Within this historic palace in Piazza Santa Croce, the Casa Toscana apartment is as comfortable as an English Cottage. Not only are the furnishings luxurious, the views over the piazza to the handsome medieval church are breathtaking.

Location

Conveniently located in the heart of the historical center of Florence, in Piazza Santa Croce, the palazzo is a landmark Renaissance Palazzo, and one of the few left in the historic center of Florence with a dramatic frescoed facade.

Exterior

Many people passing through Piazza Santa Croce notice Giovanni di Ser Giovanni's 1620 frescoes on the overhanging facade this handsome building, but few realize they can actually stay here. The 16th-century palazzo is owned by the gracious Contessa Piccolomini, who rents out truly spacious apartments to anyone who has ever dreamed of sitting near a roaring fire under a 17th-century frescoed ceiling or sipping tea in a living room surrounded by trompe d'oeil Roman ruins with a 16th-century wood ceiling above.

Interior

On fourth floor (American designation) of the building adjoining the Palazzo Santa Croce, this elegant apartment has traditional high ceilings and frescoes on the living room walls on either side of the working fire place.

Casa Toscana shares a hallway with David, so for a larger party, they work well together.

Master bedroom with queen size bed with en suite bathroom with shower; second bedroom with twin beds that can be joined to make a queen size.

Second bathroom with tub and shower.

Fully equipped large eat-in kitchen with charcoal burner in addition to gas range.

The master bedroom and the kitchen have original wood beam ceilings.

Independent heating. Air conditioners. This apartment can be joined with apartment David to form a large four-bedroom apartment.

Facilities: Dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave oven, toaster, American coffee maker, satellite TV, stereo hi-fi, CD and DVD players, high speed internet, answering machine, fax machine, hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Use of Palazzo private gym.

Reviews and Customer Testimonials for Italy Vacation Rental

Our Review
  • Lovely apartments. Very comfortable and well appointed.
  • We loved observing the daily life of the piazza starting with street cleaners, dog walkers, children going to school, the first tourists all the way till the after dinner strollers.
  • One of the lowest spots in the city, note the high water marks on the buildings in the neighborhood -- on the second floor.
  • The Santa Croce church with the tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli and more is worth a day.
  • Additional fees for wireless internet and utilities that are charged according to use.
Guest Book Testimonials
Very happy with this apartment Dec 2011

We were very happy with this apartment. Very well positioned in the building so that it is quiet and historic center location was interesting and entertaining. This was our first time staying in an apartment instead of a hotel. We'll never go back to hotel stays again!

L. Lee, Marin County, California

Kids loved it, we loved it. Sep 2011

We were two families who rented the Casa Toscana and David apartment next door. So convenient to have the connecting doors between the two apartments. Kids loved it, we loved it. Apartments were comfortable and as pictured on the website. Reservations process and working with Italy Perfect was easy. Thanks for all the good info about how to get museum tickets, private tour guides and restaurants.

Beautiful Florence Apartment Apr 2011

This beautiful apartment was very comfortable for 4 adults. The location was ideal and the access to the gym was very convenient. I strongly recommend making advance reservations for the Uffizi Gallery and doing the audio tour. We especially liked the Baldovino restaurant and the Wine Bar across the way from it. I would strongly recommend Italy Perfect for their excellent service.

The most beautiful apartment in the world. Jul 2008

Oh my gosh, the trip was the most beautiful experience we could have asked for.  Wonderful!!!  Thank you for your services! I would go back tonight if I had the chance.  The Medici Apartment in Florence is simply the most beautiful apartment in the world.  Perfect for our big group.  Stately and palatial, with every accomodation we could want.  Huge windows open onto the square where excitement and life take place before your eyes.  Felt like living in a Renaissance Palace!!!  Renee, who manages the Pallazzo, was so wonderful and kind and warm.  We most enjoyed the sights, the activity on the Piazza, the local cafes in the Ambrogio (sp?) neighborhood, the art, the palatial, restful apartment. The art, the art, the art!

Noise was an issue but we got a system down of using the air conditioners and fans at night to drown out the partying on the square.  It turned out fine and we got used to the system of windows closed and white noise on.  No other drawbacks or problems at all - everything was truly perfect.  The noise wouldn't have bothered us if we didn't have to be up in the AM with the kids, if we could have slept late like the locals it would have been fine.

Perfect, the perfect location - walked everywhere and best gellati in the world was only two blocks away. the Medici Apartment is right in the middle of things - the ONLY place to stay in Florence is what we all decided. The Ambrogio neighborhood was perfect, very authentic and no tourists, The Standa market was perfect - we went there daily to get food to cook in our apartment every night.  We ate out only once and enjoyed great dinners around the huge dining room table. The leather school behind Santa Croce was wonderful!

Tips: Try to live like a local, get off the beaten path, book museum tickets ahead of time from home to avoid lines. Your service was wonderful and thorough and helpful in every way.  Seriously.

Miravista was light and lovely Jul 2005

We rented two apartments in Palazzo Santa Croce from July 2nd to the 16th and spent 6 weeks in Italy overall. It was a marvelous trip and we have returned highly recommending staying in apartments to our friends.

We loved and would certainly return to apartments in Florence, particularly Miravista which was light and lovely, and had the wonderful terrace.

Donatello was grand May 2005

The Palazzo Santa Croce was the perfect base for our daily wanderings through Florence. Donatello was grand and more than large enough for the four of us.
