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."

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