Located in the Piazza di Cestello, on the south bank of the River Arno in the Oltrarno district, Hotel Relais Il Cestello is near Tony's Pizza, The Coffee Bean, and Urban Outfitters. The hotel is 2.8 mi from Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower, and 15 minutes' walk from Stazione Leopolda. It is also 10 km from Peretola.

Hotel Services

Hotel Relais Il Cestello offers amenities such as self parking, coffee/tea in a common area, and a refrigerator in a common area. The reception area features rustic white wood furniture, terra cotta floors, and an original brick-and-wood-beamed ceiling. Safety features include a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, and a first aid kit.

“This family-run hotel, close to the Cestello Church, offers something larger hotels often miss: a personal touch. I think the location in Oltrarno strikes a good balance, removed from the main tourist crush but still near enough to walk to the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi. The views over the River Arno add a layer of Florentine charm, best enjoyed during breakfast.”
