Select rooms include a custom kitchenette with kettle, kitchenware, and electric kettle for preparing light meals. All units have a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with bidet and hair dryer; some rooms also provide a separate seating area.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The hotel sits 500 meters from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and 400 meters from Piazza della Signoria, placing guests within a short walk of Florence's most visited landmarks. The Accademia Gallery and Uffizi Gallery are both 1 kilometer away, and Ponte Vecchio is 700 meters from the property. With an excellent location score of 9.4, the hotel provides easy access to restaurants, bars, and cultural sites by foot.
Hotel Amenities & Services
Santa Croce Exclusive is a smoke-free property with soundproof rooms, allergy-free units, and air conditioning throughout the building. Free WiFi reaches 287 Mbps across the guest house, and a lift provides floor access for guests who prefer not to use stairs. The hotel is managed by a private host and offers lockers, key access, fire extinguishers, and an invoice service for business travelers.

The property also offers heating throughout, making it suitable for colder months when traveling with a pet.
Adults-Only Experience
Santa Croce Exclusive enforces an adults-only policy, creating a quiet environment geared toward couples seeking a romantic escape in Florence.

“The location is a true highlight, placing you moments from the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery, yet somehow it maintains a quiet atmosphere; plus, the self check-in is streamlined by a very helpful property manager. I found the apartment's size impressive, particularly with the unexpected perk of a private elevator opening directly into the space, which really gives it that deluxe feel.”
