Hotel Balestri, Florence: An Unforgettable Stay
My family and I stayed at Hotel Balestri for four days, and it was absolutely amazing. We were fortunate to book a corner unit with breathtaking views of the Arno River and Ponte Vecchio. Waking up to that stunning scenery each morning was truly unforgettable. The hotel’s location is ideal—just a few blocks from everything you’d want to see in Florence. The property is well-maintained, and the service was exceptional throughout our stay. A special mention goes to Davide at the bar, whose skill as a bartender and warm hospitality added to the experience. Hotel Balestri exceeded all our expectations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!
