We enjoyed our stay. Our room was very clean and quiet..a nice size room and enjoyed the fresco on the cieling. Very walkable. It only took 15 min walk to the train station. We enjoyed the area, and the many dining options. The gelato shop by the river (around the corner) was great.

A perfect Florence base: La Torre del Cestello nails it. From arrival to checkout, everything was seamless. Roxy at reception set the tone - warm, efficient, and full of insider tips that turned good plans into great days. The room was spotless and comfortable, the property charming, and the location ideal: central enough for easy walks to the sights, yet peaceful at night. Professional service without fuss, authentic character without pretense. If you’re heading to Florence, book La Torre del Cestello. You’ll feel looked after from the first hello.

Difficult finding where to go/check in. Luckily for us a couple had just checked in (with difficulty) and directed us where to go (third floor). Picture on website was not our room. A/C in room barely worked. Espresso machine in room was good (2 pods a day).

Amazing stay!

We spent part of our honeymoon at the La Torre Del Cestello and it was amazing. Frederíca made sure it was special for us with a sweet note & bottle of wine as well as recommendations for sightseeing. Plus our room had a beautiful view of the river and city. The room itself was large, nicely decorated and very clean. I would love to come back another time & recommend to others!
