MSNHotel Relais Santa Croce *****
- Florence



An age-old palace from the 1700's, with frescos on the ceilings, high quality comfort and professional staff at your service. Luxury and refinement in the heart of Florence, between Santa Croce Basilica and the Duomo.


The perfect balance between luxury from times past and modern comfort.

At the beginning of the 1700's Marquis Baldinucci, treasurer to the Pope, had a magnificent palace constructed with two imposing granite columns at the entrance which the Marquis brought from Rome.
Today, Ciofi-Jacometti Palace has returned to its age-old splendour: the recent restoration work was realized while fully respecting the original architectural elements of the building, recovering the precious fabric, the period furniture and the original frescos dating back to the XVIII century.


The result is a unique atmosphere, remaining intact over the centuries in which tradition and modernity live perfectly side by side. In this splendid setting, our guests will be surrounded by the full attention of our professional staff, to make your stay at Relais Santa Croce truly unforgettable.


On entering the hotel, our guests will be welcomed into a refined lounge on the noble floor, which is found beside the charming Music Room.


In this room, protected by moving walls as in the past, there is a small stage which is still used today for musical aperitifs or other entertainment shows.
Luxury and refinement are the predominant features in each atmosphere of the palace, from spacious columns to the splendid bedrooms, culminating in the Royal Suites.


The interior of the building is in perfect harmony with the exclusive position of this prestigious hotel in Florence: In the very central Via Ghibellina, among Santa Croce Basilica and the Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore), a few minutes from the Uffizi Gallery and from Ponte Vecchio.

Address - Via Ghibellina 87- Florence



Florence is a city where every alley, road or square preserves a work of art.

The city that fascinates and charms, a city to discover little by little, walking through its splendid historic centre to admire churches, monuments and historic buildings, such as the eighteenth-century Ciofi-Jacometti Palace, which hosts Relais Santa Croce.

Starting here, you can visit the entire historic centre of Florence on foot: Santa Croce Basilica is 50 meters from the hotel with works of art from Giotto, Cimabue and Brunelleschi.

You can arrive in a few minutes from Via Ghibellina to the Bargello, an important National Museum displaying some of the most famous masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance.

Continuing in the direction of the Arno, you come to the splendid Piazza della Signoria with the Uffizi Gallery and, a little further ahead, the picturesque Ponte Vecchio, one of the symbols of Florence.

About 800 meters from Relais Santa Croce the Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore) arises, whose grand dome was realized by Brunelleschi with frescos by Vasari and Zuccari. There is also the famous square bell tower designed by Giotto and covered with white, green and red marble.


This luxury hotel in Florence is very near Buonarroti House, an interesting museum hosting many of the artist's masterpieces.
