Relais Santa Croce Florence is Florentine luxury, and barely two blocks from the Santa Croce church itself. The 24-room historic boutique property is impeccably restored, with magnificent marbles and frescoes. There are two royal suites on the first floor in a separate area that can be closed off and privatized for families or clients seeking additional discretion.
Located in the historic center of Florence, your every need will be met by a highly professional staff. Rooms feature luxury amenities including welcome treats from the chef. Some rooms have ceiling frescos and many have with views to Basilica di Santa Croce.
There is a distinguished music room that hosts public music events that are free to the guests of the hotel. There is complimentary daily afternoon tea with live piano music. The classically-styled restaurant serves reinterpreted Tuscan and Italian cuisine. There is also a chic bar serving drinks and separate menu for light bites. Unfortunately, there is no gym or spa; however, you can book an in-room massage. Guests have free access to the nearby Swan gym and special rates at a local spa.
Art installations in the hotel are by artists in the area to expose guests to local culture. There is a Michelin star restaurant, Enoteca Pinchiorri, on the first floor. It is independent of the hotel but passing its beautiful garden and inviting smells of Italian cuisine is very hard to resist.
The hotel is in a great location and walkable to the majority of the sites and shopping.
