Kid-friendly vacation 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.

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

Great stay, located in the heart of Florence. Host was flexible with letting us drop bags early for free. Any issues that popped up, they were very quick to work with us to fix. Would recommend!

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!

Great location.Awesome view just as described.Walk to all the attractions, great communication.Loved our stay in beautiful Florence.Had a lovely dinner in the street at Maga Mago as recommended.Nice touch with the wine and fruit.Thanks Bev.

This apartment is located in a great location. If you love the book “Room with a View”, you are located overlooking Santa Croce! Getting up the staircase with heavy luggage is a good workout but well worth the effort. The host was very helpful, promptly providing recommendations to local places.

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!!

We recently spent five nights at Marina’s Santa Croce Dreams apartment and had a perfect stay. Marina’s apartment is exactly as shown and described. Nicely decorated, comfortable furniture, cozy and bright and airy. The unit faces an interior courtyard so it is also very quiet. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived. The area is close enough to the main sites in Florence but just far enough to by away from the crowds in the main tourist areas which made for an easy escape after a day of touring. Marina and Elena were communicative and responsive before and after our stay. We encountered a slight issue with the AC unit during the last few days of our stay but Elena was quick to resolve the problem. We highly recommend her apartment.

Beautiful house, a short walk from the Piazzale Michelangelo for a stunning viewpoint. Francesca is an amazing host, very friendly and dedicated to making our stay enjoyable. The house was clean and well stocked with essentials, and the air conditioning worked very well. She gave us lots of recommendations and information on the area too. The area itself is incredibly peaceful and you can enjoy a quiet evening in the beautiful garden. We would come back again!

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.

Yes, it is spectacular for all the reasons mentioned by others. The frescoes in the rooms and loggia are most remarkable, and of great historical significance. There’s a manual on site that details all the history, and additional information can be found online on Wikipedia and elsewhere about the frescoes and the garden. Gian is a most excellent host. Thank you thank you thank you.

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.

What a beautiful room! Once owned by princess of Poland, it is fit for a princess indeed. Loved sleeping amidst the frescoes. It’s spacious, clean, and comfortable. AC keeps the room very cool, and the view of the dome from the roof simply can’t be beat! The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city and close to everything. Very helpful with lots of recommendations too. Grazie!!

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.

Amazing location and apartment! Very secure building. Taxi stand right out front as well. Maria was very flexible with check-in time which was appreciated! Would recommend for any trip to Florence!

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.

Aida's place was wonderful! We loved everything about it. It's very spacious and decorated beautifully. The air-conditioning was fantastic to come home to after long days sightseeing in very warm weather. We highly recommend Aida's place for a "home away from home."

Paulo was a great host and we would stay here again. It is a fantastic location for exploring all of the key areas of Florence but still allows you to get away from the crowds.
