Hotel Martelli
Via Panzani 8
50123 Firenze, Italy
The historic Hotel Martelli was once owned by the Medici family and you can tell. The hotel retains a sense of grandeur with high ceilings, antique flourishes and frescoes at every turn. The location in Via Panzani, between the Duomo and Piazza Santa Maria Novella is perfect for sightseers. All this from a three star hotel!
Hotel Relais il Cestello
Piazza Di Cestello 9
50124 Firenze, Italy
The Relais il Cestello is located in the old Telegram House, a building overlooking a charming little Piazza – the Pizza di Cestello. The Piazza and the historic building are reasons alone for staying here but add to this the fascinating south bank area where the hotel is located, the clean, comfortable rooms and the reasonable price and what you get is one of the best three stars in this part of the city. A great base for sights such as the Palazzo Pitti, Santo Spirito and Masaccio’s peerless frescoes in the church of Santa Maria del’Carmine.
