The street noise gets through even the double glazing, so light sleepers will want to request a room off the road.
Insight Guides "Every bedroom is different in this gorgeous 15th-century palazzo: some have original frescoes, and some overlook an inner courtyard or the cloisters of Santa Maria Novella."

"Hotel Palazzo Dal Borgo Aprile is a family-run hotel in a Renaissance building." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Once owned by the Medici, this palazzo features frescoed ceilings, period paintings and spacious rooms."

Ask for a room overlooking the courtyard since the streets can be quite noisy.
