Dante Alighieri's house is located in the heart of Florence. It is believed to have been destroyed, and its current appearance dates back to 1911. It houses a museum that displays maps, documents, and drawings related to Dante. There is also a bookstore that sells his works. Outside, in the small square in front of the house, on one of the tiles in the square, you can look and recognize a side ima...

Great place. Little hard to find but just follow maps and you will find it. It was such an eye opener on a person I thought was a dull old bore. Far from it.

It has alot of information but also alot of intera...

The most useless museum I’ve ever been! Spoiler : The are no personal belongings of Dante, there are no furniture. Nothing! Only if you like to watch tv - you will enjoy! Because museum is full of tvs where you just watch videos about Dante. Oh and fake printed papers from medievals🤦🏼 they just try to take money on his name and location.

This is a very cool, unique and historical museum. The collection is impressive, the items are very well preserved and displayed. It’s sad that Dante had to flee Florence and couldn’t return but his house is a very special place to visit. I really enjoyed my time here and I would definitely recommend visiting this amazingly historical museum.

The AC in the room was not working well at all, and it was very, very hot outside. The rooms were spacious and clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. The air conditioning not functioning properly made it hard to sleep, but the other amenities ...
