Relais Santa Croce

Beautiful decor but poor functionality. I was unable to set the AC below 18 degrees Celsius. The staff told me this was a law - that was wrong. The temperature in my room never went below 19 and, therefore, I was not able to sleep well. The shower was impossible- complicated and I could never get it to work properly. My own pet peeve is when they put the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the same containers and labeled in type so small, it is impossible to read without glasses. The sink drained slowly. We were a group who started early on some days but the hotel refused to open the breakfast area ( or provide room service) before 7.30 am. Not accessible - steps into the lobby and no ramp. I was glad to leave.

High-end hotel with wonderful staff - very friendly and accommodating. However, rooms had no comfortable seating areas - basically a bench in front of bed and stiff chair. The bathroom was spacious, however, the shower was smaller than normal - effectively an uncomfortable, small shower, not well lit and very dated. For the money that was paid, expected more from the room. If staying in Florence again, would seek another hotel (other than pleasant service, no reason to choose hotel) and perhaps closer to the Uffizi Galleries area.

The fabulous city of Florence⚜️that open-air museum, was the place chosen to celebrate our 20th Anniversary of L🫶VE and happiness. We chose the beautiful Baglioni Santa Croce hotel because we knew the magnificent Baglioni Luna🌝in Venice. The welcome and kindness of the staff was always very professional and very kind; I want to highlight the friendliness Peruvian Housekeeping lady and the Signora colleagues. Also,Daniele, Giovanni, Elena in the restaurant and to Mohamed and the kind team at the desk. Unfortunately, during the week we were there, we found a serious problem in the bathroom with a dangerous leak in the shower and sink. I cannot understand that in a 5 star luxury hotel there are such problems that not only conspire against the happiness of being in the hotel but also with the danger of an accident for the client. On many occasions I complained at the reception and despite the apologies the problem was never resolved even though on 2 occasions I slipped due to the amount of water that flooded around the shower space. Every day I had to put towels to absorb the water that appeared. We thought about changing rooms but since the management who should normally be in the know did not propose anything to us we thought that the hotel was full. At the end of our week at the hotel, the professional Mrs. Dorina, as a gesture of goodwill, eliminated our taxes and 3 bottles of water. It is unfortunate that the manager never came to at least apologize. Ps. I advise future clients to avoid room 204 and the surrounding areas due to the noise caused by the doors in the hallway when passing by the kind house keeping ladies. And, book in advance directly an extraordinary dinner at the fabulous Picchiorri restaurant with Mr. Tomberli. This one does not belong to the hotel even though it is in the same space at the entrance. I wish you enjoy the Faboulous City of Florence ✨

Our honeymoon at Relais Santa Croce was simply enchanting. The Grand Deluxe Double Room provided a uniquely decorated retreat with stunning views of historic Florence. Impeccable service, elegant accommodations, and a prime location in the heart of the city made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend this romantic haven for anyone seeking a memorable getaway in Florence.

The staff are even more wonderful than the amenities and the location! Before our arrival, they arranged for tickets to the museums. They advised on train travel from Rome. When my husband suffered a walking injury, the staff got us to a clinic where he received excellent care. They were attentive throughout. Most highly recommended. Perfect spot for a stay in the best city in the world! Thank you!
