Historic Centre Apartments

Location

The apartment is in the heart of Florence historic centre, in the district of Santa Croce, which owes its name to the church that houses the tombs of some of the most celebrated Italian artists, scientists and men of letters. The Italian poet Ugo Foscolo immortalized the church in his famous poem "Of the Sepulchres".

Every year in June, the square in front of the basilica hosts the matches of "calcio storico" - also known as "calcio in costume" because players wear a medieval garb - between the teams representing Florence historic quarters: San Giovanni, Santo Spirito, Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella.

Santa Croce is a very lively district featuring plenty of pubs, wine bars, trattorias and restaurants serving the dishes of the traditional Florentine cuisine, such as the famous beefsteak and the tasty ribollita.
