THE DISTRICT
Its strategic location, places you in one of the oldest districts of the town, in its most authentic medieval heart, nestled between Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio, that you can glimpse looking outside the bedrooms windows, Orsanmichele, La Torre della castagna, and la Badia Fiorentina. You are a stone’s throw from Uffizi Gallery and the Casa di Dante, at 5 minutes walk from the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio.
We are in Via dei Cerchi, in the so-called dantesque district of the city ( even though there’re no certain elements, it’s quite sure that Dante lived in this area), an area still characterized by a dense network of narrow streets and a number of tower-houses (Case Torri), typical architectural typologies of the era, with a dual militar and civil function.
One of the most significant samples is the Casa Torre dei Cerchi, on the corner with Via del Corso.
The tower-houses were owned by the rival families of that time: the Cerchi, the Donati and others that declared themselves loyal to the Bianchi or to the Neri, parties that caused the Dante’s finally exile ( he was on the side of Guelfi Bianchi).
The house of Dante , very popular museum, is an ideal reconstruction built in 1906 in the area where in the medioevo the Alighieri house was.
Instead, the Dante’s church Santa Margherita dei Cerchi is authentic and ancient : here Dante Alighieri and Gemma Donati, the “angel-like” Beatrice, got married.
Even though it’s a touristic area, it has kept its original and charming appearance: strolling around through the narrow alleys and the little squares,you can discover artesan’s shops, typical restaurants and smaller museums such as Museo Marino Marini.
The district is in fact characterized by the presence of important monuments and historic evidences but also by typical trattorie and shops of all kinds.
And how not to help yourself to a walk along the river Arno and its bridges?
This area has plenty of restaurants, taverns and clubs, that animate squares and streets with their outdoor, especially during summertime.
Here you can enjoy the best dishes of Tuscan cuisine, an informal lunch or a romantic dinner.
Ideal for couples or families with children, the district offers everything you may need during your stay.
A couple of blocks away you will find: a bank, a pharmacy, bars, pastry shops, ice cream parlors, pizzerias, typical and ethnic restaurants, supermarkets, hairdressers, laundrette, bus stop.
