About
Hotel Cestelli
Hotel Cestelli is a modest, characterful hotel set in the very heart of Florence. Its position on Borgo Ss. Apostoli puts you within a five-minute walk of Ponte Vecchio, and the sprawling historic centre is at your doorstep. The building is smoke-free throughout, and every room comes with complimentary Wi-Fi.
The hotel keeps things simple: a selection of single, double and triple rooms, many with private bathrooms, and a few with city views. The interior leans on vintage furniture and parquet flooring, giving the space a homely, old-world feel. With a lift, luggage storage and a concierge desk, it covers the essentials without any fuss.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Unbeatable central location — Just a five-minute walk from Ponte Vecchio and within easy reach of the cathedral, Medici palace and other historic sites.
- Warm, helpful staff — Guests repeatedly mention the friendly owners and staff, who give clear recommendations and local tips.
- Clean, spacious rooms — Visitors note rooms are larger than expected, clean, and comfortable, with a cosy vintage decor.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Standard single and double rooms do not come with a private bathroom, though guest feedback indicates they are kept clean.
- Street noise in the evenings — With the window open, music from the square below can be heard in the rooms, which may bother light sleepers.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 20:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
