The space
BORGO LA CROCE – SANTA CROCE ART & DESIGN RESIDENCE
In the heart of the elegant Santa Croce district, but far from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy areas, this exclusive residence represents a rare fusion of Renaissance art, contemporary design and urban tranquillity. Located in Via Borgo La Croce, a historic and lively street in the centre of Florence, it is surrounded by authentic restaurants, artisan shops and a relaxed atmosphere that allows you to experience Florence at a slower pace, without sacrificing centrality. A few steps from the Basilica of Santa Croce and about 10 minutes' walk from the Duomo, the location is privileged: central but peaceful, ideal for a high-profile stay.
THE BUILDING,
It is an elegant period building with a private internal courtyard and a very rare feature in the centre: a parking space for the exclusive use of guests. The apartment is located on the first floor and can be reached via a scenic historic staircase, once part of an ancient theatre. On the ground floor, the large paved inner courtyard is reserved and quiet, offering a discreet entrance and a sense of privacy that is uncommon in the historic centre.
THE INTERIORS,
are a timeless architectural masterpiece, where history and modernity interact in perfect harmony. The majestic entrance is dominated by an imposing hand-frescoed coffered ceiling, which anticipates the extraordinary nature of the residence. The designer lighting by Flos and Davide Groppi elegantly enhances the decorative details, while the contemporary parquet harmoniously integrates with the historical elements, creating an atmosphere suspended between past and present.
THE LIVING AREA,
is the scenic heart of the house: a magnificent hall with a late 18th-century coffered ceiling, finely decorated with original frescoes perfectly preserved and restored with philological care. The frescoes, which are also present in other rooms, are authentic works protected by the Superintendence of Fine Arts, a protected and very rare cultural heritage in a private residence. The furniture is in keeping with the context: pieces designed by Misura M Spa, including the refined Shybuia armchairs, an original historical bookcase by Ignazio Gardella, a table designed by True Design (Archiproducts Design Award 2021) and original Carl Hansen vintage chairs, which add authenticity and value. A flat-screen Smart TV integrates discreetly, offering advanced technology without altering the aesthetic harmony.
THE KITCHEN AND SERVICES,
complete the experience with a bespoke kitchen with a central island, equipped with high-end appliances and accessories, also ideal for dinners with private chefs. Next to it, a separate and complete laundry room guarantees maximum practicality for long stays, keeping the spaces always tidy and functional.
THE ROOMS,
there are four, each with its own soul. All equipped with air conditioning, designer furnishings and excellent comforts, they are designed to offer privacy, elegance and a superior living experience.
MASTER SUITE,
majestic and bright, with a private terrace and an original hand-frescoed coffered ceiling that enhances its historical character. The custom-made king-size bed in Brera Design Milano velvet completes the room with absolute comfort. The terrace overlooks a quiet inner courtyard, ensuring peace and quiet. The en-suite bathroom is designed as a wellness area, with a double shower (one cold and one hot/cold for a sensory experience) and a freestanding bathtub perfect for relaxation. The suite also has a private walk-in wardrobe (which can be shared).
SECOND FRESCOED ROOM,
is the most scenic room in the house: the ceilings and walls are embellished with original frescoes depicting sacred and historical scenes, which are also protected by the Superintendency. Sleeping here means enjoying a very rare cultural and sensory experience. The en-suite bathroom is divided into three distinct areas (shower, toilet/bidet, vanity) and the room has a private walk-in wardrobe (which can be shared).
THIRD MODERN CHAMBER,
with an essential and contemporary design, it is perfect for those who love a linear and relaxed style. The bespoke king-size bed in Brera Design Milano velvet maintains consistency and prestige. The room has a full en-suite bathroom with shower, finished with quality materials and designed to offer maximum practicality.
FOURTH CHAMBER,
intimate and versatile, with a French bed, also ideal for a more cosy space without sacrificing style and comfort. It is equipped with a functional desk, perfect for those who work while travelling, and a large wardrobe, also suitable for long stays.
THE LOCATION
allows you to experience Florence with a rare balance: in the heart of the historic centre, but in an authentic, elegant and quieter setting, among shops, restaurants and city views away from the busiest tourist flows.
To complete the experience, exclusive services are available on request:
– private chef in residence, for gourmet dinners or tailor-made experiences
– wine tasting and private tastings
– private transfers and NCC from/to airport and station
– customised tours (Florence, Chianti, Siena and surroundings)
– exclusive experiences and dedicated concierge
Borgo La Croce – Santa Croce Art & Design Residence is the ideal choice for those who want to experience Florence in a sophisticated and authentic way, in an art residence where every detail is designed to combine beauty, comfort and uniqueness.

Neighbourhood highlights
The Borgo la Croce district is one of the most popular areas for those who want to experience an authentic but very central Florence: you are in the historical heart, but with a more "local" atmosphere, made up of shops, small clubs and neighbourhood life.
American tourists (and others) love it here because:
It is super walkable: in a few minutes you can reach Santa Croce, along the Arno and towards the centre (Duomo/Signoria) with beautiful walks through historic alleys.
Real food vibe: you are close to one of the most interesting areas to experience the “real” Florence, with delicatessens, cafés and trattorias where you can eat well without the “too touristy” effect.
Artisan and stylish atmosphere: the area combines Florentine tradition and small contemporary gems (wine bars, shops, galleries), perfect for those who love the "dolce vita" without crowds.
It's a neighbourhood that makes you feel like you're inside the city, not "visiting": in the evening it's pleasant for an aperitif or a quiet dinner, and during the day it's perfect as a strategic base for exploring everything on foot.
