Vacation rentals with breakfast in Santa Croce, Florence

The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We missed our train stop, and they quickly arranged for us to be picked up at the next station. The fridge was stocked with essentials, as well as bread, pastries, and snacks. They even took us to the grocery store as we did not have a car. When we had concerns about the comfort of the mattresses in the second bedroom (as one of us has a bad back) they promptly went out and purchased 2 brand new mattresses!! Unbelievable customer service!! The villa was spotless and everything was in proper working order. The hosts were very responsive, quickly answering any questions. The setting is postcard perfect! Beautiful views from every angle! Exactly what we were looking for in a Tuscan getaway. Quiet, peaceful and serene - what more can you ask for?

We felt very comfortable! Benedetta's family, who live in the houses next door, were very friendly and warm. We had a good conversation and got great tips for the area. The property is also home to a pony and two dogs, who are very friendly and trusting, but at the same time also accept the boundaries if you don't want that - just right! For us, it was perfect - relaxing, quiet and in nice company. We definitely recommend this place! ❤️

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

It was like living a dream, in this noble villa surrounded by nature. The terraces, perfect for breakfast in the sun, and the pool lined with greenery and flowers: a corner of Italianity. Giselle and Luis greeted us with a lot of attention. The house is cool, quiet and bright, with very comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. And the most unexpected: Louise provided us with a pocket Wi-Fi to use during our excursions. An incredible experience, we will come back for a longer stay.

I don’t have the words to describe how beautiful this apartment on the hillside is. The apartment itself is nice and cosy and spacious, and the kitchen contains a little bottle of olive oil produced from their own olives. But it is the location, the gardens and the little farm and the view across the valley which can take your breath away. Sonia is happy and welcoming and patient. She showed us around the wine and olive farm and was always approachable when we contacted her. There are two guest apartments side by side, but it is quite private nonetheless. Note that you can hear sounds from the other apartment quite easily. I cannot recommend this enough! Would love to come back.

Beautiful accommodation very clean and well decorated, excellent bedding in large rooms with views , peaceful place...everything is fine. Daniela is very welcoming.

One of the best stays we have ever had! The surrounding landscape and town are picture perfect! The grounds, pool, and accommodations are absolutely fantastic! My wife and I would love to come back if the opportunity ever presents itself again.

A beautiful, simple, rustic but impeccably tastefully furnished, one-room cottage in idyllic grounds on the side of a magical Tuscan hillside. Florence, Siena, Lucca and Pisa all within easy reach if you have a car (you need a car to stay here) … And there’s even a pool!! We’ll be back!

Cristiana is very helpful and a good person. The whole experience was as described. Getting to the center was very easy. The neighborhood was very nice. The design of the house was one of the most beautiful houses we've ever stayed in. He always gave quick and solution-oriented answers. The only problem, as emphasized in the description, is 4. It was the lack of floors and elevators. But I will never give this beautiful house a bad rating for this. Thank you Cristiana, I hope we will have this experience again when we come back.

Beautiful place in a great location. We enjoyed our stay. There are 6 flights of stairs to get to the place, which was not an issue for us but could be for mobility impaired, however, this was clearly stated in listing.

Massimo place was wonderful for our stay, very quite place and close everything. Thank you Massimo for your help, you're great host 👍

very nice host, she will treat like her guest, you will enjoy stay in her apartment. thanks

Extremely responsive. Helped us out when we struggled to work out the door. Couldn’t of asked for better communication

Love the place. I would stay again if I am in the area.

We stayed for a week. It was exactly as described and in fact exceeded our expectations with availability of useful tools too for any minor and unexpected needs. The location was very peaceful with good connectivity. Also, major attractions were just a small walk away. Cristina is an excellent host and always helpful. Would certainly recommend this place.

This was a lovely apartment and perfect location for our visit to Florence. Everything was in walking distance, and there was a good small grocery store just up the block. The apartment is beautiful, with lovely ancient frescos on the ceiling and very comfortable furnishings and a fully equipped kitchen--we were able to shop for wonderful food at the Mercato and cook our own delicious meals. Our host was wonderfully helpful and warm, and our experience was simply perfect. I definitely will hope to stay here again the next time we can visit 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.

A beautiful spot to stay in! We were grateful for the kindness and the privacy of the spot!

The villa was magnificent! It was so atmospheric and charming, breakfast from Carla were so good, it was a really pleasant stay. The room was also really comfortable, with history and a lot of cute details. And also this location .. can’t describe in words how beautiful it was

Fantastic location—just steps from the Duomo Plaza! The apartment is centrally located, with plenty of restaurants nearby and within walking distance to all the major sights. We also appreciated the thoughtful touch of refreshments and snacks left for us to enjoy. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a great spot in the heart of Florence.

Excellent! Breakfast was phenomenal every single morning and we were tended to so perfectly. Check in was smooth— luggage drop off was so easy and we dropped off once we arrived in Florence and were able to explore. Luggage drop off was also available our checkout day and we were able to leave and explore before it was time to go—they also called a Taxi for us and had it waiting for us when we left. We did not get to use the pool, but the room and shower were perfect. Bed was a bit firm, but that is up to preference, not a complaint. Villa is also further away from city center, and requires a lengthy walk— but is without a doubt walkable. We walked every single day to the city center and across the bridge! You can even see the peak of the Duomo from the terrace! Area felt less tourist packed than other airbnbs in the area and we felt more surrounded by locals. The service was some of the best we’ve received and we were greeted every single morning and day. Great stay!

Our stay was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness. It felt like visiting family. The hosts are the most genuine, thoughtful couple we've ever met. Their hospitality went far beyond anything we expected. They were incredibly responsive and offered fantastic recommendations for the area, but what really made our experience special was the cooking class we did with them. We learned how to make fresh pasta and dessert from scratch, then shared the most delicious meal together. It wasn’t just a dinner,it was a memory we’ll carry with us forever. Out of our entire 19-day trip through Italy, this was hands down the highlight. The property itself is straight out of a movie. The home is stunning, filled with character and charm, and the grounds are peaceful, beautifully maintained, and truly capture the magic of Tuscany. If you're looking for an authentic, heartfelt experience that goes beyond just a place to stay, this is it!!

Maurizio is a very kind and respectful host. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the art and history of Florence and enjoys sharing his passion. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the wonderful Italian coffee each morning. Thank you Maurizio.

This is a unique place. The treehouse is small and cosy. Everything you need is there. Close to the crowded city but also close to the marvelouse countryside. We were there the second time and we love this place in the middle of olive trees, you see the top of the Dome of Firence, the house is in the shadow of several pine trees. It is a magic place for us.
