Hotel Davanzati

The 6 Best Hotels in Florence (Updated 2025)

"Just a block from Ponte Vecchio in the heart of the historic center, this cozy three-star hotel offers a lot of value: a free continental breakfast with fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, pastries, and cold cuts, plus social hours with complimentary drinks and snacks (afternoon tea and cakes) and an aperitivo with Prosecco and savory bites. The rooms have pastel-colored walls with historic drawings and maps, are generally spacious with comfy beds, a desk, flatscreen TV, and wardrobe, and the bathrooms are large with heated towel racks and showers with excellent water pressure. The staff really go out of their way to help, though note there is no elevator so it’s not the best choice for guests with mobility issues." - Matthew Kepnes
