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 bulding, recovering the precious fabric, the period furniture and the original frescos dating back to the XVIII century.
 
The result is a unique atmosphere, remaning intact over the centuries in which tradition and modernity life 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 refinde 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 for musical aperitifs or other entertainment shows.
 
Luxury and refinement are the predominant feautures 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 ofthis 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 the Ponte Vecchio.
