Hotel description
An impressive residence in the heart of Florence is today home to the 5 star luxury hotel Relais Santa Croce. A romantic and historic ambience, excellent service and above all the perfect location in the historic center of Florence makes it the perfect city hotel for a city break to Florence!
The Relais Santa Croce
At the beginning of the 17th century Marquis Maldinucci, the treasurer to the pope, had himself an impressive palace in Florence built – today’s hotel Relais Santa Croce. In this 5 star city hotel in Florence the glory of past eras is easily felt. During the restoration of this historic building extreme care was taken: the original architectonical structure of the Relais Santa Croce was maintained, frescos from the 18th century were uncovered, the stucco on the walls and ceilings was rediscovered and the wooden floors were reconditioned. Antiques from the respective eras enhance and complete the historic image of this wonderful 5 star hotel in Florence. If you are looking for an historic and luxurious ambience for a vacation to Florence then you’ll be very happy with this choice.
A tour through the Relais Santa Croce
On entering this luxury hotel you’ll find yourself in a lobby, the historic brilliance of which astounds even the most experienced visitors to Florence. All of the walls here have been painted and adorned with (mostly golden) stucco and the same goes for the ceilings. A fireplace provides a comfortable warmth and smooth leather sofas offer the opportunity to sit down and let yourself get swept away by the impressive luxury. As soon as you have “recovered” visit the music room at the Relais Santa Croce. This is where small plays and concerts are held on a small stage all year round. Continue into the restaurant, in which you can enjoy culinary specialties from Tuscany in a no less grand ambience – the restaurant is also well-known in the city for its Florentine steak!
