“Excellent choice for small hotel in heart of Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

A wonderful hotel at a perfect location, the Davanzati is ideal for anyone exploring Florence. The manager of this family operated hotel is Fabrizio who is incredibly efficient in responding to any questions or requests by phone or email and in person. He will set up great tours, arrange for tickets to popular attractions, make restaurant reservations and offer a wide array of suggested excursions through their sister company ijustdrive. The hotel incorporates the historical building with updated facilities. The full breakfast is delicious and the evening wine is most enjoyable. You have plenty of opportunities to share experiences with fellow quests. Being small in this case is an advantage because of the outstanding personal service and willingness to assist in any way possible. No doubt deserves its high ratings.

Room Tip: if regular rooms not available,even the smaller are well equiped and offer great value

“Five star except...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This place was great. There is the father; a totally charming and lovely older gentleman who clearly loves his hotel and customers. Then there is the son who is attentive, funny, efficient, highly professional, very bright and knows how to manage his hotel from top to bottom, AND who provides excellent customer service.

Then there is the grandson. He is way too familiar and casual toward customers, is sloppy in appearance, and is a poor representative of this otherwise lovely hotel. His customer service is mostly comprised of a big, bright smile and a "how you doing." Really? When I'm paying €200/night and dress nicely for breakfast and evening happy hour, I don't want to be greeted at the front desk by a dude in jeans and T-shirt. This is the only reason I have rated service anything but excellent.

Hotel Davanzati deserves 5 dots, except for this flaw.

“Great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Really enjoyed my stay. Friendly staff, nice room, GREAT location. Will be staying there again when I return to Florence. I didn't eat there, but the breakfast looked good. The stairs are not an issue. Walking distance to everything in the heart of the city. They recommended 2 great restaurants (and made the reservations).

“Already thinking about my return to trip to Florence!”

Charming family run hotel right in the heart of Florence. I wholeheartedly second the comments regarding the quaintness of the family-run hotel. Lovely breakfast and happy hour, as well as spacious room are a delight.
All questions and requests were received with a huge smilie and efficiently provided.

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

Loved the rooms and the quaintness of this hotel. The evening happy hour was fun. Got to meet other travelers and share their experiences. The family who run this hotel are three generations. Each one of them delightful, helpful, and most of all welcoming. Would most definitely stay again, so that mean would highly recommend them. Fabulous stay. Loved it
