We spent five days in Florence at the end of October with my wife enjoying the sun and the incredible sights, which were all handily very close to hotel Davanzati. Admittedly, the Florence city centre is quite compact, but still the hotel managed to be in perfect location. The room on the second floor was spotless, roomy and reasonably quiet, the breakfast better than we expected after our trip to Rome five years ago and the nightly happy hour (complementary chianti, prosecco and nibble) a true treat! Fabrizio, Tommaso and everybody else from the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We will definitely return to hote Davanzati if and when we come back to Florence!

Stayed here for 3 nights. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was good. It's a little expensive, but everything in Italy is expensive. I would definitely stay here again.

My Sicilian grandmother always said the Italian people were warm and friendly. No need to look any further..Hotel Davanzati was exactly that. This family run hotel was clean, central to the museums and the family was extremely friendly. Fabrizio and Tomaso were very helpful in securing reservations for dinner, tours or museums (reservations a must at all museums). We will return to Florence and Hotel Davanzati.

This charming, family-run hotel in the heart of Florence was everything we expected and more. From the moment we arrived, we felt we were in the right place.

Our room was spacious and comfortable, and included both a DVD player and computer for our use. Breakfast each day was lovely, with a good assortment of baked goods and seasonal fresh fruit, along with our choice of espresso, cappuccino, or "American" coffee. During a "happy hour" each evening, our hosts poured complimentary prosecco and wine along with tasty snacks.

Best of all was the friendly, helpful service from everyone in the hotel. Prior to our arrival, they arranged museum tickets and provided suggestions for our stay. Throughout our time in Florence, they recommended restaurants, sites, and shops for our visit. The hotel's location is within walking distance of virtually all Florence's major attractions.

While at the hotel, don't miss the interesting (and free!) museum in the Palazzo Davanzati next door.
