We stayed 2 nights in Florence at Hotel Cestelli. We loved the character of the old building and the room was spacious, clean and cool. Allessio and Asumi are really helpful and friendly and made us feel welcome and looked after and gave us loads of advice on where to go. The location is ideal for sightseeing; a few minutes... more

Perfect Location, only minutes to the Uffizi, Santa Croce, The Duomo, Boboli Gardens and around the corner from Ponte Vecchio. It's a little far and confusing from the station, so I recommend taking a taxi (we walked to the station when we left and knew where we were going). The hotel does have some less than luxurious points, that some... more

Stayed for three hot summer nights in July 2008. Me and my wife stayed in Room 4, a very clean, nicely decorated room with private bathroom. *Positives* Fantastically friendly atmosphere. The owners really made us feel most welcome and had great recommendations for nearby restaurants and sights. Follow Alessio's recommendations: He doesn't miss. Spotlessly clean rooms in a very old... more

We recently had a terrible stay at the Hotel Cestelli (it really is not a hotel, more like a pensione), and would not stay there again. The owners Allesio and Asumi are friendly and helpful with dining recommendations. The hotel is clean and is very centrally located. These positives did not make up for the fact that the hotel is... more

My daughter and I stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Cestelli in early June 2008. I would return to this hotel without a second thought, because while the rooms are nice (though nothing to write home about) there are some touches - like chocolates on the dresser every day, and the exquisite lobby, and the helpfulness of the owners -... more

Cestelli was a wonderfoul place for us. Me and my wife were there for 2 nights, in a room with private bath. The rooms are clean. The bathroom ís good. The owners, Alessio and Asumi, were very nice with us. They gave us good informations about the city. Cestelli is very well localizated near Piazza Signoria. Firenze and Cestelli were... more

I stayed at the Hotel Cestelli with a friend in May 2007. It's is a beautiful, and unique hotel. It was so charming. The couple who own the hotel were very nice, and super helpful. They gave us directions, restaurant suggestions, and explained the best way for us to take a day trip to Sienna. It's a very small hotel... more

This was by far the best hotel of our trip. The owners, Alesseo and Assumi, were so helpful and wonderful. They treated you like you were at home. They took the time to add extra touches we never thought of - leaving us a welcome note and congrats on our honeymoon, giving us a bottle of champagne when we got... more

My wife and I first recommended Hotel Cestelli two years ago. We have just returned from our third visit and are just as enthusiastic about this hotel. Alessio and Asumi are still the perfect host and hostess and are as welcoming and helpful as ever. Hotel Cestelli offers a very Italian experience and dare we say it, is quite different... more
