Hotel Croce di Malta in Firenze, open June–September.
Hotel Croce di Malta occupies a 16th-century Renaissance palazzo on Florence's historic Via della Scala, with views across the terracotta rooftops of the city's centro storico.
The honey-colored stone façade and arched windows frame the Arno River valley and distant hills beyond.
Inside, vaulted ceilings, frescoed details, and period architecture create an atmosphere of Florentine grandeur for ceremonies and receptions.
We loved our stay at Croce di Malta. Everyone there was kind and helpful. The room was perfect and had a small balcony with a nice view of the neighborhood. The hotel was just a short walk from any number of attractions in the area and was located right next to the Christmas market. The breakfast was tasty, as well. I would definitely recommend this location for anyone visiting the area and would stay again.
