The Balestri is a 4-star boutique hotel totally renovated in 2015 with a great atmosphere overlooking the River Arno. In the Santa Croce area, it is but a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery. Having been refurbished, the building retains all the architectural charm of its period. The communal areas of the hotel have an elegant and nostalgic mood with Art Deco-style furniture, large windows, vaulted ceilings, large mirrors and marble flooring.

Many offer privileged views of Florence, with the most exclusive having romantic private terraces overlooking the river. From the rooftop terrace, you can admire the Cathedral, Giotto's Bell Tower and Palazzo Vecchio.
