Hotel Il Poeta Dante

“There is a small hotel in Florence. It is called Dante and it has always been the “Florentine house” of many actors of theatre who during the year recite in the city.
Secluded almost hidden, it is located in via San Cristofano (two steps from Santa Croce) an ancient alley, survivor of a Florence that no longer exists, or that resists only in the prints of Alinari and in the memories of those who have white hair.
