Summary: This is a lovely apartment in a prime location in Florence. The bedrooms are on the smaller side, but have plenty of storage space for unpacking and storing luggage. Waking to the many bells in Florence is just wonderful! The second floor is really the best part. Quite comfortable with two gorgeous balconies and great views, and a very well equipped kitchen. We cooked at home several nights, and had the house chef prepare a meal (fee based, well worth it) one night. There is a clothing washer, no dryer, but a large drying rack is provided and there is plenty of room on the first floor to place it. The apartment is indeed 93 stairs from the ground to the first floor, which is not for the faint of heart. We are a very fit family and it definitely ensured we didn’t forget anything when we went out for the day! The location is wonderful - so close to everything. The house manager also helped us arrange a driver for a day trip to Siena and to a winery for a lunch and wine tasting. It was a highlight. We highly recommend Santa Croce.
