Relais Santa Croce
Intimate and elegant accommodations



Built in the 17th century by Marchese Baldinucci, treasurer to the pope, this restored palazzo is popular with old Florence hands and those who prefer their hotels to feel more like a nobleman’s townhouse. While the hotel’s frescoed first-floor suites, De Pepi and Da Verrazzano, are favourites, couples may prefer room 308, a dainty junior suite whose intimate bedroom opens onto a terrace with views across the rooftops to the nearby Basilica of Santa Croce.
