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.

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.”
