Area Uffizi
Hotel Santa Croce is immersed in the heart of the Historical Centre of Florence, right on the ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheater. In the building next door, the illustrious Michelangelo Buonarroti lived the years of his youth, while within walking distance you can reach all the main monuments and museums, as well as typical restaurants, the most famous clubs of the Florentine nightlife and the most prestigious fashion boutiques. Located just 100 meters between Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza Santa Croce, our hotel is therefore also in the immediate vicinity of the Duomo and the precious Ponte Vecchio.

The location is excellent and the hosts are very friendly. The room, although dated, has the necessary comfort. The breakfast is quite poor with little variety. For one day it's fine, but for more than one day the quality and variety are insufficient; there are no options other than processed foods and it is inadequate.

Prezada Beatriz, ficamos muito felizes que tenha gostado da sua estadia em nosso Hotel, em especial da nossa excelente localização no coração do Centro Histórico, da calorosa recepção de toda a nossa Equipe e do conforto das nossas acomodações. Em relação ao seu comentário sobre o café da manhã, não entendemos por que você diz que ele oferece apenas produtos embalados e por que o considera ruim, apesar de ser um buffet realmente generoso para um hotel da nossa categoria. Ele também inclui pãezinhos frescos com ovos, presunto, queijo fatiado, queijo cremoso, pão branco e integral, e outros itens que variam conforme a estação. Outros itens incluem frutas frescas, diversos tipos de doces e croissants recheados frescos, entregues todas as manhãs por confeitarias e padarias renomada e locais. Entre as outras opções doces, estão muffins, bolos de ameixa, tortas de geleia e chocolate, biscoitos, torradas, iogurtes de diversos sabores, cereais variados (flocos de milho, arroz tufado, etc.), geleias variadas, creme de chocolate, mel, manteiga e outros produtos. As bebidas incluem uma variedade de sucos de frutas e bebidas quentes de todos os tipos (café americano, expresso italiano, café descafeinado, cappuccino, chás clássicos, chá verde e outros sabores, camomila, leite, chocolate, cevada, etc.); leite de soja, produtos sem glúten e opções sem lactose (sob encomenda). Nossos cafés são preparados com grãos moídos na hora. Em resumo, um café da manhã bem completo com diversos produtos embalados (locais e de excelente qualidade), conforme exigido por lei, visto que não possuímos cozinha própria, além de uma ampla variedade de produtos frescos entregues todas as manhãs por confeitarias e padarias locais. Dito isso, e para esclarecer a todos os nossos leitores, agradecemos novamente a sua excelente avaliação e esperamos recebê-lo(a) novamente em breve. Atenciosamente, Equipe do Hotel Santa Croce
