Family-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Croce, Florence

Everything was great about the stay! We were really starving the day of ur arrival and Francesca was able to bring us some food for her that was all needed to kick start our day!

We had an absolute perfect stay in Salverio and Lorenzo's flat. It was incredibly spacious - very unusual to have a 3 bedroom/3 bath flat to rent in such a highly sought after part of Firenze. The decor was a perfect blend of antiques and art mixed with contemporary furnishings. Having a washer/dryer was a fantastic addition. Our favorite part of the flat was the rooftop terrace at sunset. You feel like you are on top of all of Firenze looking across the buildings. The duomo view was breathtaking. It was magical and truly stunning. The location could not be more suitable for proximity to all of the sights and indulge in luxury shopping. Salverio and Lorenzo were so helpful and accommodating. We will most assuredly be back! Thank you to you both!

If I could move in here permanently, I would. What a gorgeous stay with responsive and respectful hosts. Everything was as described, the hot tub was glorious, and we loved looking through the binder of photos of painstaking restoration over the years.

I can not say enough about Alessandra and her amazing land! It was the most magical place we have ever been to. We are taking a 3 month trip, hitting up 21 cities in Europe and this is BY far the best! She was so kind and took us shopping and back to our train! She was always there when we needed her.thank you Alessandra we will see you next year!

Max was a thoughtful, responsive, kind and helpful host! We appreciated the care he took to make us feel welcomed and comfortable, the maps with suggestions for where to eat and what to do were a great bonus. We loved learning about his family history and staying in his family home - that was beautifully preserved and updated for our convenience! We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back again!

Wow!!; Amazing!!; Fantastic!!; Beautiful!! Based on the pictures and all the 5-star reviews that we read, my wife and I knew Giovanni's property would be beautiful but our high expectations in all aspects were greatly exceeded when we experienced the true essence and beauty of Giovanni's property. He has created a masterpiece. Words cannot accurately describe the beauty and the peacefulness, that one experiences. The accommodations, the saltwater pool, the 5 hotubs, all the outdoor lounging spots, the intricate landscaping, the views of the Tuscan Chianti valley topped off by Giovanni's unmatched welcoming hospitality made our stay one we will never forget.

Had a pleasant stay at Monica’s place. The AC was super nice to come home to after a long day in the June heat! Bonus points for having a second AC unit right in the bedroom! The place itself is super spacious and decorated very nicely. Sky lights within the unit allowed for lots of natural light, brightened the place right up (there are also blinds for each one to keep light out during sleep). Would highly recommend, and would absolutely stay again!

Our hosts welcomed us with great kindness and gave us all the information to direct us to Florence. The very charming and fresh apartment has a very nice flowery and peaceful garden. We had a great time

This Airbnb listing has a great location! It has a lot of space and is roomy and well appointed. The communication is also clear and precise and Filipo was very helpful with all the instructions! We had a lot of fun in our time here at Florence and would love to come back again.

Phenomenal! Lovely hosts, helped every step of the way. The place is very cozy, extremely big, a perfect 3D/2N to our honeymoon. Appreciate the late check out too :) 10/10 service

Please do yourself the favor and book this space immediately. To call the home a palace would be an understatement. As a constant traveler, this is easily the most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed at. Perfect view of the Uffizi gallery and river Arno. A 2 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and many surrounding markets and Osteria’s. Frederico is an amazing host and now a good friend of ours. He accommodated us and was super patient when we were checking out. The home is extremely well curated with beautiful works of arts and sculptures. The living room area is a great big space with giant windows that can be opened and marble bath tub and shower. I will be dreaming of returning to see our friend Frederico in Florence very soon. He has a kind soul and was very warm with us. Side note: our favorite restaurant was the Osteria Toscanella. Only a 5 minute walk from the space. Please tell Tony from the Osteria that Richard and Geraldine from Texas say “Hola”!!! Everyone made us feel at home.

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.

We loved Antonio’s place so much! The location was priceless and walkable to everything! He was also super friendly and very accommodating to our travels. Also gave us great recommendations for dinner around the area! The stairs up to the Airbnb is a hike, but once you get to the top it’s 100% worth it. We will definitely coming back to stay in the future!

Our stay was fantastic!!! Giulia is a first-class host. The apartment is large, with many amenities and a terrace with a wonderful view of the city and surroundings. Giulia was waiting for us with fresh water in the fridge, shower shampoo, hand soap and intimate soap, towels and impeccably white sheets, the kitchen was very well equipped, there were even condiments, salt, sugar, coffee...great. Giulia always responded quickly and cordially. She was attentive to all our needs. In short, it's a 10/10. Highly recommended. Thank you Giulia!!! See you soon. I'll definitely be back

Simona thought of so many details including a coffee maker and espresso maker. The location was close to everything with no more than a 30 minute walk to reach la Central Market and 5 minutes to Saint Ambrosia Market. Amazing apertive location with 10 minute walk. Staying in June temps were high and the AC provided was amazing. We will be back. Be sure to check out the local experiences like a pasta making class, it was amazing.

A nice place to stay when traveling in Florence. The host provides detail information of the room when checking in and is always helpful. The room has a wonderful view!

We had an amazing week in the villa. Even if hou have other people living there, you feel so calm and free. There is a designated spot for each appartements to eat so you can enjoy good time outside. The site is so clean and we ser that the host take good care of everything. We had a lot of recommandations to discover te surroundings and the host was so easy to reach when we needed. All the commodities were there, the appartement is well equiped. I strongly suggest to rent a car, it’s the easiest way to enjoy your stay there. I surely recommand this place and I would go back again.

**Unforgettable Stay with Perfect Pool and Stunning Views** This BNB met our expectations during our family trip to Italy. The property was clean throughout, and the hosts went above and beyond with their hospitality - greeting us warmly in person and thoughtfully providing welcome snacks and a bottle of wine. The pool is absolutely perfect and became the centerpiece of our stay. Some of my most cherished memories from our entire Italy trip were spent relaxing by the pool with my family. The sunset views from the property are breathtaking and provided the perfect backdrop for our evenings. Both sisters who run this place are genuinely wonderful people who clearly care about their guests' experience. Their personal touch made our stay feel special and welcoming.

Anna was a fantastic host, who treated us with the upmost respect and kindness. While her place is a bit difficult to find at first, once you're there, you're in one of the most beautiful scenes we've seen during our time in Italy. Also, it was close enough that we were still early able to travel into Florence each day we were there. Anna was so nice in providing us with breakfast each morning, which included apricot jam from her fruit trees and homemade bread. We would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quiet place to stay outside of the busy city.

We loved our stay at Michaela’s house. The views were beautiful and it was a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Great location, very short walk to the town or easy bus ride into the center of Florence. We will definitely be back!

What a magical stay! Christine is a true host and not only has curated a beautiful space but she also was perfectly attentive to us during our stay. The apartment was as comfortable as it is beautiful. We took advantage of the outdoor grill and swimming pool and although we explored the area we would have been just as happy to stay “home” all day. The recommendations for the area were true gems. We had breakfast our last morning and it was the perfect ending to our stay! I don’t think you can find a more perfect place.

What a great place to stay while visiting Tuscany. The home is a renovated medieval watchtower located up a dirt road, tucked on a hilltop overlooking the valley. Jacopo, the host, was so kind, hospitable and responsive during our 5-day visit. Would definitely recommend this place to explore Tuscana.

Aura and Massimillio were so kind and helpful. The recommendation for dinner was delicious. The home has so much character and history-it was a great change of pace from the busy city of Firenze. Just amazing to sit and relax by the pool with some wine and look at the countryside.

Amazing villa and location. Amenities were beautiful and restaurant was amazing. Plenty of parking and access. Great back yard and swimming pool for kids with amazing views.
