Tourist House Santa Croce, Florence Overview
Tourist House Santa Croce is located in Florence, Italy. Rated 5.8 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
Tourist House Santa Croce is a small, pet-friendly stay in Florence, Italy, on Via Ghibellina 95 near the Santa Croce area. With just 6 individually styled guestrooms, it suits travelers who prefer a more personal, low-key base rather than a large hotel. The check-in window runs from 12:00 PM to midnight, and check-out is at 11:00 AM, which helps if you’re planning a full day of sightseeing.
Guest feedback is limited, with an overall rating of 5.8/10 from 5 reviews, so it’s best viewed as a practical option for those prioritizing location and flexibility over polished, high-end service. In the spirit of that smaller setup, the property leans on shared conveniences: there’s free WiFi for staying in touch, and you can use a shared microwave and shared refrigerator for simple meal prep. Common areas also include a television, and the staff is multilingual, which can make logistics easier when you’re navigating Florence.
From this part of town, you can reach major highlights on foot or with short rides. Basilica di Santa Croce sits essentially nearby, while the Duomo is about 1 km away and the Accademia Gallery is roughly 1 km from the property. For a longer but still manageable walk, the Uffizi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio are around 2 km.
Best for solo travelers and couples who want to explore Florence at street level, and for pet owners who need a place that allows pets without turning the trip into a complicated exercise.
