Amazing hotel and location! Loved it!

The Hotel Balestri was excellent. The location was superb, just a couple of blocks from the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Santa Croce and many of Florence’s sites. The hotel has a great breakfast and some amazing views. Rooms on the upper floors can see the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio from their windows. My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Florence.

Traveler's tip on dining

Try the Gelateria dei Neri, on the Via dei Neri just a block or two from the hotel. The gelato there is amazing. Also try Aqua al 2 for dinner, excellent food.
