Looking to stay somewhere outside of Florence for 5 days during Christmas week. Please..no big budget hotels!
This is out of the center of town -

If you want another town outside of Florence - there are many... but 15 minutes is tough. You have to get in and out of town and the traffic will take up your time before you are really anywhere else, except maybe Fiesole as mentioned.
