HOTEL DAVID, Florence

The hotel is located on Via Michelangelo, just outside the ZTL, making car access stress-free. The C4 bus stops directly in front of the building and connects to Santa Maria Novella station in about 25 minutes. Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo are within a 15-20 minute walk along the river, while Piazzale Michelangelo is roughly a 15-minute stroll uphill. Several local restaurants, cafes, and a popular bakery are within a 3-minute walk. Taxis from the train station cost about 20 € and take 15-20 minutes.

Accommodation includes double rooms and suites, some with balconies or terraces overlooking the inner courtyard, city, or surrounding gardens. The largest rooms measure up to 24 m2 with king-size beds (180x190 cm). Bathrooms feature showers, bidets, toiletries, and hairdryers. Rooms are described as spacious and well-maintained; those overlooking the street are noted to be quiet thanks to the building's detached layout. Some rooms include soundproofing. The hotel is set in a 19th-century building, and the overall atmosphere is classic and charming.

Breakfast includes a variety of options such as pastries, fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, eggs, cheeses, meats, juices, and hot beverages. Happy hour runs from 18:30 to 20:00 in the lobby or garden, featuring wine, prosecco, soft drinks, and a selection of finger foods.

The shared lounge/TV area provides a quiet indoor retreat. The property is close to the river Arno and within walking distance of Piazzale Michelangelo and the Rose Garden, making it a good base for exploring the Oltrarno's cultural sites on foot.
