Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1

The hotel is a small boutique hotel close to everything in Florence. The staff were all so very helpful, especially our breakfast waitress. She went out of her way to make sure we all had everything we needed. The breakfast is top-notch. Our room was a king sized bed with an extra bed in a niche. The Panoramic suite was comfortable for myself and my 2 adult daughters. The roof-top bar is not to be missed. Gorgeous views and great drinks and snacks. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom was big enough for us to get ready at the same time. It was a great stay!

I had an incredible stay at Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1. Everything about this historic residence is exceptional. It has breathtaking views across the city from the breakfast terrace and I had a breathtaking view along the Arno from my room. At breakfast there was a scrumptious choice of pastries, cheeses, yoghurts and juices. Service is discreet. Antica Torre's experience and professionalism really shows

This hotel is wonderful! The location is perfect, the views are beautiful, the staff is accommodating and made everything perfect for us. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the breakfast in the morning and having cocktails at the bar, watching the sunset from the terraces. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a really wonderful stay at the Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni:) the hotel is not very big, with the reception on the ground floor and then the rooms on floors five and six. The rooms were exceptionally clean, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous view over the river. The breakfast is wonderful, and there is a super rooftop terrace overlooking Florence on the seventh floor which is really something special. I wouldn't hesitate in returning back.

This amazing hotel is located near the Arno River. It is an easy walk to the train station and every major historic attraction. Our lovely room had a private terrace with stunning views of the Duomo and city rooftops. The rooftop bar and breakfast rooms both had picturesque outdoor seating with amazing views of the city. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were kind enough to let us in early to accommodate some early tickets and tours we had scheduled. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Special place with exceptional service. Quiet, peaceful escape from the energy of the city. Views from the rooftops were amazing and lunch was one of the best we had in all of Tuscany. Highly recommend. Conde Nast top hotel for very good reason. We will definitely stay here when we are in Florence again.

Great stay at this very centrally located hotel, easy to find. Although close to all main attractions, via Tornabuoni itself is not too crowded nor noisy. The Hammam suite is very spacious and relaxing after a day of walking. Great views from the rooftop, the drinks are not the best, but this can be expected from a hotel bar. Breakfast is also quite good.

We had been looking forward to staying at Antica Torre for over a year, but unfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations. While the room was lovely and the location convenient for exploring Florence, the service left much to be desired.||The reception was manned by just one person who had to double as concierge and handle everything else, which made the service feel stretched and impersonal. The breakfast experience was even more disappointing—only one staff member was managing the room, and her rude attitude and visible unhappiness to be there soured the start to our mornings.||It’s a shame because the hotel itself has potential, but as the saying goes, a hotel is only as good as its staff. Sadly, the lack of attentiveness and professionalism overshadowed what could have been a great stay.

Beautiful hotel near several main attractions in Florence. Our room was on the 6th floor which was perfect for access to the terrace bar and breakfast terrace. This was the most comfortable bed and pillows I have slept on in our time in Italy. Our room was spacious and we had a window that overlooked the Arno. I loved that you could see the old beams in the ceiling. The views from the breakfast and bar terraces were stunning. We got beautiful pics of the Duomo, including one next to a rainbow as it rained on and off during our time in Florence. The bar terrace even had shawls on the back of chairs to wrap around your shoulders and keep away the chill. We went up there and played cards one afternoon and it was quiet and relaxing. Service was excellent. We often pointed at a restaurant name and asked them to make reservations for us. One night, the places we asked for were full, so we just asked them to choose something for us. They recommended an excellent restaurant which was only about 400ft from the hotel. The place was extremely busy so I can't help but think they squeezed us in because of the hotel's call. We loved our stay here!

This is a 4.5 rating and I highly recommend this hotel if you will be in Florence. The staff was accommodating and helpful and the location was perfect. My husband and I had planned a trip to Italy for September 2020. I purchased a pre-paid, nonrefundable room at Antica Torre Tornabuoni in late 2019 because there was no reason we wouldn't go on the trip, so why not save a little bit of money? Hello COVID-19. I was resigned to losing my money, but figured it couldn't hurt to reach out to the hotel and ask if they would change our reservation to 2021. I emailed the hotel and immediately heard back from the hotel manager, who was gracious and happy to accommodate. We stayed in Florence at two different points in our trip, so I had two separate reservations, each for a Grand Deluxe room. I didn't realize there are only two of these rooms at the hotel and each has a private terrace. Room 503 was a touch smaller, but had a slightly larger terrace with a view of the Duomo. Room 502 was enormous with a slightly smaller terrace with a view of "old" Florence. Both rooms were absolutely worth it. The hotel is located in medieval towers. When you step through the front door, you aren't sure what you are getting into. You do not immediately see the reception desk. Keep going to the end of the entry, past the elevator, and you come to a small reception. The reception staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We were checked in and the manager showed us how to use the fob attached to our key to make the elevator work. (Later in our stays, the reception staff were extremely helpful as they held our luggage, gave us umbrellas, and reserved us an early-morning taxi.) We were very happy with our rooms, as I mentioned. They were comfortable, had the amenities we needed, and there is a book in the room with lots of history and local recommendations. The breakfast room was easy to access from the 5th floor where our rooms were located. Due to COVID-19, there were friendly staff members wearing gloves and masks who served you what items you wanted from the buffet. There is seating outside and inside. The hotel also has a large terrace open to all of its guests with wonderful views of the city. It is especially beautiful to see the city lit up at night. The hotel is located one bridge down from the Ponte Vecchio. it was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go and easy to navigate to and from the hotel. So, why 4.5 stars instead of 5 if this hotel is so perfect and I would stay there again? With a medieval building, things happen. There was a sulfer smell in one of our bathrooms that seemed to be emanating from the bidet. The main elevator broke down during our stay, so we had to use the very slow and ancient one by reception. Neither of these things were horrible, but they weren't ideal. That said, I can't imagine a better place to stay in Florence--location, comfort, views, atmosphere; the Antica Torre Tornabuoni has it all.

Superb Scenery, Well Decorated, Spacious Rooms! For a romantic destination, Hotel Antica di via tourbni is what I'd recommend for any couple. What influenced my decision was its superior and spacious room accommodations. Good hygiene is observed all the time. You will be treated to a marvelous view of the Arno River. The room ceilings are quite high and decorated wonderfully. The hotel is found on a strategic location in Florence with the famous streets and superb scenery. You will be woken up to the best breakfast you haven't had in years. Among the delicacies that you will enjoy for breakfast are various cheeses, scrambled eggs, bacon, pastries, cookies, yogurt vegetable creations, cereals, and fruit. The diner has an alluring setting that is also elegant. Rooftop bars and restaurants are also great selling points for this hotel. The staff was very welcoming and offered services to our satisfaction. Highly recommend for first timers visiting Florence.

This is a boutique hotel located in the heart of Florence's historical center on via tornabuoni ( the street with high-end shopping and right in front of the Ferragamo museum). This structure itself I learned was a midieval tower and has a really romantic feel to it. The rooms are nicely decorated and cozy and the best part of the hotel is the roofside terrace. It's absolutely massive and has a 360 view of the city, I found out one of the photos from their terrace actually won some terrace contest in the city called 'terrazza aperta". The breakfast area is in the enclosed area of the terrace and is a pretty wide buffet. The staff is friendly and very knowledgable of the area. You can walk to all of the major attractions from the hotel itself and it's location close to the arno makes it easy to find no matter where you are. I recommend bringing an awesome camera and taking some pictures of bella firenze from their terrace and sipping a cockail at an angle not many get to see.

My wife and i go to Italy each year. I speak Italian. And we have been going to Antica Torre for years and years. This is a great great hotel, in absolutely the best location a Firenze, the morning breakfast is outrageously great, the views from the balconies are the best a Firenze, absolutely, and the staff are folks you want to take home with you as family. I can't sing praises high enough for Antica Torre. And will be there in Dec, for Xmas wonders. A blessing!

Great location on the river and walking distance to major sites. Our deluxe room was upgraded to large suite (king bed, ac) without a view but very quiet. The view from the rooftop during breakfast made up for this. Excellent breakfast. Rooftop terrace serence place to hang out.

Amazing view. Florence is my favorite of all my traveling. Booked a room here online and i was aware of the price, but as usual Italian hotel staff treats English speaking guests with extra respect by doubling other services. I understand very well Italian but they were not aware of the fact. Waiter made inappropriate comments in his Southern Italian Dialect about an an American couple. He basically said to his coworker: These stupid Americans, dont know the difference between a hamburger and Florentine steak., even though the American couple tip him more than anyone else... Disgusted from this episode, still hotel was amazing, If you visit Florence this hotel is perfect because of the location and view.. I am sure you will enjoy it. Just save your money and eat in Tratorias which you can find everywhere around this hotel.

Gorgeous hotel. Room is huge and bathroom is even bigger. Breakfast spread has good variety and baked goods are amazing. Great view from the terrace and wonderful staff. They have complimentary coffee and tea all day.

"NOT CUSTOMER FOCUSED" 2 of 5 starsReviewed 1 week ago We had only one night stay and one day to enjoy this beautiful city. Unfortunately, while the property plays up 13th century charm, there is nothing charming about being kept up all night by revelers on the street due to lack of effective noise cancelling insulation. Our room was small and felt vintage. The sewage truck comes by to empty out the tanks around 4am for about 40 mins. We did not sleep a wink and it colored our view of the hotel. We paid around $350.00 USD for the experience; I spoke with hotel staff who were very unsympathetic when I asked about the possibility of receiving some sort of break on the rate. When I wrote to the hotel manager, he basically said that was part of the experience of staying in an ancient city. Of course, we will never return but I wanted to put this out there for readers who need some assurance of quiet when sleeping. We were in Room 405. I also felt compelled to send this out because of the lack of concern one felt when bring the situation to the attention of the current hotel manager. Room Tip: If you are a light sleeper, select another property. See more room tips Green Features: Don't know of any environmental program, the plumbing and shower don't work well.

* We were lucky enough to spend three days in Florence during our honeymoon. We were even luckier to stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice, especially considering the hotel used to be a medieval tower. The staff was amazing; they were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about where to eat and great at providing directions. What truly sets this hotel apart from most is the view. The roof top terrace has spectacular views of the Duomo. Simply breathtaking.
