Sanwiched in between Rome and the Tuscan countryside, Florence was a single night stop on our vacation. I wish that we could have stayed longer. That is because the Hotel Davanzati was a wonderful find and showed us what a great hotel could be. First, the location. Right in the middle of everything. A 5-10 minute walk gets you to... more

What a find in busy Florence! Fabrizio and his family are wonderful hosts. Our superior double room was the largest we had in Italy. We loved having our own laptop! The only downside is the long flight of steps to get to the hotel entrance, but ring the bell and get some help if you can't manage them. Once inside,... more

What a wonderful hotel! This family operated hotel is a gem. I booked the Hotel Davanzati because of the TripAdvisor rating. We were not disappointed. The rooms were large and comfortable. The staff were very friendly, making every effort to make us feel at home. They helped us book guides, museum tickets and dinner reservations. The nightly happy hour was... more

The Davanzati was our second stop out of three and was our favorite hotel by far. We stayed in Rome first and finished in Venice and stay in 3 and 4 star hotels and this 3 star was better than our 4 star hotel. If you are a native english speaker and it is your first time to Italy, this... more

Can't say enough! The hotel was wonderful - the staff (espically Fabrizio), the room (modern, clean and comfortable) and the location. I espically appreciated the laptop in the room - very convenient. Fabrizio and Tom were very helpful in making museum reservations as well as dinner reservations. Don't miss Natalinos on your visit - espically the Pear Ravoli in Gargonzola... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Davanzati. The staff is excellent. They are willing to help with anything you could possibly need. We were given dinner recommendations and were always incredibly pleased. The rooms are larger than most you will find in Italy. Having a laptop in each room with wifi internet access was terrific. You are close... more

What an excellent experience. I had high expectations for Hotel Davanzati and was not disappointed. Our deluxe superior room was a very cozy retreat from the hustle and bustle of the day. And the location is perfect for everything you will want to do in Florence. Staff recommendations were spot on. While you should expect a little street noise at... more

Excellent hotel - reviews fully justified. Lovely rooms; great location; spot-on, very helpful advice re. restaurants, galleries etc. Excellent room facilities - especially provision of a personal laptop! Original idea re. "Happy Hour" lets you meet other guests naturally. Would heartily recommend on all counts. more

Everything we read about the Davanzati was true - fabulous location, comfortable, attractive, and gracious. Perhaps best of all were the staff, the most welcoming, helpful, pleasant people imaginable. We arrived tired and jet lagged on Christmas night, and as nearly everything in the city was shut down, all the hotel guests were invited to join Fabrizio, Tomaso and their... more
