Antica Torre Tornabuoni

This is absolutely perfect location if you’re only in Florence for a few days and want to be walking distance to the most popular areas and museums. Our room was large and a great large bathroom. We loved the very traditional style of the room. There’s also a beautiful terrace at the top of the hotel thay gives you some of the best views of the city for free. There’s a bar as well that I’m sure was wonderful, although we didn’t get to try it.

This is a spectacular place. A hotel in a medieval tower with large comfortable rooms which are are pristine, elegant and absolutely gorgeous with beautiful wall finishes and exquisite lamps. There are exposed original beams in the ceiling and beautifully polished wood floors. The bathroom is gorgeous and very spacious, with lovely wallpaper and products and a wonderful shower. The view out the casement window overlooks the Arno -across the river is a lovely vista of rooftops and the dome of a Basilica. This is a place steeped in history, (the family is linked to the building for centuries and the story is beautifully told in the welcome packet). The building is discreetly tucked away from the main thoroughfare, just off the Ponte Santa Trinita. It’s a lovely quick walk to the square in front of the Duomo, and the Uffizzi and Accademia are minutes away from the Duomo. Doing that early morning walk after a 7 am macchiato and pastry at the Caffe Scudieri was a very special experience as the city woke up. Breakfast at the hotel- also wonderful-is on the 7th floor in a beautiful open plan room with panoramic views of Florence. There is also a bar on the rooftop. (After a distressing mishap with another booking, this unexpected booking was a gift in a myriad of ways- and also was the room which comes with an adjacent room housing a mini spa with private hamman and jacuzzi which was delightful after a day of multiple travel obstacles.) The two ladies at the front desk are lovely, and truly kind and always responsive. As were are all the other hotel staff.

This hotel is a gem! We had a beautifully appointed and very spacious apartment with incredible views of the River. My family and I loved going on the rooftop bar and the breakfast room where we could get a 360 view of Florence. Superb location as well.

Excellent location- our apartment overlooked the Arno. Michael was wonderful in welcoming us even though we arrived at 2am and he even arranged a platter of food for the kids. The library is very nice to relax you can enjoy the street musicians from the small verandah. The apartment is so airy and spacious- a reprieve from the business of the streets in Florence.

The hotel is ideally located. 5-10 mins walk from centre (Duomo). Rooftop Bar & lounge were excellent! Quiet, relaxing & fantastic views. Rooms were a good size & views were excellent. Breakfast was lovely. Plenty of choice, bright room & again lovely views.
