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!

Relais Santa Croce is a 5* star property and is the old home of the treasurer to the Pope. The property itself is grand and charming with incredibly high ceilings and a literal work of art. The staff is very professional and personal. The entire team, including the GM, makes you feel at home and very welcomed. The rooms are... More

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....

Booked a Junior Suite based on the leaflet and the website and paid E595 each night for three nights for basically a double room with ensuite and a 2m square wardrobe "room" by the door.

My husband and I spent nearly a week at the Relais Santa Croce on vacation. I'm a bit conflicted about this hotel. The facility is everything you would expect of a small charming boutique hotel in a former palazzo.. That is also wonderfully located. We had reserved a suite several months in advance.
