Hotel Le Due Fontane is situated in the famous Renaissance Piazza ‘Santissima Annunziata’, overlooking the bronze works of Tacca and Giambologna. Within a short walk from here, you can reach the Duomo and many other wonderful and historic sights of interest in the city.
Film enthusiasts may recall that the Piazza ‘Santissima Annunziata’ was used as a filming location for ‘A Room with a View’, a film which featured many locations throughout Florence, in particular a scene where Miss Lavish and Lucy's Aunt stroll through the streets of Florence. They arrive at this magnificent piazza with the fine bronze equestrian statue (1608) of Grand Duke Ferdinando de 'Medici with the words "Buongiorno, buongiorno, we salute thee". The site is undoubtedly one of Florence's most beautiful, and one which has hardly changed appearance over the last few centuries and is virtually free of traffic.

We have been very happy to book the trip with you. Full satisfaction. Fine hotel. Very welcoming and helpful staff. The room was fine and clean. We struggled a bit with the water for the shower in the morning. A little dirty in the common areas. Hotel lies perfectly.
Perfect location on a beautiful and calm piazza, walking distance to all attractions, good big rooms, nice bathroom, very sounded, cosy breakfast restaurant.
Nice hotel, but the only thing was that we've got a room without windows - or there were two windows, but the only view was a shaft, which was a bit unpleasant.
