Itinerary

Make your own way to the Palazzo Davanzati to meet your guide for your private tour.

Learn about the history of the building, which was built in the late 1400s and purchased by the Davanzati family in 1578. Your guide shares details about the architecture, furniture styles, and the extensive collection of artifacts as you walk through the sumptuously decorated rooms. It now is known as the Museum of the Ancient Florentine House, and it provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of the aristocracy in Florence during the 14th and 15th centuries.

The hope chests throughout the house were so interesting! We loved them, and the household items which were typical of the period. Our guide was very informative and answered all of our questions. Don’t miss the lace exhibition currently ongoing upstairs?

The best experience in Florence

Our guide was wonderful with clear and descriptive explanations and answered all our questions. The house, itself, is a gem and really gives you a better picture of how the nobility lived if your name was not Medici. The house, itself, is wonderful, but we really recommend the extra tour.
