This hotel, although not centrally in the heart of Florence, is located within walking distance to the main attractions of Florence and excellent restaurants. It has a well-thought out mix of both contemporary touches and the traditional. The older and grander public spaces remain intact, the dining room is charming, and there is both a small bar area and a... more

Upon my arrival at the hotel I was delighted by the beauty of the Palazzo and the room. The doormen were lovely. While there was no view to speak of, the room was well-decorated and comfortable. However, the bed was not. Nothing in the hotel really seemed to work that well. I can't justify $400 a night -plus, for a... more

My partner and I enjoyed this hotel immensely. We stayed for a weekend in June and were really overwhelmed by the beauty of the building. Our room was spacious, luxurious and very clean. The staff were really helpful and only a short walk away from everything. Beautiful common areas, that remind you your in Florence. Great value all round! more

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. For our honeymoon, we stayed there for 3 nights at the beginning of May, 2009. Because it was a quiet time for the hotel we got a good deal which included breakfast and taxes. Service was very pleasant; room was clean. We especially liked the design of the room. It looked like... more

Service good, particularly the nice touch of leaving a plate of chocolate coated strawberries on the first night, and the public rooms are beautiful. Only quibble being the... more

The relais santa croce is one of those hotels that cannot be overrated. No matter what you think you might experience when booking this hotel, you'll be impressed. I stayed in this hotel with my daughter for her graduation present and it was absolutely amazing. From the welcome champagne in the room to the spacious room, awesome breakfast and lovely... more

I have always meant to write a review for this hotel, and better late than never, as it is to this day one of my most memorable hotel experiences. I found this hotel online and was drawn to the classic old-world, boutique-feel it seemed to have. It was my first time to Italy and I wanted to do it up... more

My friend and I just returned from a glorious 4 day trip in Florence. We booked the Relais Santa Croce after winning a bid at Luxury Link and could not have been more pleased. The hotel itself is gorgeous - a perfect balance of Florentine architecture, old world touches and modern amenities. The main lobby lounge is a dream come... more
