Relais Santa Croce
This elegant Florentine hotel is located in the central Via Ghibellina, between the Santa Croce Basilica and the Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore), and a few minutes from the Uffizi Gallery and the Ponte Vecchio bridge. At the beginning of the 1700s, Marquis Baldinucci, treasurer to the Pope, built a magnificent palace in Florence. The epitome of grandeur, it featured two imposing granite columns at the entrance, which he brought from Rome. Today, Ciofi-Jacometti Palace has returned to its age-old splendour. The recent restoration work was realised while fully respecting the original architectural elements of the building, recovering the precious fabric, the period furniture and the original frescoes dating back to the 18th Century. The result is a building with a unique atmosphere, where tradition and modernity live comfortably side by side. In this splendid setting, guests bask in the full attention of the hotel's professional staff, making a stay at Relais Santa Croce truly unforgettable. Luxury and refinement are the predominant features of the palace. Bedrooms feature adjustable air conditioning, internet, satellite TV, mini bar and safe deposit box, and are characterized by great attention to detail, period furniture, sumptuous fabrics and luxury finishings.
