We were on a family vacation and the Santa Croce Apartment was fantastic. Mauro was very responsive to my pre-vacation questions and his mother and father, Giuliano and Caterina, were at that apartment to greet us when we arrived. The apartment is located in a perfect location to get around Florence without needing transportation. We felt very comfortable in the apartment and loved that we had room for family meals and together time. When it was time to leave, Giuliano came and called taxis for us to get to the train station. When visiting Florence in the future, I would definitely try to stay again at the Santa Croce Apartment.
