Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Santa Croce, Florence

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful property just outside Florence. The location was perfect—peaceful and scenic, yet only a short drive to the center. The house was spotless, well-equipped, and full of character, with breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. Antonio was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed. It was the perfect base for exploring Florence and the surrounding area. Highly recommended—we would absolutely stay here again!

Incredible home, with stunning views! I hosted a group of friends here before my wedding, and we all agreed it was the most beautiful Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The hosts (Francesco and his wife Illaria) were extremely responsive and kind. They recommended a local chef to us, which turned into one of the best nights of our trip. 100% recommend and will be re-booking next time I travel to Tuscany.

After we arrived and were settled we were thrilled at the amazing views of the rolling hills. The landscape was breathtaking and the location was quite remote and peaceful. David was very responsive and we really enjoyed our stay! We would definitely come again!

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!

Great place and location. everything about the place and our stay was excellent.

The most beautiful place we've ever stayed at. Also very clean and comfortable. The hosts were so helpful by helping us prepare, reminding us a car is needed in the area, and by checking us in in-person and showing us everything we needed to know. Would love to get the chance to stay here again.

Our family of four loved this home. Here’s what felt extra luxurious to us: a separate wing for the 22 yr old, 3 bathrooms, high quality bed linen and towels, ability to do laundry and cook, wine and goodies on arrival, and a beautiful and serene park view. Birdsong in the morning, fireflies in the evening, pure magic.

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!

Perfect apartment in excellent location! Thank you, Michela, for a wonderful stay! This apartment was perfect for our family’s vacation. Exactly as pictured. Beautiful apartment in ideal location to walk everywhere. Michela was extremely responsive, pleasant, and helpful. Highly recommend!

Marie's apartment is a perfect location for seeing all that Florence has to offer. You are a stones throw away from the famous Ponte Vicchio bridge and Uffizi museum/galleries and a mere stroll into the central shops. That being said the street the apartment is up was very quiet and you were able to sleep without hearing anything. It really was a perfect location. The street does go uphill which is good for people to realise but her apartment isn't too far up it so even with 1 of the guests being pregnant and it being 34 degrees at the time she managed. The apartment has proper air con in the sense that it is installed in every room with their own settings and not a portable one you need to stick out of a window. Maris was super responsive and has left a bespoke guide book not only to the apartment but to all the restaurants and things to do locally. She even offered us to leave our bags as late as the next guests were due to arrive too. Loved every second and can't wait to come back!

This place was perfect, if you don't mind climbing 4 flights of stairs. It is a beautiful and spacious apartment that is very walkable. Very close to the Duomo and many other sites. The book with recommendations was wonderful and so helpful. We were so happy with our stay here.

Excellent accommodation - i'd highly recommend.

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!

Leonardo is very responsive and helpful throughout the trip. The place is clean and quiet. Highly recommend

We had the best time at this villa in Tuscany! Five of us girls stayed there and it felt like we were living in an Italian movie. The views were beautiful and amazing, truly taking our breath away. The private chef dinner with the Tuscan fields view was amazing! The villa itself is perfect, with a lovely design and every little detail thought of. It was full of flowers and the smell of jasmine and rosemary made us feel so relaxed. Everything was great from the moment Michaela met us and took us to the villa, until we had to leave. We even left her some wine and champagne because we were so happy. We loved it so much that we’re making this our yearly trip! Huge thanks to Giovanni, Michaela the Chef and the entire team for an unforgettable experience!

Our week's stay was so nice. Rita was very responsive and gave great recommendations. She was also nice enough to set up a car to pick us up, for when we had an excursion, and to take us back to the airport. The bed was comfortable. The shower had great pressure and temperature control. Sitting out on the balcony and reading was so nice in the evenings. We had no issues with outside noise. We felt very safe with having 2 doors to lock. The AC units were great, given it was high 80s the whole time we were there. Be prepared for the stairs when you first get there with your luggage, that is the only challenge, but it is completely worth it. I would highly recommend staying here.

Tommaso’s farmhouse was the perfect place for our family to stay in Tuscany! This was my dream house. We loved being able to sit and eat outside, and I never wanted to leave the beautiful living room filled with books. Everything was decorated so beautifully and the house just had the most gorgeous surroundings and character. We loved being close enough to Florence to experience all it had to offer but with the peace of being in the countryside. We hope to return one day and are so thankful for the amazing memories made here!

Beautiful home with incredible views and pool! We were looked after by Lara and Remus and had a wonderful 10 days relaxing. Easy location from which to visit Florence whilst being a peaceful and calm location to stay.

Mimma and her husband were amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed staying here during our stay in Florence. Beautiful modern home with every thing in the house ready for you when you get there. Lots of room for our luggage’s. Tv was a big smart tv, lots of privacy and most importantly they were very professional and nice. It felt like being at home compared to other airbnbs we have stayed at. Might be a bit pricey but I can say it was 100% worth it. You won’t regret staying here. Thank you Mimma!!! Will definitely come back if ever in Florence

Wow-10 days spent at Alec's villa and could have stayed longer! The age and beauty of this place makes you feel transported back in time. From the stone walls, the detailed wall paintings, furniture and decor, to the solid doors easily hundreds of years old... We spent hours just speaking of it's history. The house is clean, spacious, and had plenty of room for our family of 8. It is situated on a small family vineyard at the top of an incredibly windey road. There outdoor space was safe/secluded for my kids. The hill made for wonderful beautiful views and sunrise. However, as with much of Tuscany, we were glad our rental cars weren't too big! The closest town is 5 minutes away and has a few restaurants... Though not somewhere you can have coffee or walk the streets. About 15 minutes away is San Casciano where you can find coffee shops, restaurants, stores etc. Alec is a perfect host... helpful, responsive, and answered dozens of questions weekly. Book dinner at A Casa Mia for sure!

Incredible host and property. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay here. Cesare was beyond helpful with recommendations and flexible with our check in. Secluded, peaceful and a great place for making memories during our travels around Italy.

This was such a beautiful stay in Tuscany. When our family arrived it was magical to them to be in Beatrice’s home and countryside. It’s full of history and breathtaking views.

Cristiana and Mauro were the most friendly hosts. They made us feel immediately comfortable and set us up for a great stay at their wonderful home, offering some fabulous nearby dinner recommendations, as well as directing us to local grocery stores, and train stations for easy day trips into Florence, etc. The farmhouse is beautiful and brimming with character throughout, offering spectacular views over Vicchio. The private swimming pool is bigger than the photos suggest, and not too deep - the kids loved it. The hot tub allows you to sit back and drink in the peaceful Tuscan views. The sauna was a great touch, which we enjoyed throughout our stay, along with the pool table/games room. The outdoor terrace is large and great for a BBQ. The road leading up to the house is a fun drive - we rented a 4x4 (highly recommended if you are planning to stay here) that made it relatively comfortable. We loved our stay and would definitely like to return as there is so much more to explore there!

Our Villa in Montespertoli was everything we could have wished for and more, full of all the modern conveniences required to cook if desired. The grounds were absolutely delightful and the hillside backdrop of grapevines etc was stunning to wake up to every morning in a secluded and peaceful place. We enjoyed many mornings having coffee around the poolside deck and afternoons sharing a glass of wine chatting with our friends after our many touring adventures. You definitely need to have a car to enjoy this Villa and surrounding areas like Pisa, Siena, hot Springs, San Gimignano to name a few. Our Caretaker Lia cooked us a delicious Sri Lankan dinner to share on our last night which we enjoyed immensely. Thankyou for hosting us in your home, we didn’t want to leave.
