Hotel Bellettini

[PERMANENTLY CLOSED]

Beautiful 15th century hotel, ridden with antiques and stained-glass windows

A hotel has existed in this Renaissance palazzo since the 1600s. Gina and Marzia, sisters and third-generation hoteliers, run this gem of terra-cotta tiles, wrought-iron or carved wood beds, antiques, and stained-glass windows. Room 44 offers a tiny balcony that, blooming with jasmine and geraniums by late spring, makes it second best only to room 45 with its view of the Medici chapels and the Duomo's dome. In 2000, they added a lovely six-room annex with frescoes, marble bathrooms, minibars, and coffeemakers (those are the double rooms that cost 160€). The hotel shares management with the 26-room Le Vigne, Piazza Santa Maria Novella 24 ( tel. 055-294-449; fax 055-230-2263), which absorbs some of the overflow into large but simple renovated rooms. The rates are slightly lower than at the Bellettini, and duplex 119 is great for families. Breakfast is an impressive spread.
