Rooms with Views
Hotel Relais Il Cestello has 10 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and satellite channels. Some rooms overlook River Arno, while others face Cestello Church or Florentine rooftops. Each room includes an en-suite bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer, and terracotta floors.
Dining & Drinks
A continental breakfast is served daily with freshly prepared coffee, cold cuts, and cheese, alongside views of Cestello Church and Arno. The cozy bar in the lobby offers Italian espresso, cappuccino, American coffee, and alcoholic beverages. There is no full-service restaurant, but the Oltrarno district has many dining options nearby.
Leisure & Amenities
Facilities include a small bar, self-parking, and a common-area refrigerator. The reception features rustic white wood furniture, terra cotta floors, and an original brick-and-wood-beamed ceiling. Safety measures include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and a first aid kit.
Prime Oltrarno Location
The hotel sits on the south bank of River Arno in Piazza di Cestello, a quiet area with local Florentine charm. It's a 1.5 km walk to Florence Santa Maria Novella train station and 10 km from Peretola Airport. Nearby landmarks include Ponte Vecchio (1 km), Uffizi Gallery, and Brunelleschi's Duomo.
Family-Run Hospitality
This small, family-run hotel focuses on personalized service with just 10 rooms. Guests can walk to high-fashion boutiques, antique stores, and major attractions like Palazzo Vecchio and Boboli Gardens. The Oltrarno district maintains traditional Florentine character with local restaurants and artisans.
Must-do experiences
- Sample the Florentine ribollita at Trattoria da Burde.
- Stroll through the Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio for fresh local produce.
- Visit the lesser-known Museo di San Marco for stunning frescoes.
- Take a sunset walk along the Arno River for breathtaking views.
- Enjoy gelato at Gelateria dei Neri, a local favorite.
