Description
Guest can enjoy original frescoes along with more modern styling to provide the ultimate luxury accommodation. The rooms are comfortably and elegantly designed with views across to the Santa Croce Basilica and Duomo. Two of the suites house magnificent frescoes.
The music room provides the perfect setting to sit and relax under the stunning frescoed ceiling. During the time when the Palazzo was a private residence, the room used to have a candlelit chandelier. In the corner of the room is a tiny doorway which leads to a secret room above the ceiling. Here the staff would raise up the chandelier and light the candles. From the second floor guests have access to the extraordinary room via a windowed viewing platform.
The hotel restaurant Guelfi e Ghibellini offers seasonal regional menus with an innovative flair. The food has a distinctive Mediterranean character and is perfectly complimented by a selection of Tuscan wines. If you really feel like treating yourselves, situated within the same building as the Relais Santa Croce is the Enoteca Pinchiorri, a three-star Michelin restaurant.

When to travel
Florence is an exciting place to visit at any time of the year, and most attractions are open all year round. The best time to visit Florence is in May, early June, late September and October. Days during those months are usually warm, and quite long. July and August are hot and humid with many tourists. Since most Italians leave their hot cities in the summer, many restaurants are closed in Florence.
Winter can get cold, particularly January but it is quiet. Temperatures are more favourable in the spring and autumn months.
