The friendly 3 star Hotel Castri is one of the oldest hotels in Florence and occupies a charming and characteristic edifice constructed back in 1872.

Since the late 1940s, a more international clientele has frequented the Hotel Castri, and this friendly Florence accommodation with over 70 rooms has come to occupy a comfortable spot at the high end of the 3 star Florence hotel market.

Established as a hotel in 1919 and restored to its former glory in 1998, this thoroughly charming Florence 3 star accommodation typically hosted British travellers in the period between the two World Wars grateful for its spacious, peaceful English garden located to the rear of the hotel.

You’ll immediately recognise the 19th century ambience of this classical Florentine building – thanks to the unmistakeable architecture of the time.

Florence was actually the capital of Italy at the time of the Hotel Castri’s construction – in the brief period between Italy’s reunification and its reconciliation with the Catholic Church, which ruled over Rome.

This classical Florentine building captures the mood of that golden age and at the 3 star Hotel Castri we hope to transport you back there, at least in your mind’s eye, for an all round unforgettable trip to one of the world’s most historic and culturally significant cities.

The hotel is a combination of two buildings, both built during a golden age for both Florence and Europe.

Queen Victoria sat upon the throne of the British Empire and with grand ideas of binding Europe together by a succession of royal marriages, the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution were swiftly capturing the imagination of the era.
