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.

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.
