This is an exceptional hotel and more than lived up to the recommendations we had received. The hotel itself is steeped in history and offers a truly luxurious, unique experience. The rooms are wonderfully appointed and the food fabulous. I particularly enjoyed their IT facility which enables you to take a virtual tour of the Uffizi gallery. The service is... More

Just back from 5 days at the Relais Santa Croce. This is a superb proper 5 star hotel. The Hotel itself is very well situated just outside the very hectic and packed touristy area - about a 2 or 3 minute walk and you are in the thick of it. The Hotel itself is a beautiful palazzo - if I... More

A heritage, castle type building nestled within one of Florence's charming little streets, within walking distance from most attractions. The classic, somptuous lobby level, lounge and restaurant (the finest Renaissance style) are in perfect synergy with the contemporary design of the rooms and suites, some of which have some exquisit dramatic touches such as lighting, leather couches and chairs etc....

We had a great time in that Relais. We stayed 3 nights over Easter and really enjoyed it. The rooms are really nicely decorated and with a fantastic view on the Santa Croce Church. The hotel itself is gorgeous and really personal and quiet. The personnel was great, really friendly and helpful!

If seasoned travelers are paying homage to treasures of the Florentine Renaissance, this hotel is the right venue for maximizing art and history. Part of the Baglioni Collection - like the Luna Hotel Baglioni in Venice – the Relais Santa Croce has superb standards for room amenities but is never cheap, especially in Florence which is known for high prices....
