HistoryThe 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 building, recovering the precious fabric, the period furniture
and the original frescos dating back to the XVIII century.
The result is a unique atmosphere, remaining intact over the centuries in which
tradition and modernity live perfectly side by side. In this splendid setting,
the 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, the guests will be welcomed into a refined 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 today for musical aperitifs or other entertainment shows.
Luxury and refinement are the predominant features 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 of this 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 from Ponte
Vecchio.
