Why we love it
The setting
Cellai Boutique Hotel sits on Via XXVII Aprile, a quiet street a short walk north of Florence's cathedral district. The building keeps its residential character, so you step out into local streets rather than tourist crowds, even though the Duomo is only a few minutes away. Once you have finished walking, there is a rooftop terrace where you can sit and look out over the city's rooftops.
What to expect
The Vanity Double room comes with a full double bed, a private bathroom and air conditioning, and breakfast is included each morning. The decor leans boutique: dark tones, panelled walls and bedside lamps that keep things warm rather than clinical. The hotel stays small, with 77 rooms across four floors, so it feels personal. Free cancellation applies up to mid-May on this booking.
Things to do nearby
Several of Florence's main sights are close by. The Academy Gallery, home to Michelangelo's David, is about 400 metres away, and the Medici Chapels sit roughly 520 metres from the door. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and its Baptistery are both under 700 metres, putting the central squares within an easy walk. Santa Maria Novella station, with onward train connections, is also reachable on foot.
Best for
This suits couples who want a small, design-led base within walking distance of Florence's art and the cathedral, with breakfast sorted and a terrace to come back to.

David and Oltrarno
Start early at the Academy Gallery, a short walk from the hotel, to see Michelangelo's David. Cross the river afterwards to the Oltrarno district for quieter streets and craft workshops, then return to the rooftop terrace.
Medici Chapels and market
Visit the Medici Chapels and the San Lorenzo area in the morning. Pick up any last purchases at the central market before checking out, with the cathedral district on your route back.
