca, or Florence. We'll definitely come back and use it as a reference point.

Traveling alone, I found myself less confident and reclusive in my first 2 weeks in Italy. Upon reading reviews, I had a feeling Suzi would snap me out of it. And she DID!! She was so welcoming, made me a delicious dinner the first night, and made me a part of her family for the week. I was even invited to her milestone birthday party with all her lovely friends, and then another joint birthday family dinner at home. She gave me a bunch of awesome recommendations, always asked if I needed anything, and calmed me down when I called her in despair, being lost in a field somewhere, lol! The room was huge and cozy, the shower sooo nice! (I was in the room off the kitchen) Suzi is very intelligent and we had some interesting conversations. Her two dogs Tyra and Gigi stole my heart immediately. I will be back, maybe as a work away! I will never forget your kindness and the remarkable woman you are <3

This is definitely a good choice for Florence, the host is very friendly, very welcoming, snacks and breakfast will be provided for guests

The solution that Lavinia proposes is perfect for short (but not too short!) stops. The garden is fantastic, the common areas are cozy. Lavinia and her mom are polite and caring people, but not intrusive at all. The room is perfect for resting and photos correspond exactly to reality. Thank you! P.S. Breakfast was… delicious!

Everything was just unbelievable from the moment we arrived. The way driving to the top of the mountain was amazing. The jaw dropping panoramic view on the top was absolutely speechless. It was only 3 nights, but Enrico and Danielle made it the greatest! They made wonderful breakfast and dinner for us everyday. Visiting Enrico’s observatory was the most special experience we had that we’ll remember it forever. Luckily we were also able to join a local hiking group to experience the beauty of the mountains even more. And we learned a lot about the surrounding, landscape and Italy from Enrico and Danielle. We just fell in love with Italy even more! Thank you so so so much!!!

We loved our stay here! Everything was beautifully clean and we found staying in this little town a more affordable way to still easily access other parts of Chianti by bus. The free breakfast at the local cafe of croissants and hot chocolate was INCREDIBLE! Thank you Andrea again for the stay 💜💜💜💜
