This was our first trip to Florence and it turned out to be a perfect trip thanks to the wonderful service and attention from the management and staff of the Hotel Davanzati. Even before we arrived they were able to set up tours and prepare us for a wonderful stay. The accommodations were comfortable and we appreciated the laptop computer... more

We chose Davanzati because of its #1 slot on Trip Advisor - and how well-deserved it is! Everything was perfect and we could not have been more delighted. Location excellent; Tommaso's welcome, and ready assistance with everything that we asked about, totally splendid; room and facilities, 5*. Why would you want to stay anywhere else in this wonderful city?? more

We found the Hotel Davanzati through Rick Steves' Florence guide. It surpassed our expectations. We stayed in a suite, which had a lovely little private terrace with a view of the nearby rooftops (not the Duomo, but charming all the same). The suite was roomy and comfortable, with two televisions, a laptop with free Internet access, a mini-bar, a safe,... more

What a gem of a hotel! Do not be put off by the entrance steps which seem dark and unprepossessing. Once you are in the foyer you will be greeted and receive excellent service. This is a hotel with an excellent location for the major tourist attractions - everything is within easy walking distance. The hotel staff believe in good... more

I have stayed in hotels all over the world, mostly 4 and 5 star places for work and I am yet to experience another place of the same quality as this. It is not the most luxurious or the grandest but they have the best service I have ever come across, really nice rooms and free wi-fi. If you don’t... more

This was our 2nd visit to Davanzati, so obviously we were impressed the first time (May 2005 after reading TripAdvisor comments). Would we still be impressed? Davanzati was even better than we remembered - still the wonderful personal service from Fabrizio and Tommaso - working on our behalf to make our holiday a success and to make us fall in... more

I would like to start this review by letting the readers know something about the reviewer. I like new, contemporary hotels and tend to be comfortable in large business "chain" facilities. Give me a new Meridien, Westin or Marriott and I am generally pleased. While many find such hotels cold, I love them. I am not a B & B... more

We loved Hotel Davanzati! We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in May for our second anniversary. The hotel is small and quaint; Fabrizio and Tommaso were so welcoming and accommodating. We loved the nightly "happy hour" where Tommaso lit candles and wine and hors d'oeuvres were served. We also really appreciated the dinner recommendations and reservations that Tommaso... more

This was the second time we stayed at the Davazanti and were given a fairly large room that was as if we were in a basement with a high window only looking up onto someone's private apartment doorway -- the room was otherwise nice but, geeze, rather claustrophobic and dreary with no daylight in the window. Breakfasts are fairly ordinary,... more
