Luxury Renaissance Palace

A luxury Renaissance palace in the heart of where Renaissance was born. Located next to Santa Croce, our 3 bedroom house offers a peaceful stay faraway from the city noise. Offering Tradition & Modernity, our venue is a magical way to live Florence. Our venue is a pearl right in the center of the city. Every wall to be touched, hidden spot to be uncovered, painting and antique to be admired, will highlight its Renaissance essence and will embrace you throughout your stay.
Filled with history and mystery, our accommodation offers the perfect match between living the traditional noble Florence as it once was and our modern furnishings, such as brand new kitchen.

And with its spacious living-room and cozy bedrooms, our guests will have a unique time to relax in one of the finest houses in Florence, located in the very best part of the city. The living-room overlooks a totally quiet private garden.

Our third bedroom has a loft with two single beds, therefore we can comfortably host up to 8 people.

Fiber cable WiFi, flat TV with Apple TV and Netflix.

*Please note: the Florence Council requires us to collect €4 per adult (over 12 y.o.) per night, for a maximum of 7 nights*

The location was perfect for a large group. We could walk everywhere and many dining and grocery options near by. The house itself was a work of art.

Great beautiful place!
The place has tons of room, and is uniquely designed. We were a family of 7 with 4 adults. It was a nice stay for 9 days. Cosmo and his family were hospitable and provided great instructions/communications. I would recommend this place if you're staying in Florence. Quiet place east of all the activities.

Beautiful property
Our family of 5 adults and one 7 y/o had a wonderful stay. The location is great and is easily walkable to all the tourist sites and to restaurants and grocery. The properth is unique and very quiet without street noise. It was 98-99 degrees outside when we were in Firenze in July. So the upstairs bedrooms were a bit warm but are air conditioned. The property did list an outdoor space which was not available to use. I think this has now been corrected. We enjoyed our stay immensely

Super!
We stayed 8 days in July and were very pleased with the Luxury Renaissance Palace. The weather was very hot but the thick stone walls helped keep the place cool. There are air conditioners in the bedrooms but not in the communal areas. *Decor is amazing *Located in the Santa Croce neighborhood - tons of restaurants and shops *Washing machine, no dryer - we washed clothes daily *Beds are large and comfortable *Lots of toiletries in the downstairs bathroom *Decent WiFi *Kitchen had a lot of cooking supplies & cookware but we ate out every night. *Plenty of hot water & good water pressure *Lots of towels We enjoyed staying here... the apartment is part of an old palace and has a circular staircase to the upper bedrooms. which could pose a challenge to those with mobility issues We briefly met the owner who checked us in. I wish we could have spent more time with her to learn more about the apartment, but since we arrived late at night (due to a cancelled flight) it didn't happen. I recommend this rental and hope for a second stay next year. Thank you Elisabetta

We had an amazing stay with my wife, three adult children and their respective boyfriends. The location could not have been better, walking distance to literally everything. The apartment itself... wow, we are still talking about it. I travel often for work and for leisure, and this is one of the best stays of my life.

Gorgeous property in the Santa Croce neighborhood- plenty of space, impressive artwork and features. Quiet location close to all the tourist destinations. My only complaint was that you did not have access to the garden, it is the owner’s private garden, and the VRBO description makes it seem part of your rental- a little disappointing. Overall an amazing property in a gorgeous, super safe setting- RECOMMEND!

Beautiful, wonderful stay! Highly recommend!
The Luxury Renaissance Palace was amazing! Highly recommend! This place was absolutely beautiful! It was so very kind of the hosts to leave a bowl full of fresh fruit and bottle of Prosecco in the fridge for us! We enjoyed that so very much! We also loved this location. It was quiet and we felt very safe. So close to a beautiful church, some fun bars and an INCREDIBLE restaurant. La Buchetta Food & Wine 2 was SO good that we ate there two nights in a row! FUN servers and excellent food! Look at the restaurant reviews! We were able to check in early and communication with Elisabetta was fantastic. Her mom met us right as scheduled and was so kind! She didn't speak English, however showed us a nice welcome video that we could understand. We wished how to use the keys was included in the video. We didn't completely understand from the Italian instruction! For future guests... the skeleton keys are for the front and main door and the key fob is for the gate. When leaving there is a button on the left wall to open the gate. We had some fun trying to figure this out! You are welcome! ;) We also found Pizzeria Ristorante I Tarocchi on the other side of the Arno but very close. It was very good food and service was great. The pear tortellini with Tallegio cream sauce was to die for. Try it, you won't be disappointed! Only issue was the main shower didn't drain well so was almost unusable... but otherwise this place was amazing! I'd book it again! Thank you!

Fabulous Florence
Borgo, Santa Croce 17 our host Elizabeta was very responsive. The home is beautiful!!. It is located a block away from the Piazza Santa Croce. There was a very detailed booklet about the home which we found very helpful. A truly unique European experience, the living room and kitchen/dining room area, were very welcoming and had all the amenities that you could want. The bedroom on the first floor was very unique and I was told the ceiling fresco painting is over 450 years old. The two bedrooms upstairs were very comfortable. As mentioned in previous reviews, access to the second floor, and ultimately, the third floor where there two other beds were located could be challenging as access is via a stone spiral stair case similar to the Duomo’s in Florence. The apartment is just outside of Piazza Santacroce, and it is walking distance to many of the must see places in Florence The museums the Duomo there are so many fantastic restaurants and cafés within a five minute walk. Taxi service was also readily available overall a fantastic stay.

Fabulous Stay in a Perfect Location
The palace is gorgeous and our hosts extremely gracious. Communication with them was prompt. The location was convenient to everything in the city, yet quiet when we returned from sightseeing each day. The apartment itself was spotless. Our hosts had a big bowl of fruit waiting for us. There is 1 bedroom on the main floor, and the remaining bedrooms up a spiral staircase. There is only 1 bathroom upstairs, so it’s possible that 4-6 people could be sharing. However, all in all an A+

Great location
Was located in a great central walking location. Stairs going up to 2nd floor for majority of bedrooms can be challenge. The elevator is a must to get luggage up, so very glad to have it.Very modern kitchen area, some doors can be tricky /noisy to open or close but does add to the rustic historical charm of the place.

Great location, great property
The property was spacious for 6 people and the check-in was easy. There’s an elevator outside the main door to bring luggage up to the second floor — the spiral staircase does have many steps so I recommend the elevator if steps are hard. I had to book an extra night and the hosts were accommodating and let us stay the extra night. I communicated with the hosts via the VRBO app, and they were quick to respond. I would recommend this property for families traveling through Tuscany.

An absolutely divine stay
Thank you sincerely for letting us stay in your gorgeous apartment. We stayed in 9 different places over four weeks in Italy and this was by far the best. There are many standouts - the location, the quiet, the safety, the atmosphere, but the beautiful architecture and lavish decoration was on top- plus the beds - they are so comfortable. When I come back to Florence, I would chose to stay here again above any other option. Thank you :)

A very special place
My family and I had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home a short walk to the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio, and only a few steps from Santa Croce. The original renaissance details that have been preserved (ceiling mural in 1st floor bedroom and intricate wood coffered ceilings in upstairs bedrooms) let you experience Florence life as it was centuries ago, and the modern amenities including air conditioning in every bedroom and a nicely updated and appointed kitchen made our stay during the hot summer very comfortable. Elizabetta and Cosimo were helpful with restaurant suggestions and reservations before our trip and the check in/check out process was very smooth. We are grateful to them for making such a special place available to us and we highly recommend this rental to other families.

The perfect place to stay in Florence
My family of 7 stayed at the Renaissance Palace for 3 nights and it was a perfect experience all around. First of all the location could not be more ideal. The apartment is right in the heart of the city and a short walk to every thing Florence has to offer. The apartment is breathtakingly beautiful! The furniture and amenities are a perfect balance of old and new, contemporary and antique. It is also remarkable how quiet the apartment is. And each room has air conditioning which was a big relief after long, hot days out sightseeing. Elisabetta was the perfect, gracious host and we felt very welcomed and taken care of. We look forward to coming back.
