The 19 air-conditioned rooms feature low beamed ceilings, exposed brickwork, and fresco fragments. Each room includes free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, minibar, safety deposit box, and private bathroom with olive oil-based toiletries. Some rooms have black accents and Audrey Hepburn film posters.

Central Florence Location

The hotel sits in Florence's historic center, 500 meters from Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and 300 meters from Ponte Vecchio. Palazzo Pitti and Basilica of Santa Maria Novella are within 500 meters. Florence Santa Maria Novella train station is a 10-minute walk, and Florence Airport is 10 km away.

Family-Run Hospitality Services

The Fuzier Cayla family personally manages the hotel with multi-lingual staff speaking English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

Evening Wine Reception

Guests gather each evening in the lobby with tufted leather sofas and woven rugs for complimentary wine and prosecco with snacks. The common area includes a television for guest use. The hotel maintains a pensione-style atmosphere with limited additional facilities.

“The family-run Hotel Davanzati struck me as a particularly inviting base for exploring Florence. Its central location places guests within easy reach of the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery, and the hotel's blend of historical charm and modern amenities, like air conditioning and complimentary breakfast, is a definite plus. I especially appreciate the complimentary happy hour, which adds an unexpected layer of hospitality.”
