“This guesthouse, nestled in the Santa Croce district, hits a sweet spot: it's near Florence's big attractions but has a local feel. Rooms are thoughtfully designed, and details like reliable hot water stand out, but the real find is the area-Sant'Ambrogio has a charm all its own, thanks to its placement.”
