An elegant, peaceful relais, overflowing with art and history, completely made from scratch where once stood the tower-houses of the noble families of Florence, cradle of the Renaissance: the Relais Uffizi lies in the deepest heart of the city, right in Piazza della Signoria, just a few meters away from the Uffizi Gallery. Hosted in a sixteenth-century carefully restored palace, today our relais comes to new life with a totally modern look, but keeps track of an illustrious past, when it was a noble residence in the most lively part of the historic center. It is a relais with a modern concept, refined and wedded to art: among paintings, statues and sumptuous furnishing, everything is conceived to warmly welcome and make you feel at home in the heart of Florence. Furniture and materials play with the elegant shades of petroleum blue contrasting with beige and gold that warm up the environment. In addition, all rooms are soundproofed, in order to allow our guests a good rest. Customized and attentive to the needs of our guests, the services of our relais are an invitation to stay: our lounge bar with a view on Piazza della Signoria, free Wi-Fi, breakfast included with three different a la carte menus to choose from, the concierge service to reserve tours and museum tickets, family rooms, a reception desk open 24 hours a day, a tea room with a wonderful samovar at guests’ disposa, Samsung TV with Chromecast, minibar in the room and much more await you. At the Relais Uffizi every stay is created professionally and tailor-made according to your taste and needs. Our bar hosts the breakfast service and awaits you anytime of the day: at the comfortable tables overlooking Piazza della Signoria or on the soft couches, you can take your time for a coffee or an aperitif, a cocktail or a liqueur after dinner, as well as for a quick lunch or a selection of cheese and cured-meats of course to match with an excellent selection of Tuscan wines. The Relais degli Uffizi lies in the historical part of Florence: in 16, Chiasso del Buco, you access from Chiasso dei Baroncelli, a narrow medieval alley that opens up on Piazza della Signoria and flanks the Uffizi Gallery. Spending a holiday in our relais means take a trip back to the XVI century Florence and fully relive the atmosphere of that time: here resided some of Florence’s most eminent families and there were workshops of painters, blacksmiths and farriers. To reach the city’s wonderful attractions it only takes a few minute walk: you only need to get out of our relais to find yourself in Piazza della Signoria, in front of Palazzo Vecchio, the statue of David by Michelangelo, the Loggia della Signoria, the Fountain of Neptune and then the Uffizi. In just five minutes, you get to the Ponte Vecchio, the Florence Cathedral and Santa Croce.
