A nice experience. There aren't many artifacts or relics. Rather, they've curated a immersive experience.
I didn’t enter because I saw many reviews complaining that it’s not worthy to enter. There is a curious thing instead. Among the tile stone in front of the house, there is a stone that shows Dante’s face when water is sprinkled on it.
A bit pricey for the entrance fee but neat to see who wrote the inspiration for the book and movie, very cool looking outside, lots of stairs but they do have an elevator too.
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.
My father went to the museum back in 2018 and this year it was completely different. It was still a nice tour of Dante's life and works, but it was severely downsized and many things were gone. They also added a virtual reality aspect, which is nice for some but I get sick easily with VR, so I couldn't wear the goggles for long.
The location is great! This literally a couple of blocks from the train station. The rooftop view is amazing and the burgers there are quite tasty. 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 made it an enjoyable stay. The breakfast offered is pretty good as well. There are many restaurants and attractions walking distance from here.
Great site for a historical perspective on the life and times of Dante Alighieri all within his family home. 3 floors to explore. Definitely worth a visit whether you are a fan of his literary works or his political perspective of the times. One of the most notable Florentines of all times.
